This has ended. CliCK HERE FOR THE START OF THE Q&A

This took place on October 23, 2012.

As you’re all aware, TaylorMade Golf is coming off one of its most significant product launches in company history with the reveal of RocketBladez and RocketBladez Tour irons via a webcast on Tuesday with President and CEO, Mark King, and Executive Vice President, Sean Toulon.

For over 10 hours, they hosted a global webcast on their home page in which they revealed product information, images, presale for the product, and perhaps most significantly, opened their home page to questions from golfers around the world. Combining all social channels, they told us they answered more than 500 questions from golfers. The premise was simple: Here’s TaylorMade’s revolutionary new iron – one they believe is the biggest advancement in 40 years – so, what do you want to know about it?

Quite a bit, they discovered. And just as they understand that golfers have plenty of questions about the market version, they are 100 percent aware of the energy in this community to learn more about RocketBladez Tour. Questions ranging from Tour testing to the shape of the irons and everything in between. What was behind Sean O’Hair’s prototype models? How did they decide on the camouflage badging? How do they compare to the Tour Preferred line-up? What is the plan for the Tour rollout? What has been feedback from players who game a traditional Tour Preferred MB?

Luckily for WRX, TaylorMade has agreed to bring their product experts inside our community walls once again for a live and exclusive two-hour chat tomorrow right here on GolfWRX.

We’re using this thread take your questions for TaylorMade about the RocketBladez Tour irons… and as mentioned their product and R&D experts will be here tomorrow for a Town Hall-style chat from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. EST to answer.

Feel free to leave your questions starting today and join us tomorrow.

PS:
If you need some incentive to leave a good question: TaylorMade is giving 2 early sets of the RocketBladez Tour irons to GolfWRX. Anyone who gets a question answered will be entered into a random drawing for a shot at one of the two sets.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
