Golf Monthly Verdict

These irons are incredibly strong through impact and a powerful but relatively low ball flight should remain controllable even in the windiest conditions. Forgiveness isn't its best feature but soaring shots that penetrate the wind will help any low handicapper forget all about merciful striking.

Taylor Made have successfully designed an attractive club that appears easy to hit. They look just as expensive as they cost and any buyer can rest assured that his playing partners will be eyeing them up with envy. These irons have a mid launch angle to offer penetrating flights and the head is slightly offset for greater playability.

In July 2023, Neil became just the 9th editor in Golf Monthly's 112-year history. Originally working with the best coaches in the UK to produce instruction content, he went on to become a feature writer interviewing many of the biggest names in the game including Tiger Woods, Seve Ballesteros, Rory McIlroy and Arnold Palmer.

A 5-handicap golfer, Neil is a club member who takes a keen interest in the health of the game at grassroots level. You’ll often now find him writing about club-related issues such as WHS, membership retention and how best to bridge the gap between the range and the course.
