Picked up a set of these irons on a wim at the PGA Superstore for $79.00. I had no intention of changing irons but for $79 I figured I could hit rocks with them if I didn't like them. I think they were mismarked, definitely my gain. I've been playing Callaway X-14 Pro Series and was extremely happy with them but once I saw the RAC LT's it was love at first sight. I knew nothing about the club and typically search online for reviews for equipment before purchasing but these were probably the best looking clubs I've seen in a while. Overall appearance is fantastic and set up very nicely behind the ball. I was a little leary about the R300 shaft but after my first trip to the range and first 18 holes all hesitation was gone. Great feel & feedback when struck well. Not overly impressed with the Taylormade Grips but will be taking care of that tomorrow. Great Job Taylormade......

I bought this set used at a sale for $250. I like the look of these clubs. Tragectory is good, but it seems like the lofts are very high. For example, the pitching wedge looks like a sand wedge and the 4 iron looks like a 6 iron. Other than that they are very solid clubs. I would recomend these clubs to a golfer who is really looking to improve their game or someone who shoots mid 90s and looking for mid 80s. They are an older model (around 2005) so some people may want an newer irons set, although personally I think these have just as much technology and performance in them than many 2007 or 2008 model irons. If you put a good swing on the golf ball with these clubs they'll fly. Distance, tragectory and accuracy are all very good. I wish these clubs would come with a couple of hybrids but I guess in 2005 they were not quite too popular. In a nutshell these irons are very good and would be a great first set, or upgrade to older irons with minimal technology (I upgraded my Golden Bear irons to these and have never looked back)

I recently got a set of these off ebay. I'm 6'4" and had been playing standard length/lie clubs for 35 years. Finally, I found these on ebay 1.5 inches over standard and 4 degrees upright. It's put my swing on a whole new comfortable plane. I'm making solid contact most of the time. I love the ball flight and how these set up like forged blades. However, I'm pretty sure I'm losing distance. I actually step off my wedges, as Pelz suggests, for three different swings and my shots are 5 to 10 yards shorter than with standard length Yonex Cyberstars I was using previously. Does this make sense? Is anyone else experiencing a loss of distance with LTs?

I recently purchased a set of 2002 RAC LT off ebay. This set came with Rifle 6.0 shafts and my favorite Lampkin Crossline mid-size grips.

I've only used these on the range so far and like them. The irons seem easy to hit and have a lower long iron trajectory than the set I normally use (Mizuno MP-30). It didn't take me long to get used to hitting them as they are a little bit more forgiving than the MP-30s. I can't claim any yardages because I don't know how far the balls went. What I do know is that I'm happy with the irons and hope I serve them well in future rounds.

I had been playing Mizuno MP-37's for several years now but as my playing time has diminished so has my swing consistency. I no longer play enough and needed a set of more forgiving irons but didnt want any big bulky game improvement iron. I have found these irons to be a perfect compromise. I do not believe that they are a Low Trajectory iron as i have lost appx 10 yds per iron and hit the ball significantly higher but am very pleased w/ their performance none the less. Will be getting new grips for these very soon as the standard grips they come with are less than satisfactory.
Overall I would recommend this set of clubs to any mid-low handicapper looking for forgiveness without sacrificing workability and feel. Great Job Taylormade!

I play the RAC LT's with DG R300 shaft for more than two months now and they are fantastic! Blade like appearance and a real forged feeling with lots of forgiveness. Absolute no loss of distance. Really good clubs for mid and lower handicaps. Buy them they won't dissapoint you!

Great irons for mid to low handicappers. I didn't really notice a lower trajectory from my old irons. The insert provided a solid feel when you strike the sweet spot. My only issue is the LT logo fell off a couple of irons (made it look like a cheap design).

Great clubs, look real nice. They went a bit too high and I lost some distance but they were more consistent than my old clubs. I love the feel of these clubs when you hit the ball as well.
