I purchased the Lt2's in Dec 2005. Unfortunately the Supposed satin finish on the club heads are already peeling.
this after approx. 15 rounds of golf.

I purchased these clubs in Feb of '06 and have really enjoyed playing them. For me, they inspire confidence at address and are quite workable. They feel great, granted when hit flushed, and also provide good feedback. You really know when you've hit one well and when you haven't. I played a set of Cleveland TA 7's prior to these. While those are a good set of sticks in their own right, the LT2's just seem to suit me better. I also prefer the "tour inspired shape" of the LT's rather than the game improvement features of the TA 7 (thick topline, wider sole and a lot of offset) but this is just a personal preference. These irons are a great value as well!

Model Reviewed: Taylor Made LT 2 irons

I had been hitting titeliest DCI black irons until last week when I purchased the LT 2 irons. They are the best irons that I hit while testing every club in the golf shop under $800. When you hit the sweet spot on these irons it feels so sweet and even mis hits travel well. I used to hit a slight fade with my old irons, now I hit a slight draw. I have added 15 yards to each iron, no joke. I was hitting PW around 140 with my titeliest now I am hitting PW 155. That is true for all my irons. I also tested the clevland CG4 irons and they were very similar to these irons, but had a thicker top line. I would go with the LT 2 over them though.

Like many who have written before me - I too have quested for the "perfect" clubs. Obviously skill, experience and talent all have their roles - I can honestly say that these irons have come the closest to the holey grail as I've found. While having been a bogey golfer for much of my Callaway, Titleist, Mizuno and Ping years - the LT2's have keep me no higher than the mid-80's since I purchased them last year. Having sold the regular flex shafted set (too whippy at +1 inch over standard for my height) and purchased the stiff (same extended length) in the stock t-step, I have been rewarded. Trust me - I have considered, tried, and shopped just about every main steam club out there - you have got to at least try these before you spend your hard earned money on anything else, left only to take a loss on ebay. These clubs are long and feel great! And the finish, its like they are made of criptonite - they simply don't scratch (ask anyone who has them - they'll tell you the same). I don't work for TaylorMade, nor do I have any affiliation - I just want those of you (regular good golfers) like me to know how good these clubs really are and tell you that you need to consider the LT2's when making your next club "investment."

Model Reviewed: Taylor Made LT2 Irons - steel stiff flex

I have played two rounds with these irons and already I'm really impressed. I previously had a set of Wilson deep red 2 distance which I found really long and forgiving but I've cut my handicap recently and felt it was time to make the move to a better player iron with a smaller head.

I went for stiff steel shafts as I'd been hitting my regular graphites way too high. The LT2's are a great iron and offer forgiveness as well as workability. I am still hitting the ball high but not as high and my ball striking feels much more consistent. The long irons produce a powerful ball flight(great for windy conditions) and are really forgiving which was a surprise.
The mid to short irons don't travel as far as my wilsons did, I'd say I've lost 5-10 yards on average but they give a really pure strike even on off centre hits and the PW and SW are both great for chipping. I found I could really go close with my short irons and this will give any player the opportunity to cut their handicap.

All in all, while these irons aren't cheap they will always be worth a few quid and more importantly they look well and play even better.

Absolute pure set of irons... I cant say one bad thing about these irons... Feel, moving the ball left or right, consistent ball flight, consistent yardage are all rated A++. I would recommend these sticks for scratch to 12 handicaps.

I recently switched from the RAC OS to the RAC LT2 in order to work the ball better left to right and vice versa. I rented four irons (3, 5, 7, PW) from Golfers Warehouse and played with only those four irons at my local course. I instantly fell in love with these irons as they were nearly as forgiving as the OS but I could work them like no other. My 3 iron was flying 250 yards and in the two rounds I played at my local course I shout 2 over and 3 over, with just those four irons. I would reccomend these irons for the good played looking for extra workability, but the best thing to do is to test them before you buy, obviously. Quite possibly the best iron I have ever hit.

Model Reviewed: Taylormade RAC LT2 3-PW stiff

Hands down, the best irons I've ever hit. They say that they're a swing weight of D2 throughout the set, but I think it's actually a little bit lighter, probobly a D1. Also, most other manufacturers set their 3-9 iron to a certain swing weight and their PW to a heavier weight. Taylormade dosn't do this, which is good to help for a consistant swing feel in a round. I've played every brand name out there, Titliest, Mizuno, Ping, Cleveland, Cobra, and Callaway. All different shaft flexes, all in 3-PW configuration. The stock stiff T metal shafts that come with the RAC LT2's are top of the line. They have a stiffer tip which allows for more control, and I can honestly say, I've never pegged more greens in regulation than I have with these irons. Distance's are about the same as most manufacturers, but lets face it people, a set of irons is not in the long ball competition. Knowing what to hit at the 150 mark is. Knowing if you want to go for the pin in back of the green or in front, wind with you or against is the questions a good set of irons will answer! Snuggle up to these, and you'll find that these are the answer! Suprisingly easy to to hit, and the quality is unmatched. What I did get out of my costly endevours was an angry wife, and defined knowledge of both my swing, and what complimented it. I liked the feel of the Mizuno MP32's, after some bad adivice, I purchased a set with the R flex shafts and my game went LEFT, not just every shot, my entire game!! So now that I know that my swing is more accomidating to the True Temper S flex, I learned that the Callaway uni-flex shafts (2004-2005 model, not the rifle) are nothing but a headache for me personally. X-18's had too much offset for me as well, I mean, feel free to judge for yourself, all these clubs I tried are great clubs, it's very important that you have good fundamentals and knowledge of your game and what equipment will work for you. I stongly suggest to a lot of people, from begginer to scratch, to get the book,Swing Like a Pro from Ralph Mann. I know what your thinking, "great, another person pushing a golf tip book". Seriously, you'll never find the equipment that'll work good for you if you don't define some of your fundamentals. I also know that most trainers will train you by opinion based methods. This book deals in facts, read it from front to back and work with some of the drills when you get the chance.
Anyway, back to the RAC's, I loved everything about these clubs, design, material, shafts, grips, feel, and ball control. All were an A++ and these clubs are now the mainstay of my golf bag. Never would I have even considered Taylormade irons, but after trying them out, I'm convinced that Taylormade is an industry leader in golf equipment. I'm planning on getting THE driver ( R7 425 )so I can see more fairways and give these irons more chances to grab those beautifull G.I.R. 's. If your looking to replace those old irons, or your just considering a new set, look into these and find the flex shafts that work for you. Also, Seriously, get the book, you'll be suprised at what you've been doing wrong all this time.

Not sure, hopefully won't have to find out. Purchased these from Edwinn Watts. Customer service was personable, but top notch!

I really tried to like these irons as I took them to the range about 6 times and played one round with them. The set that I used had DG S300 steel shafts. Although the trajectory is supposed to be medium to low, I found that way too many of my shots were ballooning. Nice feel though. I really liked how the club sets up. Onward with my quest to find a new set of sticks.

Playability: The overall playability of the RAC LT 2 is phenomenal. If you've played with the "Oversized" irons that have plagued the market and your game doesn't appear to be improving, the LT 2's may be your answer. I learned how to play golf with a set of Forged "Pro Dyne" blades. These clubs helped me understand the importance of feel and a good "Golf Swing". Over the years I bounced between numerous Cavity Backed irons (Titleist, Dunlop, Mizuno, Cleveland). I finally happened upon a demo set of TM RAC LT2's at the driving range and immediately fell in love. EVERY club in this set is consistant and incredible. I have that great sense of blade FEEL again in my clubs with the forgiveness of a cavity back iron. That "effortless" feel of a PURE shot comes more frequently with the RAC LT2's and I'm enjoying golf once again. I can't complain about these clubs since I've been shooting in the high 80's for the last 6 years and after having put these in my bag I'm now in the low 80's and get the occasional peek @ the 70's. By all means take a demo set out before making an investment in these clubs.
