Today I received my new Rocketbladez demo irons, so I thought I would put them to the test. The demo irons were stiff steel shafts with standard length and lie. I tested them against my current irons which are the TaylorMade MC irons with S300 stiff steel shafts that are 1.5" longer than standard. (The demo irons are shorter in length than my current irons). My guess before going out was that the Rocketbladez would go about the same distance as my current irons because my current irons are fit for me and are much longer in length. Boy was I wrong!! Here are the results:
Distance Club Speed Ball Speed
MC PW 127 76 93
Rocketbladez PW 128 78 94
MC 7iron 157 80 110
Rocketbladez 7iron 164 82 115
MC 4 iron 181 88 121
Rocketbladez 4 iron 193 88 127
***The test was done with some pretty old TaylorMade range balls on a 57 degree day***
***10 balls were hit with each club***
The Rocketbladez definitely go further than anything I have hit. The most impressive thing was the increase in ball speed. The Rocketbladez 4 iron went 12 yards further on average because of a 6 mph advantage in ball speed.
The Rocketbladez are 2-3.5 degrees stronger.
