First Look: TaylorMade PSi and PSi Tour irons
PSi irons
Let’s start with the obvious; face slots are back. TaylorMade debuted face slots in last year’s RSi 1, RSi 2 and RSi TP irons. According to TaylorMade, the new irons are designed to combine increased ball speed and distance with better looks, sound and feel than their predecessors.
To achieve this with the PSi irons, the company integrated a “Distance Feel System” (DFS), which includes a hybrar blend compression damper. The rubber/hybrar dampener is wedged between the face and cavity of each iron, and works with a multi-material cavity badge to reduce unwanted vibrations at impact.

Compared to the RSi 2 irons, the PSI irons have a more progressive design. The long irons (3-5) are about the same size as the RSi 2 irons, and have a 10-gram tungsten weight in their toe to improve forgiveness and launch conditions. The short irons (8-PW) are considerably smaller than the RSi 2 short irons, and use a two-piece construction that merges a forged hosel/club face with a 431 stainless steel backing. The set also is available with a GW and SW, which are fully forged from 1025 carbon steel.

As the irons increase in number, the blade lengths, top line thicknesses and offset gradually increase.
The PSi irons also have TaylorMade’s new Speed Pocket, which is cut closer to the face of the irons than previous models. It now cuts through the sole and into the undercut of each iron, creating a larger high-speed area on the face that adds consistency to mishits.
The faces of the irons themselves are very thin, measuring less than 2 millimeters, and they have face slots on the perimeter of the grooves on the heel and toe to further preserve ball speeds on off-center strikes.

TaylorMade’s PSi irons (3-PW) will hit retail on Nov. 6 for $1,099 (steel) and $1,199 (graphite), Stock shaft options include KBS Tour C-Taper 105 (X, S and R-Flex) steel shafts or Mitsubishi Rayon Kuro Kage (80/R, 90/S or 100/X) iron graphite shafts. Additional custom shafts will be available.
See what GolfWRX are saying about the PSi irons in the forums.
TaylorMade PSi Tour irons
TaylorMade’s PSi Tour irons are fully forged from 1025 Carbon Steel and have a more compact head shape that better players prefer. Compared to the RSi TP irons, they are significantly more compact at address, more closely resembling TaylorMade’s Tour Preferred MB irons.
Unlike traditional forged blade irons, however, the PSi Forged irons use two types of milled, polymer-filled slots to give the clubs slightly more distance and forgiveness
- Speed Pockets on their soles (3-7)
- Face Slots on the club faces (3-7)
The PSi Tour irons have thinner top lines, less offset and narrower soles than the PSi irons, adding to their workability and trajectory control.
Pricing and shafts
TaylorMade’s PSi Tour irons (3-PW) will be available on Dec. 20 for $1,299, and will come with True Temper Dynamic Gold S300 shafts, as well as other custom shaft options.

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.
At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.
The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.
“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley
In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.
To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.
“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.
Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

Taylor Made actually had an RBZ Hockey Stick. It was white. Pretty sissy colour for a hockey stick.
And yes I spelled colour correctly!

This might be the first time I’ve liked what TM has done. I won’t be trading in my current irons, believe me, but this is actually more practical than I’ve seen out of them.
Apparently they really like the Ping i-series…

Nothing against TM since I play the RBZ Stage 2 driver but, I plan on playing my Cleveland 588 MT’s another year. They are one of the best sets I’ve ever played. With the forged face they are smooth feeling and long when hit flush and still give good distance when hit off center. I can still hit my 7 iron 145-150 yds at 63 with them so, why spend $1200 when I can save that money to play more golf.

there are going to be a lot of people experiencing sticker shock this year in the great white north due to the CDN$ taking a dive which will most likely push people more so then they already do to pick up a set which is a year or two old rather then buy new.

Do the PSI Tour irons have the same lofts as the PSI’s? I would have thought not, but there isn’t a separate page for the tour irons on TM’s site.

I am not ripping on TM, and don’t blame for trying to improve.

So many choices!
But if they are as small and as good as the R7/Tour Preferred series then they should do well

They shouldn’t sell that good, why would you pay $1300 bucks for a set of irons, when they are even better forgings available for $300 less and Miura’s just a little more (I know the general public doesn’t know of them). I wonder if Callaway’s new irons will go up in price as well. Taylormade is going to have a tough year unless they cut prices.

TM ALWAYS cuts prices! I really don’t have anything truly negative to say about TM gear but I feel like every announcementment from them should be from a “but wait…” infomercial.

Like all the other OEMs, the best part is that I never need to buy new again because they say this every year “According to “insert OEM”, the new “insert driver/wood/hybrid/irons/wedge/putter” are designed to combine increased ball speed and distance with better looks, sound and feel than their predecessors.” – so why would I ever buy outdated technology as next year will always be better. I’d rather buy used knowing it is outdated, but cheaper rather new which is going outdated before it is released as they always have years already in the pipeline, ready to go.
