Anyone got them? Going well, feeling good? Looking old quickly, or good quality lasting well?

After struggling with my long irons in a set of Titliest 712cb's I changed to Ping i25's (stiff CFS) earlier this year. Long game is now good but the short irons are dead, really dead.

Long story short, I've been offered a set of Taylormade RSi-1 irons with stiff KBS tapers.

Thoughts anyone?

Smiffy has them. Enough said I think Brian.:whistle:
 
Can't help with the RSi1 but loving my RSi2 and they still look pristine

.... looking for a 4 iron and may end up with an RSi1 version for forgiveness!
 
Smiffy loves from his posts.

I too have RsI 2 with c tapers, I'm loving mine too.

Worth a gamble but aren't you playing decent with a recent 0.4 cut down to 5.6...,...
 
RSi2's are lovely. I have been fitted for them, and now just waiting for the price to drop.;) RSi1's are a bit chunkier, and have stronger lofts. To be fair Smiffy has been hitting them well, and for him, long.
 
I love mine.
Have them in regular graphite so totally different to the shaft you are looking at Brian, but as far as the heads go I'm sold.
I personally don't find them chunky at all, and am hitting at least a club less, maybe two on some shots, than I was with my old Cobras. But that may be down to the shafts as reading the specs of both the RS1's and Cobra S3's they are very similar in loft and lie?
But as I say, I'm loving mine. I'd go as far as saying they are the best irons I've ever owned.
 
First outing with them today. A gross 75, 3 under h'cap. Hit a couple low off the face, and they still did the biz. Probably stuck more shots closer to the hole than I have for a long time, but putted poorly - 32 putts. Got a matchplay Q'final this week, so will try and fit in a spell on the practice ground before Friday.
 
Interesting read, I fancy a change from my MP-52's and was considering Taylormade but the Tour Preferred MC Irons, not sure if they would be more forgiving though as they are a similar muscle back to my Mizzie's, but reading a lot about the RSi-1's recently I might take a closer look at them.

We've got a taylormade demo day next Sunday. The two I'm interested in are the rsi 2's and the tour preferred mc's. I really hope the mc's suit me, love the look of them.

Also planning to try out the 16 or 18 degree rsi uni if they have them.
 
They are dead good. Whenever my mates borrow them when we're just hitting a few balls they always comment how good they are.
If you thin it, you'll be fine as they still fly miles.
hit it well and it feels beautiful, and your heart sings.

I have Rsi2 and an UDI love em! Not sure you'll get to try the MC as I don't think they are part of the current range. Good luck and enjoy the testing.

New tm irons out in November so they'll be a price drop on the horizon

If so, that's great as I have my eye on the RSi-1s to replace my ageing Burners but I'm waiting for the inevitable price drop once a new set comes. Any link to anything confirming new irons in November?

I've seen the design and professional photo's. They look almost identical the the current rs range tbh. There was no name on them though, just a tp badge. He said they won't print the name as if the photo leaks they can just claim its a prototype

Brill, thanks Hovis. As long as I don't go all gooey-eyed over the new ones, the RSi1s look like they'll do the trick.

I'm planning to compare them against the Callaway XRs and Ping G30s at a fitting first, just in case they're not for me!

My pal is a club builder and is constantly badgering me to have the rsi tp's. trouble is they're just too damn long. Compared to my i20's i was getting 4 to 5 mph more ball speed off the tm's. It may sound strange by i like how far my irons go. I don't want them to be longer as it will open up a gap in my bag. They are the first taylormade irons I've liked

I know it sounds silly, but I keep getting caught out with how far the RS1's actually fly.
I'm hitting distances I could only dream about a year or two ago.

Is that not because you've gone to graphite shafts smiley-char124.gif
 
I went for a fitting today.

I tried a Johns letters, Ping S55, Mizuno JPX850, RSI 2's and the RSI Forged TP.

The RSI forget TP's were absolutely beautiful to hit, they virtually hit it themselves.

I dont know whether to buy now, or wait till they come down in the sales, as never bought a set for more than £500 before.

They were miles better than the other ones I hit. Normally you narrow it down to 2 different types, but nothing else was even close.

Is there anyone not getting on with them and considering selling...........worth a try.;)
