Amazing Workability of the Tour Preferred CB Forged Irons
"I hit these today at a demo day. I hit the 6-iron 191 carry, 210 total. My club was a total of 190 and a carry of about 177. The workability is amazing. They are easy to hit a draw, easy to hit straight, and the fade." This is my partner's feelings after he tested the newly issued Taylormade Tour Preferred CB Forged Ironswhich combine a forged face with a cast undercut cavity to deliver the feel of a forged iron with the forgiveness of a deep cavity back. The Precision Weighting Port ensures consistent swing weight and optimal CG in every club.
As we all know, TaylorMade has introduced three 2011 TP irons--- CB, MC, and MB. And the CB Forged Irons boast the highest MOI of the three 2011 TP irons. As the largest of the three new irons, the TP CB also produces the highest MOI values, which is expected, as it's the most forgiving of the three. A main contributor to the forgiving nature of the TP CB is the incorporation of TaylorMade's Inverted Cone Technology (ICT) – the only one of the new Left handed TP irons that does so. If you're not familiar with ICT, quite simply it promotes faster ball speeds across an expanded area on the club face.
The Discount Golf Gifts feature a new groove pattern that TaylorMade says goes right up to the USGA's limitations on volume and sharpness. Each club also has a weight in the back that allows TaylorMade to adjust the location of the sweet spot. Contrary to what some equipment blogs and message boards pondered, while the weight is affixed using a screw.
The new Tour Preferred Forged CB irons are created by plasma-welding a 8620 carbon steel cast body and a slightly firmer, forged, carbon steel face. This construction allowed TaylorMade to incorporate an undercut in the back of the club, which in turn let designers move more weight lower and deeper to increase forgiveness.
What is more, each TaylorMade Tour Preferred CB Iron comes fitted with a True Temper Dynamic Golf XP steel shaft, which is lighter and promotes higher ball flight and Tour Velvet grips.
