• With the Qi, TaylorMade prioritised reducing the chances of a slice. A multi-material cap- back that is lighter than the steel it replaces decreases weight high in the toe, making the clubface easier to square at impact. • It has been a staple of TaylorMade irons for more than a decade, but to ignore the heat brought by the “Speed Pocket” slot up to the 7-iron would be journalistic malpractice. • Top 5 in Sound/Feel, middle-handicaps • Specs: 7-iron: 28 degrees; PW: 43 degrees
• The T350, with its larger size and wider sole, is the company’s most aggressive approach to boosting forgiveness and ball speed.

• The high-strength,
variable-thickness steel clubface features the same alloy as the T200 as well as the L-shape that overlaps into the sole for extra rebound at impact. • Healthy chunks of super-dense tungsten in the heel and toe foster sumo-wrestler- like stability. • Top 5 in Performance, all handicaps • Specs: 7-iron: 29 degrees; PW: 43 degrees
‘Really long. Even smooth swings produced shots longer than I’m used to. Flew higher, too. I’d tell you about mis-hits, but I just striped this repeatedly.’ – 11-HANDICAP
‘It was light but explosive off the clubface. I could make an easy swing to get real easy power. It also was effortless through
the ground.’ – 12-HANDICAP
