Butch - what'd you think of the sound and feel? They seem to still have the cast sound to them when hit - VibRCor is assisting but they are a bit loud still for my taste. What'd you think of the ball flight?Ok got a little time in sim this morning due to rain. Set of 721 shafted with rdx stiff. Much better in my opinion to the elevate shafts. They still require a smoother tempo than my i95 shafted KFTs. Nice smooth Louie tempo and they are money. Forgiveness of the slightly larger head could come in handy. Will they make my bag before tournament in mid July. My guess is no however I’ll give the a chance. The slightly wider sole might be an advantage to the softer fairways in Colorado. Solidly built club but going from the KFT blade size to the blade size of the 721 takes a little getting used to. Will spend more time with them to give them a fair shake. Probably not a fair comparison between the and a set that I’m very familiar with. Hopes were high after the experience we had with driver.
Agreed on the 4i. It's a fun club to play. I'm getting good height, plus distance that puts me in great positions off the tee.This weekend my daughter was in Orlando playing volleyball and I was back in MN watching on BallerTV (great option by the way). When my kids are competing I'm a "pacer" and can't sit still. So during this time - I decided to grab the TE C721 4 iron and hit balls in my sim while watching her play on the Sim screen (see pic). I must have taken 4-500 swings over the course of 4 days.
I'm seeming to gravitate towards the 4 iron more and more from my current one. It may be the head/shaft combo but I really like the way the ball comes off the face. When hit well, the ball really does go and the trajectory is higher than my current 4 iron, when hit off-center I could def tell but it still seemed to have much of the same attributes to the ball - I could just tell by the sound and feel. Got league tomorrow night and I think the 4 is going in the bag. Better half and daughter get home this morning so I'm sure they'll be just bumming around the house today so I'm going to get out to the course to play the full set again. I'll check in after the round.

I would agree with sound. More of a cast sound. Dead center shots seem to have a nice sound. I like the ball flight with the rdx shaft. I get plenty of height out of the coupled with the rdx shaft. Are there better shaft options out there I’m sure. I have a few issues with the c721. 1 the actual size of head. It seems big to me for a players distance iron. If that doesn’t bother you as a player then by all means give them some serious thought. 2 is shaft options. I’m sure it’s difficult to offer more standard options for a company this size and to try and meet their 48 hour delivery promise. I wish there were a few recoil options. 3 is swing weight. First set with the elevate 95 reg flex came in near d5. Even with my swing speed being inline with recommended range the reg flex at d5 in long irons made them a challenge. The newly shafted rdx set have helped some. I have not check swing weight yet on these. I feel that the 721s with either shaft combo require a nice smooth tempo. They will get more time in the bag. They just got here at a really bad time for me. Right after surgery and right in the middle of our busy season. If anyone has questions please don’t hesitate to ask.Butch - what'd you think of the sound and feel?

Nice writeup, as usual. The E721's look very smooth. Not sure I need an iron ponder (from my C200's) right now. Ha!Boom. And I mean boom.
The excitement Tour Edge has for these is unlike I’ve seen them before for any previous release. And they SWEAR that they absolutely nailed the sound.
Would Love to hear more about ball flight and distances achieved compared to what you are used to.Getting the C721's out for 18 on Friday. Anyone looking at these have any questions you want me to try to answer? Anything you want me to test out?
Will do. I have a few thoughts, but want to get 18 more holes of data in Arccos to confirm or deny what I've seen thus far with most of the irons. I did hit a lot of 4i shots though last round, so I feel like I can speak to that a bit now, and confirm it after Friday.Would Love to hear more about ball flight and distances achieved compared to what you are used to.
I’m surprised the rdx staft brought the swing weight down. With the 3 E721 7i I bought the kbs 70 Reg was D5.5 and the elevate and xp85 were both D5. Made no sense to me unless they are somehow adding weight to the head or picking heavier heads for the graphite shafted clubs.I would agree with sound. More of a cast sound.

Not sure what they are exactly. I have not taken the time yet to weigh and measure. I was told they would be d2. Golf works should have swing weight scales back in stock soon. I’ll be purchasing shortly. They feel and play better for me with the stiff rdx shaft. My swing speed falls right on the dividing line between reg and stiff. I like the feel of the rdx over the elevate 95 reg flex.I’m surprised the rdx staft brought the swing weight down.

@jmix18 and @bbutler play the RDX in the C721 and might be able to help with questions on that shaft in irons.Any input out there from folks that have put the E721 up against the Mavrik? I have a demo Mavrik 7i right now with the Elevate 95 stiff and like it, but don't love it and it feels like a really heavy swingweight like others noted in their reviews. I was thinking about looking to demo the E721 in the RDX 6.0, but can't seem to find any reviews on that shaft (for irons) out there. I play to a 15 right now and my biggest opportunities are from 160+ out so I'm thinking about 5 or 6 - PW set. I actually play (and love) Scor wedges in 45/50/55 to finish out my set. I'm in i25 irons now with the CFS stiff shaft if there is any comparison for those to the E721 also.
Thanks
I originally went with elevate 95 in reg flex in my c721. Didn’t care for the combo with my swing. I fall right on the swing speed line between reg and stiff. I found the reg shaft and the higher swing weight didn’t really work for me. Tour Edge built me another set with rdx stiff. Much better combo. I don’t find that the rdx plays really stiff. Still requires a nice smooth tempo. For me anyway. Ball flight very nice. I was somewhat scared of the rdx being labeled low launch. It launches very nice for me. Don’t turn your back on the c721 model. I think they could easily be classified as game improvement. Any thing else just ask. Should get more first hand experience with them this weekend.Any input out there from folks that have put the E721 up against the Mavrik?

I’ll check swing weight on a few of this set. Yo get an exact comparison to the set with the elevate 95s.Thank you for the responses here. I'm leaning toward the E721 as the lofts seem to fit my desired set makeup, the price is better, and I would enjoy the additional forgiveness - at distances outside 150 I'm happy with 'close to the green'.
My big concern, that you mentioned also, is the swingweight. With the Marvik I'm testing that has the VSS Elevate Stiff the head just feels so heavy and I could see the E721 feeling the same way. It's interesting that the lighter graphite RDX seems to feel less head heavy. How do you feel the dispersion is on those vs. steel, I've never played graphite iron shafts and don't think my swing speed really needs it, but if I get can better performance I would take it. I hit a high ball already and never have issues holding greens with any iron except my P790 4-iron.
Thanks again!
I'll be keeping an eye on ball flight and tracking distances tomorrow during my round. Anything else that anyone interested might want to see or hear about?
Yes, I will be sure to keep some notes and report back on feel.If its possible to share the feel of the irons? Thank you and hit them straight!
Too kind thank you!Yes, I will be sure to keep some notes and report back on feel.
