TESTED:
Left handed TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC Irons
(3-wood, 15-degree loft)
PING TFC 169F Graphite Shaft
INITIAL RESPONSE:
Sporting the same looks of the driver, the Left handed TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC Irons
has a handsome, understated appeal. The stainless-steel, 165cc head, which, hard to believe, is bigger than some of the first iterations of metal drivers, has a smooth, convex crown that makes you feel as though the shaft and neck of the clubhead reach the ground. This creates a great feel at address that's also visually easy to look at.

PERFORMANCE:
The G20's shallow, low-profile clubface produced high, although not as high as we expected, shots that flew straight as an arrow. Shots hit off the heel and toe didn't fly quite as straight and far, but were still manageable. The most telling characteristic of the Left handed TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC Irons
was, again, the propensity for the club to produce right-to-left ballflights. Maybe it was just us that day, but most of our shots flew with a draw. In the ideal situation, we like to hit fairway woods straight or with a little fade, since fades fly higher and land softer, but for the average golfer or even the chronic slicer, these fairway woods are ideal.

EVALUATION:
How the Left handed TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC Irons
perform rests heavily in the right shaft selection. Stock options include a high- or low-launch PING TFC 169F graphite shaft, meaning, in our case, we might have been better off using a higher-launch shaft to get the ball higher and land softer. However, with the right shaft, we suspect the Left handed TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC Irons
will perform exceptionally from both the fairway and off the tee.
