Another day, another leak TaylorMade’s soon-to-be released Tour Preferred (TP) irons.
The name of the irons pictured above, MC, stands for “muscle cavity.” They are expected to be the medium-sized offering of the three Tour Preferred irons that TaylorMade will release this year, along with smaller Forged MB (muscle back) and a larger CB (cavity back) irons.
Previous MC irons from TaylorMade were by no means “distance irons,” as they offered just a bit more forgiveness than the company’s MB designs. But the addition of a Speed Pocket on the sole of the long and mid irons (pictured above) should be a catalyst for adding more ball speed and forgiveness to the clubs.
A TP Badge? Our sources says no. TaylorMade will likely opt for the words “Tour Preferred” instead of the TP badge. Click the image to enlarge it and see the grainy details.
Yesterday, TaylorMade leaked early photos of the 2014 TP Forged MB irons on its site (the picture above with the yellow boxes). What should be noted, however, is that the TP MB irons leaked on the company’s website clearly lack the TP badging shown on the toe of the MC irons below, a strong indication that the final versions will not include a TP badge, but rather the words “Tour Preferred.”
We know, we know. The TP badge is _______ sweet. But we’re told by our sources, including original poster MorikawaTMAG, that the badge did not make the final cut for production.
