TaylorMade Golf has introduced a new high-performance iron called Tour Preferred, engineered to blend modern technology with classic design.

The tour-configured sole was shaped with the help of in-depth feedback from TaylorMade Tour Staff professionals, and features a softened leading and trailing edge that work together to minimize resistance and discourage digging. That helps the sole to power smoothly through the turf to promote purer ball-striking.

The shallow, undercut cavity design allows substantial weight to be distributed in the perimeter of the clubhead, equaling high MOI for exceptional stability and forgiveness on off-center hits.

The cavity also houses a vibration-management sound badge, strategically shaped and positioned over the Inverted Cone to fine-tune the club’s pitch and resonance, ensuring that the sound of impact is solid and satisfying.

Tour Preferred irons also incorporate TaylorMade’s renowned Inverted Cone clubface technology. Originally developed to improve the average distance of TaylorMade drivers, Inverted Cone technology expands the area of the clubface that delivers high ball speed, promoting greater distance on off-center hits and helping to maintain consistent distance from shot to shot.

TaylorMade Tour Preferred irons are equipped with True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shafts and Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips. Available in 2- through 9-iron, pitching wedge, attack wedge and sand wedge, at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of US$899. Consumer availability begins in the US on September 19, 2008.
