TaylorMade Golf Tour Preferred CB Forged Irons Review

The TaylorMade Tour Preferred CB Forged Irons boast above-average workability and look a lot like a game-improvement iron.The two-piece, carbon steel construction ("CB" stands for cavity back) consists of a cast body welded to a forged face. A small "undercut" cavity aids forgiveness. The clubface employs "inverted cone technology" (ICT) to boost ball speed on off-center contact. Are they the iron set you are looking for?
Look and Feel
The new irons are created by plasma-welding a 8620 carbon steel cast body and a slightly firmer, forged, carbon steel face. This construction allowed TaylorMade to incorporate an undercut in the back of the club, which in turn let designers move more weight lower and deeper to increase forgiveness.
The face also features TaylorMade's Inverted Cone Technology, which varies the thickness of the face itself so shots that are slightly mis-hit create nearly the same ball speed as shots hit in the sweet spot. A carbon composite badge on the back of the face helps to dampen the impact sound and further enhance feel. The Tour Preferred CB Forged Irons have a thin topline, but the widest sole of the three new forged irons, as well as the most offset and slightly stronger lofts. Still, at their friendliest, the clubs would be classified as game-improvement irons.

Technology
It has a high Moment of Inertia to provide optimal distance control and forgiveness. The precision weighting port guarantees precise swingweights and optimal center of gravity locations from club to club.The face also features TaylorMade's Inverted Cone Technology, which varies the thickness of the face itself so shots that are slightly mis-hit create nearly the same ball speed as shots hit in the sweet spot.

The irons produces the highest MOI values, which is expected, as it's the most forgiving of the three. A main contributor to the forgiving nature of the Tour Preferred CB Forged Irons is the incorporation of TaylorMade's Inverted Cone Technology (ICT) ? the only one of the new Left handed TP irons that does so. If you're not familiar with ICT, quite simply it promotes faster ball speeds across an expanded area on the club face.

Performance
The irons look great at address and with a thicker top-line inspire a little more confidence. Off-center hits do feel less harsh and the solid contact give me the buttery soft feel. The Besides, they felt great and offered far more forgiveness than I expected. Shot after shot I hit flew high down my target line and landed soft. I loved the feel and performance of the irons and the looks of the black cavity insert.

Conclusion
with Steel Shafts and Dynamic Gold 300 steel shafts are the premium tour irons for the ultimate in shot making. Cavity Back design delivers both forgiveness and exceptional feel. The compact blade combined with legendary Taylor Made design make these a true players iron. But as for 2011, the price tag of the new iron set is a little bit high on the market, so you can consider buying them online, where wholesale golf equipments are always available.
