SLDR irons


RookieBlue7

Recommended Posts

Colt, I know you or Tony know something about theses irons that are due in June.  They're definitely coming and are supposed to be between the Speedblade and the Tp CB.  I've seen one pic of them and the slot is all the way through for more flex.  Question is what do you know or have pictures of?

Rookie knows poetry in motion.

Nope, just know that if you get them in hand, we're getting a selfie with them. Ha. I'd rather see the WITB chick displaying them but hey...

These are some of the best looking irons I have seen in a really long time.  When I heard that an SLDR iron was coming out I could not have been less excited and more skeptical.  Seeing them, and understanding their position in the TM line up makes perfect sense.  I'm really feeling these.

I'm always interested in trying out irons when they come out, and these rank particularly high on my must demo list now.

 

After looking at the specs MBP put up just now, that's thing I always have a hard time with is comparing apples to apples.  Because with the iron set I've got, they are nearly a club off from what's considered a "modern" set.  My 4 iron is this sets 5 iron, and each iron down the list is effectively 1 degree off from the SLDR counterpart.  (my 5 iron is 27 vs. SLDR 6 iron is 28).  It gets a little weird when we get down to the PW.  My 9 is 44 and the SLDR PW is 46!  So far when I compare similarly lofted clubs the Wishon's hold up each time.  I can't wait for these to hit the shelves and see what happens.

I'd love to get in and test these at The Kingdom at Reynolds vs my current Adams combo set off the van. I was intrigued by the Speedbladez till I heard about these

I really thought these unnecessary with CB's and Speedblades already. Pretty saturated iron offerings now.

Not really MBP. They're following the progression of their success. They have a pilot iron to match with their top driver now. Just like they have with every line previously. The R11 didn't get a lot of acclaim but they've got a cult like following among consumers. Same with the R9 and R7 series as well.

I hate to admit it too, but TM has one of the strongest collections of irons today. TP series is excellent. SpeedBlade is fun. And I can actually see this SLDR iron doing well. 

 

I hope they've learned from Adams XTD Forged. I've got them in my bag. Speed pocket, but they feel hard. The smaller an iron head gets that harder it is to get the pocket right. That's my theory.

There's a way around that, IMO. If they can forge the heads then mill everything out. Don't know what that would cosh but it's fix the tinky feel. That said, they say these fixed that issue

They've done that since the Rocketbladez. The slot is intended to help on low mishits, which they decided aren't as common past the 7i.

 

I'm interested in the difference between the old slot the and pass through slot. Did they put a uniform compound in there or is it denser closer to the sweet spot?
