Toura Golf Irons Build Test: 2024 Forum Review

[Donn lost in San Diego]

Thanks.  Per website, they are not priced like DeBeer diamonds.  Priced in line with big name brands.  If I were younger I would try to find fitter but I am 69 and need to play more, not spend more.

if you can find the "Shop" button, it will take you to the individual models. 

For the models that we tested, which are basically the "Bentley" of their offerings, you're looking at $700 for the set of heads and just under $1000 for a built set 4-PW

Agree with Stu here. For a customization / heads only option, we did their the cream of the crop. The other @Toura Golf options will perform just as well as the MB or CB options tested. You have to remember, each iron is manufactured by Kyoei Golf Industries in Japan. They are one of the top iron / wedge houses in Japan. Toura is pretty much giving these clubs away for a fraction of the price on the Kyoei site. Ranging from $1500 to $2500 for a set of irons on the Kyoei site VS $500 to $1100 on Toura. 

Great product and cannot recommend it enough.

I figured since the page flipped right after I posted my final review reminder, I'd post it again.

What a guy that @azstu324

*** QUICK UPDATE ***

Was not able to get out over the weekend due to a garage that was so messy that if I didn't clean it up, I may have sold the house outright. 

Was able to sneak in a range session over lunch. Irons are still silky smooth off the face. It was quite windy  today to mostly just a feel / knock the rust off session. Still working on shot shape and different feel shots. One thing I am very much high on is the workability of the mid irons (specifically 6-8i). I do like to hit a low running 'punch' at times and the turf interaction and crisp feel on the face works great on the 6, 7 and 8 for these types of shots under 125. I also do love the fact that I can keep the flight lower and still have my straight or work a baby cut with each club. Looking forward to this shot type into play in the coming rounds. Have a few scheduled for this week. League night, TENATIVELY for tomorrow. Because, you know it's Tuesday in WI which means rain in the forecast yet again. Have 18 planned at Hawthorne Hills for the 4th early. Need to get the old handicap back in order after a less than stellar early portion of the year. Only 2 rounds in the 70's and currently my highest index in a 3 years. 

Happy 4th everyone and hope you all have a chance to get out and get after it this short work week! 
 
Onward.

Doubtful we are getting out this evening.... Yet another storm on a Tuesday with more expected for Wednesday. Fingers crossed it lifts for my round on the 4th.

WE somehow were able to sneak in the round last night. Course was a bog. Bunkers = concrete. Greens, slow and sticky. Heck, you didn't even need to wash your ball as there was standing water inside the cup on 4 out of the 9 holes. 

Yet another lackluster round. Three takeaways from the irons.

1. Again they come off the face so incredibly well.

2. I am starting to use the PW on uphill punch and runs. Loving the bump / bump / check up. Love that I have that shot in the rolodex now. 

3. The lack of offset is life changing compared to the Takomo 101T. My shot shape is much, much more consistent. 

Now to the putting green for some much needed practice. The GoLo is on the short list to be demoted very soon. 

Onward to 6 am tomorrow.
