TaylorMade RBZ RocketBallz Irons 

I've been using them since 2013... 6 years of awesome golfing. It's time for me to upgrade myself with some blades. Thanks Mark!

I still play with these and have a 7 handicap. I don't think upgrading my clubs will make much a difference, maybe fitted clubs, but in 2024 I'm still happy with my rbz irons and RBZ driver. M4 3-wood.

I do believe the RBZ are a game improvement (GI) set, which would gain the user extra yards on their shots, maybe why it feels different to someone more experienced, but for someone like myself who's only played 20-30 rounds it's probably a good confidence booster, if nothing else. Us newer or less-practiced golfers may not always choose the right club for our distance or swing the right speed for a club, so the forgiveness of these irons is likely welcome. I think if that is their intended purpose they did quite well, as most amateur or newer golfers' main goal is to gain a slightly better score than their previous game. If that is what happens with these clubs, then bravo to Taylormade for catering to all segments of players.

Thanks for this vid....just picked up a set of RBZ's at Sports Authority close-out sale, so I got a pretty good deal. At my stage of the game (56 years old, mid to high handicapper), this set seemed like a good fit. I was right. Prior to this set, I'd been playing with quite literally my grandfather's set (Titleist AC-108), which I love (still carry the PW from that set), but the RBZ's are very forgiving, and since I tend to launch the ball pretty high, I'm happy with the fact that the 4 iron is spec'd closer to a 3, and so on....I've also taken to hitting a harder, less spinney ball, and that has helped too. Nice to know that the irons feel decent in the hands of a pro....

I was already breaking 90 most times I played with an assortment of old 15 year old irons(Dynamo, LVS). I also Already had the Rocketballz Driver from last year and so I figured let me try these irons as well; they were only 150 bucks at Play it Again Sports. I instantly went from high 80's low 90's to mid 80's to high 80's and even shot an 82 and an 84 the last two times I played. Amazing to me was the impact that the technology of these irons has over those old irons in terms of feel, distance and also soft spot on the club.. I would recommend these to anyone with a mid to high handicap or someone who shoots 85 to 90. I bet that they would really notice a difference if you are using older irons like I was.

Mark, thank you for the video! Highly recommend these clubs! Have 6-SW iron set, including approach wedge with 50 degrees (as sandwedge has 55 loft and pitchwedge 45). 6 iron has the same distance as my old 5 iron. All the balls jump from the club face. Unbelievable!! All the shots are stright, high and long!! I also have RBZ driver (HL), 5wood (19) and rescue (25). All are very forgiving!! For sure, my hdc will get lower very soon!!

nice to hear an honest opinion and not one that Taylor Made paid for. I really respect your honesty.

I like it. Your comments make me curious to the other irons in the set.

I just got the set. And all the hype and marketing aside, these feel great. Had a great game and was very consistent. Love them.

i used these irons for a round of golf. i immediately could feel a difference. They improve your game loads and as a result they made me shoot my best round to date! 10 shots under my handicap!

nice and informative, I bought a set getting into the sport. I bought them thinking they were a good overall club, and could continue to use them as my skills got better.I have been to the driving range now for the past three days trying to get my swing down and still haven't hit a single good shot with the fairway woods but the iron are good.

Very nice irons use the 4,5,&6(lofts of 20,23,26) from this set forgiving and easy to get up. Basically as my my 3,4,5 iron and mixed and match with my titelist 775cb 6,7,8,9,pw,aw.

Great video! Thanks! I thing I'll be getting these irons.

Well I've played for the past 5 years with callaway big bertha04 irons(10 handicap), went for an independent fitting, tried quite a few clubs ,mizuno jpx800,Calloway razr, Wilson di11, Cleveland cg16 and the rocketballz. The rocketballz came on top, could hit them longer and straighter than all the others and with the stiff shaft the shot dispersion was a lot tighter. For the price they were perfect for my swing.all I suggest is get custom fitted!

Thanks! I'm getting them this week! :)

Got them today... Although I got them from American Golf and they are a chrome finish rather than the grey... They look lovely... they hit lovely... I really like them! Although I would say that since I've just paid £300 for them! Outting is next Sunday, I'll report back on my performance with them.

This was my first “real” set of clubs they have been pushed out of the bag but they still live in a spare golf bag in the basement . I’m going to put them back in the bag for a round this weekend see if they still got the pop

I hit a few balls with the 6 and the 4 down at the range and loved the feel. I realise the 6 is playing more like a 5, but I got 185 with it 10 balls in a row, all straight and consistent. That's amazing for me. :)

I love mine!....nice looking,nice feel and with my game the launch is what I would call medium!...all in all a decent set of clubs!

I also use a soft ball/ was using nike PD soft but made the switch to TaylorMade AeroBurner Soft balls. I tried using harder balls like nike crush extreme or even the god send ball the PRO V1, but they just feel like rocks to me with little control around the green

yeah they're great for me and I'm 14. they do go a lot farther than my old ones i recommend these very much.

best club ever...... can u do a video on the rblades

Im going to buy them in 2 weeks!

Nice Vid. Good and honest review.

@KZN7 you can find these irons for $339.99- $499.99 for a beginner I would use something more like the burners if you like taylormade, they are game improvement clubs that offer alot of help no matter what shot. Good luck and enjoy your golfing

love the irons, I get about 20~30 yards more with them.

Also don't worry about the look or the name of the rocketballa, hit the club and then judge them! I fell in love with the look of the Wilson ci11 black irons so brought some of the shelf, couldn't hit them for toffee. Probably not suited to the shaft rather than the club itself. Ended up selling them for a big loss on Ebay, but like I said on the other comment get a fitting! Especially if you 6ft 4 like myself.

i have a handi cap of 18 , i have quite a big hit, would you recomend these irons if i want to decrease my hcap, im 15 yrs old

Bloody good Info as usual

hi mark i just got 4-SW they are amazing ,but do you think i should take a 7 iron on a regular 6 irons shot and an 8 for a 7 iron shot and so on

Hi Mark, I am trying to get a little more backspin on mid iron shots so I can get closer to the pin for a better chance at birdie or whatever I may be going for. Any advice on how I could do that?

This totally makes sense, i tee'd up for a 165 yard par 3 with my seven and hit it over the green by quite a bit. I couldn't believe it haha, i though it was the magic shot. That is until i came home and pulled up this video to find the 7 hits long... still cool to bust your friends butts you can out hit their 7 any day :)

Would you recommend the RBZ irons or the burner plus irons?

Are these irons forgiving? What handicap should use these?

I'm torn between these and the Burner 2.0. Mark's review of the Burner 2.0's had less "if's, but's and maybe's" than this review. So I'm not sure. RBZ's are £50 dearer than the Burners, but Burners are 3 years old now. Any advice?

I am thinking on getting new irons what are better cobra amp or rocketblades

I recently purchased these and Mark is correct. They average a half inch longer and 2 degrees stronger than my previous 2012 Mizuno JP825 irons except for the 9-GW which were exactly the same. Being 6'4" I needed that little extra length on most of the clubs. Forgiveness is a little better on the Taylormades, too.

Hey Mark, could you please demo the Honma Beres S-01 Driver Stiff Flex

the graphite shafts have less vibration so they are more for older players. While most other players use steel shafts because they have better feel and more control

Hi mark just wondering what ipod app you would recommend, im thinking of buying the pro v1 app or the iswing app but that iswing app only records for 3 seconds i believe ? :) what you think ?

I am looking at buying some Taylor burner 2.0 irons but don't know whether or not to get graphite or steel shafts. Can someone please tell me which ones I should get.

are these clubs good for a 15 handicapper?

how come we don't see you review any of callaway's irons?

Don't think I'll be changing my outstanding Mizuno MX200 for these!!!

I picked up a set of Burner 2.0 irons at Edwin Watts not too long ago, when TaylorMade put out their RBZ irons, I thought that they looked just like the 2.0 irons I had. I tested out the RBZ irons, literally no difference, in feel or distance. They'll even say on their website that the difference in the 6 iron distance is maybe 3 yards. The 2.0 set was on clearance for $350. So if you want to save money, go with the Burners, if you want the name and want to spend an extra $400, go with RBZ.

I know the distance claims ate bogus as Taylormade takes a 6-iron and puts a 7 stamping on the sole, but then again credit must be given to them for making a 6-iron as easy to hit as a 7! Psychologically we all feel more confident hitting our shorter irons so it helps.

Please do a vonex vms irons review! PLEASE!

The video is a couple of days old now. So when do Rocketballz II come out??

what is the difference?

You should do R11 vs RBZ irons!!

@MiniBlueDragon what is the 2015 taylormade nuclear face

hope it's better than their burner 2.0 irons, i had them for a week, one of the most awful feeling and sounding irons i've ever hit

Review RBZ max too

I'm looking forward to 2015's TaylorMade "NuclearFace" 20 degree 6 iron. Booyah!

Love the girls shouting the name! :) LOL

What is the difference between the HL and HP models of these irons?

Only issue with these clubs, is the durability. Don't get me wrong, in 2016 these irons are a bang for your buck if you can get them, however they do go through the wear and tear factor more quickly. Also rusts easy to be sure to keep them clean and dry.

whats the point of changing the lofts to mk the player feel better n think they hit it a mile

Because TaylorMade are marketing geniuses, and they understood that Rocketballz will be so bizarre and different that it will get people talking, just like we are doing now. "There's no such thing as bad publicity" and it's true with TM and RBZ, it's a name that sticks in the mind easier than Di11 or CG16 or MP-53 etc.

If you have the money and are happy to spend it, the RBZ would be great. But if you are more budget minded, the Burners are still a great club, and in isolation you'll never know the difference as you won't be hitting back to back. Plus with the money you save, you can buy other clubs, get some lessons, golf shoes, different types of balls to try etc etc.

I love my burner 2.0 but I get what you saying preparation sucks. But the product is great just let the TM clubs do what it does which 99 % time is great

A true test of the RBZ distance would be to test it against another club with the same specs. See if the face technology actually works.

@neova2 that credit goes to cobra years ago. as they started all this "strong loft" business.

they the same as the 2.0s but just a different design on the back of the face

@AndreasS187 i concur...i just bought a set of their tour preferred cbs...although the irons i bought are great, if taylormade continues with this over hyped marketing i will honestly not consider them for anymore of my irons

...zed?

Yes, zed. Zee is USA only I believe. Countries brought up on British English will say zed. Anyone know of any other countries that say zee outside of the USA?

i was shocked that the 6 iron in this set is the same as my cb forged 5 iron...thats just absolutely rediculous

@ChuugyGolf Brits and several other countries pronounced the letter "Z" as "zed."

@ChuugyGolf lol im calm man im calm haha

@mcgroogtube calm down! i have lots of respect to people and im not used to hearing them say it that way. calm down

go chec the price.. the rocketbladez are more expensive and much better to hit!! : )

@ChuugyGolf are u guys not taught that other places its pronounced different, just like colour and colour, its spelt different in different places, here in Canada we are actually taught about others than just are selves.

Rocketbladez vs AP1 IRONS

I'm 16 and my handicap was 18 and now with rbz irons it is 10

I have the burner 2.0 irons i tryed ou d ''''RBZ''' out they feel so stupid off the face i nearly laugh b4 i hit a shot wiv d RBZ thinkin of their name! :P

I want my 6 iron to be a 6iron and my 7 to be a 7 thank you very much taylormade! Lol

Why does he say RBZ-ed

nike vr combos

Marketing junk aside, and let me say now I hate the jacked up lofts on modern GI/SGI clubs - why would you ignore TM as a manufacturer? They make solid products that work well, if not as magically as marketing would have us believe. Why ignore them completely when shopping for gear? It's not like the clubs themselves feel or perform like rubbish. p.s. I use Wilson, Cobra, Cleveland, Callaway and Odyssey so I'm no TM fanboy.

This one goes to Eleven

R.B.ZED XD

15 second ad sucks!

i hate taylor mades advertising campaign. horrible. i like the burner 2.0

haha GOT IT

@k1m0k1m lol Taylomade and their advertisements... its a turn off for me..

rocketballzzzZZZZZZZZ lol

Americans I kindergarten can pronounce "z" whereas Brits who think Americans are stupid say "zed" wow

Who is the marketing genius who thought it was OK to sell something called "RocketBallz" to golfers? It sounds more like a track ball toy sold to 8 year-olds

@russutt lool wtf, mad bud?, im only 17 so i geuss its fine if you know more about the world lol, i dont know how you got the face that i think im better than "u guys" out 9of my comment.

I dont. I believe people are uneducated to think people are stupid for saying "Z'ed" Instead of Zee.

why does taylormade have to be so gimicky?

Yuck. Gimmicky. TMAG.

Taylor made irons are garbage

re-branded Burners.... nothing more and luring you into a false sense of true distance

@mcgroogtube Oh look, another brit/Canadian thinking they are better than Americans because they think are more "cultured" I probably know more about the world than you and I'm only eighteen, so quit it with the stereotypes. And yes, we do learn about other countries, but learning how to pronounce letters the english way isn't exactly significant when compared to learning other things such as learning about the EU or why China is communist.

It's quite nice? That thing looks like shit.

Taylormade started to launch bad quality clubs after the R9 series. The driver and woods looks lousy and the iron, wedges and putter are not impressive (or even abysmal). It name #1 driver will soon be replaced. Trust me.

Why does he say RBZ-ed
