Best TaylorMade Golf Irons 2023 for All Types of Players

1. TaylorMade SIM MAX Irons

I may have golfed for the most part of my life but I was a beginner AND high handicapper once and that’s when I realized how helpful the most forgiving golf clubs can be. And this truth continues to intercede even now in my day-to-day “dealings” with golf. So I can tell you the most confidently that highly forgiving TaylorMade SIM MAX is more than just fine.

Apart from handing out such a great deal of forgiveness, these golf irons also boost distance. And I don’t see why anyone, especially high handicappers, can’t achieve distance gains when TaylorMade’s exclusive Speed Bridge and Speed Pocket are a part of the mix. These technologies know how to max out ball speed even if you can’t do that on your own.

In the areas of feel and weight, I’d say that the former, since TaylorMade SIM MAX has a cast-iron construction, is smooth, clean, and also quiet without those unwanted vibrations at impact.

And in terms of weight, you can actually choose between lightweight graphite and heavy steel. Although graphite is a more fitting choice if you’re a beginner and/or high handicapper. Believe me, no one can deny that these are great irons!

2. TaylorMade Golf P790 Iron Set

Let’s get into the specifications of this one right away because they’re the most useful tools to judge how great the TaylorMade P790 Iron Set really is. Firstly, these golf irons, with their forged hollow construction, are injected with TaylorMade’s game-changing Speed Foam technology, along with tungsten weighting that also promotes higher forgiveness.

The compact clubhead is also a very good indicator of how TaylorMade P790 is all about forgiveness and distance. Thanks to Speed Pocket of course. And then there’s Speed Foam that dampens vibrations as well for giving you that perfect feel and sound before your shot goes straight and long (and this happens on a consistent basis indeed).

You can choose the shaft material and flex of your choice. Even the configuration of the iron set can be selected based on your personal needs and preferences.

3. TaylorMade Golf M6 Iron

I know what it’s like to be hitting iron shots with TaylorMade M6. The level of control and the highly contented feel you get with this TaylorMade iron is unmatched by any of their other creations. M6 is also quite popular because of the inclusion of Speed Bridge, hence a more well-received game improvement iron.

With Speed Bridge, TaylorMade gives you the chance to unlock the speed and distance you desire. In fact, this particular technology also reduces vibrations for an even more satisfying feel. And these unwanted vibrations are further minimized with the help of HYBRAR (this is an advanced compression damper). In short, the feel is soft and solid throughout.

And what about those common low-face strikes you might be guilty of producing? Mis-hits shouldn’t be a concern AT ALL because of the fluted hosel as well as a 360-degree undercut. Together, they bring the Center of Gravity lower for increasing the launch angle. And with a higher launch, ball speed and distance are sure to receive some encouragement too.

4. TaylorMade M4 Iron Set

Just because I’m now a professional, experienced golfer doesn’t mean I refuse to acknowledge when golf clubs are super-expensive. But then keep in mind that you’re paying this exorbitant price for everything nice in the case of TaylorMade M4. The best part about it is that these golf irons appeal the most to mid-handicap golfers.

Most suitable for mid-handicappers means the perfect combination of everything – distance, forgiveness, control, and feel. It’s the RIBCOR component that makes it all possible. Many things are made possible with RIBCOR actually, such as more energy transfer to the golf ball for more accuracy and distance and an upgraded feel and sound.

RIBCOR also produces tighter shot dispersion. So it’s alright now even if you miss your irons shots both right, left, or across the board, more consistency is sure to become a part of the M4 experience. But with a more traditional feel and look of course!

5. TaylorMade SIM 2 MAX OS Iron Set

Golfers who need a significant amount of assistance from their equipment, in this case their golf irons, should choose TaylorMade SIM 2 MAX OS. You could be a senior golfer, for example, and still not have any complaints. And that’s because SIM 2 MAX OS are much easier to hit for distance gains. This applies to mis-hits also by the way that also travel straighter along with longer.

The feel is crisp and soft, which is all due to TaylorMade’s polymer blend ECHO Damping System that hands out the forged-iron-like feel.

To be honest, you don’t really need a professional golfer to point out that a golf iron built with a more forgiving, faster clubface and an oversized clubhead is inevitably going to maximize distance and elevate your performance. Something that you might need the most if you happen to be a senior golfer lacking in strength and speed!

6. TaylorMade Golf M2 Iron Set

I could go on and on about how TaylorMade M2 is the best for golfers with a swing speed under average. And I say this because of how flexible the clubface is just to make your mis-hits feel less punished. More forgiveness is such an organic part of the experience because of the brand’s phenomenal Speed Pocket technology.

Traditional, classy aesthetics – shallow blade height and thin topline for a more compact appearance. I would like to add that this type of composition surely knows how to make TaylorMade M2 stand out from the rest of the brand’s golf iron line-up.

The ability here to achieve a decent level of ball speed and launch angle is why M2 is often chosen by average players as well. But then average players should NOT expect much in terms of control, despite this being a bladed iron.

Nevertheless, the updated features, like the thinner leading edge and shallower design, are what make TaylorMade M2 such a fantastic golf club. And that never goes unnoticed or under-appreciated!

7. TaylorMade SIM MAX OS Irons

There did come a time in my life too when I seriously considered switching to TaylorMade SIM MAX OS Irons. So believe me when I say that a huge difference will make its presence felt.

The oversized sweet spot on the clubface should and does help with keeping your iron shots in that fairway with a distance gain of extra 15-20 yards easily. And no need to swing fast and hard to get there either!

Even the task of shaping your shots is something that happens with minimal effort. With TaylorMade’s Progressive Inverted Cone Technology, you can make the golf ball travel straighter with more consistency. It’s the very feature that places into your hands ultimate control.

Rest all remains the same, as you can predict at this point. Such as Speed Bridge for greater ball speed, ECHO damper for a vibration-free feel, and low CG for a higher ball flight.

8. TaylorMade Golf 2018 MCGB Men’s Iron Set

TaylorMade 2018 MCGB Irons are the best game improvement irons OF ALL TIME. And this is coming from someone who’s been a Callaway guy his whole life. I don’t use the word ‘best’ fast and loose, which means that whenever I do happen to use it, I genuinely mean serious improvement and playability.

With mis-hits being more accepted, there’s no denying that these irons are much easier to hit. Oh, and did you know that CGB actually stands for Center of Gravity Back?

The older version of this was TaylorMade R7 CGB, so this one’s the upgraded model with a larger clubhead for letting you make mistakes when whacking the ball while also not punishing or exaggerating those common mistakes (low-face or off-center shots).

With a larger clubhead size, you can boost ball speed and overall performance despite missing the “sweet spot.” The whole set, from my viewpoint, is quite unique because of the incorporation of Face Slots and Speed Pocket. In fact, Speed Pocket is a part of the wedges of the set too for optimal ball speed.
