Appearance
For a game improvement taylormade r11, they aren't half bad looking. The oversize heads are reassuringly big without being too large or having too much offset and the nickel chrome-plated stainless steel and pearl finish is very classy. The plastic cavity badge has a milled effect finish and a chevron that echos the ping g15 irons. At address the topline is well balanced and the overall effect is top notch.
Feel
You're never going to get the sort of feeling you expect from blades but the localized silicone shock absorber and the light foam that fills the Velocity Control Chamber in the 3 to 6 irons make these feel better than expected. A solid strike gives you a muted click while miss hits are only a little different with no harsh twisting no matter where on the face you hit the ball.
Conclusion
taylormade r9 irons are great irons for those looking for forgiveness without sacrificing performance. The amount of technology packed in ensures that any swing is flattered. With such a large sweetspot the distance generated on both pure strikes and on miss hits is fantastic and the low taylormade r11 and high MOI ensure a great flight from low to mid swing speeds and that they come in left handed means that not only the righties get to play with them. The long irons are especially forgiving and for those of us who need that extra forgiveness but still want more control than the typical game improvement set these are a rock solid choice. The legions of TaylorMade fans will be more than happy with these as a genuine improvement on the titleist ap2 irons.
