    Lightbulb Taylormade irons with more offset, stiff flex

    I'm currently gaming Rocketbladez Tour irons, but I'm looking to try TM irons with a little more offset.

    Looking for at least 5-PW set in stiff flex, preferably a 2012-model or newer.

    Thanks!

    Please take a look at my add. Although the shafts are regular you will not experiment a huge difference in flex if any.

    Hi Chief,

    I did see your ad before I posted mine. In fact, I already tried recent model Reg-flex TM irons earlier this season. Very similar lightweight steel TM stock Regs in them.

    Unfortunately for me, there was a huge difference in control for my swing. Once I switched to my RBZ Tours with Nippon stiff shafts, the control returned. I'm not willing to take that chance again - I'll take control over distance personally.

    Thanks anyways

    Fair enough. I could have swapped the shafts from your existing to the Aeroburners free of charge. With all due respect
    aren't the Rocketbladez Tour irons geared for distance with their speed pockets? Which brings me to the next question if you don't mind.
    Why do you think you need more offset? Hands ahead of the ball? Higher ball flight? Pushes to the right? Or else?

    No, the Tour versions don't have as strong lofts/longer shafts as the "standard" Rocketbladez. I believe while the speed pockets could help with distance (though I think they are a gimmick in that respect), they mainly help with thin hits.

    With weaker lofts and shorter shafts than the standard Bladez (I don't have the stock shafts in mine anyways), the distances are more tempered (aka a 7-iron is a 7-iron).

    The reason I would like to try TMs with more offset - is because I have a few single irons with more offset that I hit well. They seem to require less address adjustment than my gamers for me to hit the shots that I want.

    Interesting offer on the free shaft swap though! I didn't notice that detail on your original ad.
