Equipment: TaylorMade PSi and PSi Tour irons
TaylorMade have introduced the PSi and PSi Tour irons which offer better players increased ball speed and distance without sacrificing on look, sound and feel.
In designing TaylorMade’s most advanced players irons to date, engineers worked to reduce vibration across the face while retaining incredibly high ball speeds.
Combined with redesigned head geometries, tungsten weighting in the long irons (3-5), and forged short irons (8-SW), TaylorMade say they deliver on their promise of superior sound and feel throughout the set.
The PSi iron features a new Speed Pocket now a cut-thru slot that feeds directly into the cavity undercut.
This aims to yield more effective slot performance resulting in faster ball speeds for shots struck lower on the face.
PSi also utilises Face Slot Technology, a feature that debuted last year with the RSi series of irons. Face slots, located on the heel and toe of the clubface, protect ball speed and generate more consistent distance on shots struck off-centre.
The PSi irons also feature a progressive spec package, ensuring each iron throughout the set delivers optimal performance.
Blade length, top-line thickness and offset increase progressively from the wedges down through the long irons, delivering golfers a confidence-inspiring, aesthetically appealing look at address.
PSi Tour
The PSi Tour iron was designed with input from and engineered for the best players in the world.
Featuring forged 1025 Carbon steel and precision milled face slots and Speed Pocket, PSi Tour features a more compact head size and tour-inspired shaping and workability for the best of ball strikers.
Additionally, PSi Tour has a thinner topline, less offset and narrower sole than the PSi and its progressive CG position allows for higher trajectory in the long irons while retaining optimum workability.
The PSi Tour is expected to be TaylorMade’s number one played iron model on the PGA Tour in 2016.
