Tayloermade RSi-1 irons

The RS TP's do look very very nice.....not sure about the KBS Tour Stiff shaft though. When I tried it, the 120g, stiff C-taper shaft played a lot stiffer than what i'm used too .

Now those Srixo irons . . . . . . .
 
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:

Exactly that's, with the old bats it as easy to count bad shots, now it's easier to count the good ones :(
 
Been trying out irons for the last couple of weeks. So far the rsi2's have been my favourites. Going for a hit of the tp's tomorrow. Anyone recommend a decent fitter within reach of Cambridgeshire, that specialises in taylormade?
 
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.
Really? When I looked at the RSi TP lofts they were within 1 degree all the way through compared to my Ping i20's

I have gone from i20's to RSI Tp irons and am so glad I have. Shot my 2 lowest scores of the year in comps since having them (2 & 5 under gross).
The gapping is different....7 - pw are weaker than it was in the i20's by 1 degree, 6 iron same and 4&5 irons 1 degree stronger.
 
Just a word of warning to anyone playing TM clubs with "face slots"......

I played with a guy on Sunday who was also using the clubs I have, RS1's.
He has had a problem with the material in one of the face slots cracking.
He took the club back to his pro, who in turn contacted Taylormade.
"Apparently", Taylormade are only planning on a one year production run of these heads, and as such replacements will be hard to come by at some point in the future.
He has been told that if anybody suffers a failure of the club in this area, TM will refund purchasers in full for their sets.
Don't know how true this is.
I have checked my clubs, and they are absolutely fine.
Hopefully nothing to worry about.
 
Is everyone still in love with these, I'm being treated to a set and thinking of going for the RSI 2's now, just need to find somewhere local to hit them again as the last time was at the Belfry TM Academy when they were first launched.

Anyone got any views on the stock shafts and fitting etc, as much info and experience you all have the better please.

I've got the RSI TP's and I love them.. Plenty of distance with a quite high ball flight as well.. I've put the KBS Tour stiff shafts in and they're really smooth.. I didn't go down the fitting route though as I'm not really a believer in standard fittings...

I looked at these and would think (assume) they wouldn't be any tougher than my muscle back MP52's, I'm a little concerned that I don't take a backwards step to too much of a cavity back club so hence the RSI 2 choice against the RSI 1's but the TP's do appeal to me also :confused:

I think Podge has just picked up a set of either the 1's or the 2's (not sure which). He used them for the first time last week and got himself a nice little cut down to 15..

With regards to forgiveness, I've not noticed too much of an issue with the TP's being unforgiving.. If anything, they feel more forgiving than several sets I've tried recently.. The only club I've tried that I preferred was the Srixon Z745's, but the deal I got on the TP's was too good to miss...

I have these too. And I find them easier to hit than the Titliest 712cb's I had.

I did this but RSI2 not tp still loving mine!
 
I got the tp forged and they went great on the range during fitting. Good flight, good numbers, easy enough to hit, bought them over the mp15/25 I also tried.
 
Going to try and drop into somewhere on my travels today and hit the TP against the RSI 2's and see where I go from there.
 
Still loving my RS1's. Best irons I've ever played with.
Getting forum distances with mine. 200 yard par 3 yesterday, through the back with a 4 iron, (and no, there wasn't a 20mph tailwind!!).
:D
