TaylorMade Tour Preferred CB Review Thread

Agreed, well said bro.

One-T · Feb 16, 2011

Well well well, I got home this evening from work and walked in the door to find a beautiful brown cardboard box waiting on me and you can only imagine my face. TC was standing there looking at me waiting for a reaction but I was speechless for a second. I didn’t know what to think. So, I grabbed my camera as quickly as possible to snap some pics.

I honestly had no clue which ones I was getting and was happy to see the CB’s inside the box. When I submitted what I wanted I asked for stock standard everything. I wanted to review what most people would get in stores. First impressions starting with the grip….the grips have no alignment aids, they feel just like the tour velvets but they are the TM version and quite frankly they feel great. I am very impressed. The shafts are TT S300 XP’s and I can already tell you I love the weight, they feel perfect with the weight of the forged head, its almost like a perfect match. The head weight is incredible, from the few swings I have taken in my house I can already tell I am going to like the weight of these clubs. They feel fantastic so far.

When I first saw pictures of these irons I was instantly impressed with the looks, but I just want to say that pictures do not do these irons any justice. These things are gorgeous. In pictures I always thought it was going to be a matte chrome, but in person they are a shiny chrome and they look soooo good. I truly can not tell you how good they look. As far as the screw in the back people were always talking about, I have not even noticed it. These clubs just look aggressive and as if they are ready to attack any course. I want to thank THP and TM for this awesome opportunity. So, without further ado here are some pics. Oh but wait my friends….this is One-T so you know I am gonna bring it, so I hope you enjoy the first ever unboxing videos!!

I'm confused. Do you mean "healthy" as in there's too much or what?

I second this. I have the R9 irons in the bag right now, but these look interesting.

Healthy like the perfect amount. When I hear "tour" I think thin top lines, small sweatspots and little offset. Those irons look like a fantastic option for a consistent mid-handicap.

These remind me a lot of the R9's at address. But man, do they look phenomenal in hand.

Thanks Kevin! I thought the videos would be a nice touch.

I can't reiterate how sick these irons are.

Yeah I liked it! I think FLTC needed a smoke with how much the damn thing was shaking lol

9-Iron Man · Feb 16, 2011

These have jumped to the top of the list of irons I want to try at the Outing. They're just to sexy to pass up!

golf4life · Feb 16, 2011

Nice work One-T! I love the CBs, and look forward to you putting them through the paces. They do remind me a lot of the R9s, which are great irons in their own right.

Kmac · Feb 16, 2011

I'll be honest I wasnt too sold on these when I first saw them but after seeing all these pictures in the different threads Im in love. Theyre just gorgeous irons. Cant wait for some feedback. Someone go to the range ASAP.
