(Review: TaylorMade Tour Preferred irons)

TaylorMade Tour Preferred irons is the latest high-performance set from the company, which touts them as blending "modern technology with classic design."

  • Classic design: The Tour Preferred irons have a thinner topline than most current irons, and are shorter heel-to-toe than most contemporary irons. That gives them the smaller "players look" at address preferred by some golfers.

  • Modern technology: All the usual TaylorMade bells and whistles, such as inverted cone technology. The "tour-configured" sole has softened leading and trailing edges, which are designed to minimize resistance and discourage digging.

A shallow, undercut cavity allows for repositioning weight to the perimeter, and is also home to a "vibration-management sound badge," designed to help produce a solid, pleasing sound at impact.

The TaylorMade Tour Preferred irons are targeted at low- to mid-handicappers. The stock shaft is True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shafts, and the stock grip Golf Pride Tour Velvet. Available in 2- through 9-iron, pitching wedge, attack wedge and sand wedge. MSRP for a set is $899, and the clubs will be available at retail beginning Sept. 19, 2008. (next page)
