Tayloermade RSi-1 irons

Fish said:
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.

Fish think carefully about this one. I had the Tp cb's that true were awesome bats, and at the time of changing I was striping them beautifully. I change to the mc's and instantly noticed how less forgiving they were. In all honesty I got to 8 with the cb's and haven't shot lower than a buffer round all year. Finally getting to grips now and my game is coming back slowly, but I'd really Steer anyone higher that 12 max away from the mc's.

A bit like Medway Jon playing off 27 and buying a set of blades a few years ago.
With all due respect, I played with him when he had them. He hit one 4 iron "reasonably" well, but duffed almost every other shot with them, yet all he raved about after the game was his "flushed 4 iron"...
:mad:

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.;)

My forged TP's, with KBS tour shafts must be illegal. Nothing should fly as well as that. Had a decent h'cap cut already.

But thought you'd be needing a set of cavity back shovels Pete?

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?

You'll only be buying a half set anyway Pete, what with all those hybrids you carry :D

God loves a trier.;)

Surely when RSI 3 uber distance come out soon, a few apples will fall from the tree.

They are, comfortably better than any of the others I tried. Now I've just got to find the moolah, or wait until they come down in the sales.

I've put the 5 iron back in recently, as hardly ever using the 2 hybrid, and dont hit it great anyway.

A "special order" said the direct golf man - whatever does he mean? A bit too direct, I feel.:)

A 7 iron was going as far or farther than my old R9 6 iron.

I know they are probably jacked, but bad strikes go 90% the same distance.

The 7 iron is jacked 4* different to the Ping's, hence a longer ball flight. Consistency of distance across the full set builds confidence for shots into the green.

On the odd occasion I've lowered myself to try out TM irons I've found the distances varied,with some flying off into the sunset and others not so, both with a decent strike though.
It could be something related to the Plastic technology that's usually glued to the back of their irons :whistle:

Fortunately this isn't a problem I've ever encountered with my beautifully forged Mizunos. Good strike= repeatable distance.

These RS thingys sound promising though..





Think I'll book myself in at Toys r us for a fitting :cool:
