RocketBallz Irons
Deliver Distance
The
LPGA
....
It’s a
SHORE
thing
Most of the buzz about the RocketBallz
brand has been all about the drivers and
fairways that carry that name. But TaylorMade
technicians say the irons in that line deserve
plenty of attention, too.
They maintain that those clubs were
designed to deliver greater distance, and that
distance comes from the way they utilized
metalwood technology to create irons with
faces that flex like those on their drivers. At
the same time, the equipment maker worked
hard to bolster accuracy.
For starters, it employed a new “Toe-Bar”
feature and then combined that advance with a
revamped Inverted Cone that is made to expand
the portion of the face that delivers high ball
speed and promote more distance on off-center
hits. As a result, engineers say, they were able
to stiffen the toe area of the clubface, so that
when it flexed during a shot, it directed the golf
ball straight ahead as opposed to off-line.
