For over 40 years, TaylorMade has created dozens of golf irons used by tour professionals and everyday golfers alike.
My first set of irons was the TaylorMade RAC OS — first released in 2003. These clubs served me very well, and still perform perfectly over 20 years later!
In this article, you’ll find a comprehensive list of TaylorMade irons by year.
So, let’s get into it!
TaylorMade Irons By Year
TaylorMade launched its first golf iron in 1980 and has since become one of the leading golf club manufacturers in the world.

TaylorMade Irons: 1980-1989
Having immediate success with the innovation of metal drivers in 1979, TaylorMade didn’t hesitate before expanding into other golf clubs the following year.
In 1980, TaylorMade debuted the KVD irons. With a design inspired by golf professional Ken Venturi, the KVD irons marked the beginning of 5 decades of golf irons.
Soon after, the iconic TaylorMade Technician irons were released in 1984. These were the first TaylorMade irons to include a rounded camber sole for better turf interaction, along with a lower center of gravity to help increase launch.
In 1985 and 1986, TaylorMade developed the Tour Preferred F and Iron Cleeks.
Check out the video below by The Vintage Golfer, where he discusses the classic TaylorMade Tour Preferred stainless steel blade irons:
In 1987, TaylorMade dropped the Tour Preferred TD irons. These featured a players iron look, with a hollow club head on the 1 through 4 irons for increased forgiveness.
At this time, the company completed the construction of a new 90,000-square-foot production plant in Carlsbad, giving them the capacity to meet increasing demand as it transitioned from a small startup into a golf manufacturing powerhouse.
TaylorMade Irons: 1990-1999
In the 1990s, TaylorMade experienced explosive growth.
1991 saw the launch of the TaylorMade ICW irons. These were available in two variants: one for the better players (ICW 5), and one for the everyday golfer (ICW 11).
Soon after came the release of the TaylorMade Burner Midsize. The Burner featured a revolutionary foam-filled club head, with refined weight distribution around the edges of the club. This allowed for a larger sweet spot, for added forgiveness.
In 1996, TaylorMade developed the Burner Bubble Oversized irons. Designed with greater offset and a larger club head, these irons allowed for greater workability of ball flights in the mid to short irons, with better forgiveness in the long irons.
The Burner Bubble Tour irons were released alongside the Oversized irons in 1996 and became TaylorMade’s first iron to gain significant adoption on the PGA Tour.
In the final year of the decade, TaylorMade produced both the SuperSteel irons and the FireSole irons. The FireSoles caught on due to the unique multi-material usage — built from titanium along with tungsten sole weights for added forgiveness and launch.
TaylorMade Irons: 2000-2009
Having closed a $1.5 billion deal in 1997, TaylorMade continued its growth into the new millennium with a persistent launch of new golf clubs.
In 2000, they launched the TaylorMade 300 irons. Designed with three different club head sizes for a variety of skill levels, the 300 series featured a cavity-back shape with a progressive center of gravity, offering improved ball flight.
Next, 2002 saw the introduction of RAC technology, starting with the RAC LT irons. RAC, or Relative Amplitude Coefficient, was characterized by ‘feel pockets’ in the back of the club head, designed to improve forgiveness, distance, and feel.
In 2003, TaylorMade released the RAC OS irons. These came with altered weight distribution to increase MOI and further improve feel.
Over the following years, TaylorMade revised the Burner series. This included the larger TaylorMade Burner Plus, along with Tour Burner and Burner 1.0 irons.
Finally, the TaylorMade R9 series was introduced. In short, the traditional R9s were popular with everyday golfers, while the TP version was widely adopted on tour.
TaylorMade Irons: 2010-2019
In 2010, the TaylorMade Burner 2.0 irons were introduced. Intended for the everyday golfer as a game-improvement iron, the Burner 2.0 featured a unique gun-metal finish.
The following year, TaylorMade launched the R11 irons as a replacement for the R9.
Next came the RBZ and RBZ MAX irons — AKA RocketBallz. Despite the strange name, these were certainly a popular iteration for TaylorMade, designed for ultimate distance and pinpoint accuracy. The design drew inspiration from their metal-wood history.
In 2013, TaylorMade released the RocketBladez. These irons proved an even greater hit than the previous year’s version, containing a slot in the sole for added consistency.
Alongside their game improvement lineup, TaylorMade steadily introduced sleek-profiled irons for the better player. The Tour Preferred MB irons proved very popular on tour and were used by Dustin Johnson and Justin Rose for several years after release.
In 2017, TaylorMade launched the P730, P750 Tour Proto, P770, and P790 irons. This stacked release offered a sleek design for a variety of skill levels.
Alongside this, we saw the release of the M-series game improvement irons. Designed with chunkier bodies and thicker toplines, these iterations offered great forgiveness.
In addition, Tiger Woods worked with the brand to release the TaylorMade P7TW irons. Featuring a beautiful, yet unforgiving design — they’re certainly for the better player!
TaylorMade Irons: 2020-Present
Since 2020, TaylorMade has continued to see massive success on the PGA Tour and wider golf space among millions of everyday golfers.
The P790, P7MC, and P770 irons all received design refreshes, continuing the sleek appearance that received plenty of success in the previous iterations.
In 2022, the TaylorMade Stealth irons were released. With lots of forgiveness and a modern and premium look, they’re a great pick for higher handicap players.
The following year, TaylorMade refreshed the P790 irons. This fourth iteration of one of the most popular iron sets of all time retains much of the charm of the original irons while adding some welcome refinements.
In 2024, the Qi irons were introduced. According to TaylorMade, these are “the straightest irons in golf” — with a focus on accuracy rather than distance.
With a cavity back shape and dark accents, the Qi club head design is fairly reminiscent of the previous generation Stealth irons.
Overall, they’re an excellent choice for beginner golfers — as well as those who prefer a bit of forgiveness in their irons.
