Performance
The standard SpeedBlade 7-iron is strong at 30.5° loft, the same as the RocketBladez, and the average carry distance was similar as a result – very long. The gapping works really well throughout the set and it feels strong with a penetrating ball flight. Only a really bad strike will cause a significant loss in distance.
TaylorMade’s SpeedBlade irons are designed to offer a high launch and more distance. The Speed Pocket, which also features on TaylorMade’s RocketBladez irons, has been widened and lengthened and is now in the shape of a handlebar in the 3-7 irons. This gives golfers more clubface area toward the toe and heel that promotes a high launch angle, strong ball flight, and a better feel.
The Speed Pocket also features a cut-through slot internally, which allows for more flex and rebound on the bottom part of the face, making the SpeedBlade iron the fastest face TaylorMade has ever created, measuring right up to the COR limit. The SpeedBlade also features Inverted Cone Technology (bigger sweet spot on off-center hits), as featured on the Tour Burner and Burner OS model, the latter winning the Super Game Improver category in Today’s Golfer’s Irons Test earlier this year. When tested, the new SpeedBlade 6-iron traveled almost ten yards farther with a 4% higher peak trajectory than TaylorMade’s Tour Burner iron.
