It’s all very technical.Īt this point you’re probably thinking one of two things. That flex is where the added ball speed comes from, and as we all know by now, more ball speed equals more distance. It’s the Speed Pocket that makes the new irons #freakishlylonger.Īs a nice little side benefit that those of you who play RocketBallz woods or hybrids will appreciate the goo helps keep gunk out of your cavity. That goo (technically a specially formulated polyurethane) helps to dampen vibrations without limiting the pockets ability to flex. TaylorMade RocketBladez & RocketBladez Tour Specsīasically the story of the RocketBladez goes a little something like this: TaylorMade engineers took a cast iron – noticeably smaller than last year’s RocketBallz, I might add, cut a slot in the bottom of it, and filled that slot with molten 3M goo. Man, it ain’t easy being me on a day like this.

Ouch… Time to toss my slotless Miuras, I guess. According to King, the Speed Pocket is a “ once-in-a-lifetime innovation in the iron category”, adding that “ If your iron doesn’t have a Speed Pocket, your iron is out-dated”. The this is the Speed Pocket found on the new RocketBladez iron. In the global webcast that had been hyped (or over-hyped depending on your perspective) for weeks, TaylorMade CEO Mark King stated quite simply, “If you don’t have this, you don’t have this“.
