“We’ve worked extensively to advance fast-faced iron performance, and feel like we’re well ahead of our competitors in this category,” said Bret Wahl, TaylorMade senior director of iron, wedge and putter research and development. “We’ve learned that high COR is most useful when on top of high speed you can also control the face-flexion to send the ball on an accurate flight-line. With that in mind, we’re very pleased with what we’ve achieved with the New 2012 TaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Irons
”

TaylorMade Golf has introduced its new New 2012 TaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Irons
, part of the new RocketBallz range that includes driver, fairway woods and hybrids.

The new TaylorMade RocketBallz line replaces the TaylorMade Burner range and its irons are designed to deliver distance and a higher, straighter ball flight.

\"Without a doubt, the newNew 2012 TaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Irons
will be an improvement over any other iron in a golfer\'s bag,\" said Sean Toulon, executive vice president of TaylorMade Golf.

Key to the distance performance of TaylorMade\'s New 2012 TaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Irons
is a large, thin clubface that\'s strong and stiff at the perimeter and thin at the inner edge, allowing the face to flex freely.

RocketBallz also incorporate TaylorMade\'s Inverted Cone clubface technology, which expands the portion of the face that delivers high ball speed, promoting more distance on off-centre hits.
RocketBallz 3- through 5-New 2012 TaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Irons
feature a new, hollow clubhead construction akin to that of the company’s industry leading line of metalwoods. This hollow head construction allows the company’s engineers to create the clubface (455 carpenter’s steel in the 3- through 5), and allows for a lower and centered CG location which ensures pure contact on the face when hitting off turf, promoting maximum energy transfer at impact.

Lowering the CG also allowed TaylorMade engineers to strengthen the loft to promote a more penetrating flight. This improved CG location is made possible in the 3- to 6-irons by thinning areas of the sole, top-line and back wall, then repositioning the saved weight strategically to the back wall and heel to shift the CG lower and more toward the center.
