About the TaylorMade rac HT
The rac HT (High Trajectory) was the maximum-launch game-improvement iron of TaylorMade's 2004 rac range, sitting above the rac OS in forgiveness. Generous offset, upright lies and negative bounce in the long irons are built around getting the ball airborne easily, with rac feel technology carried over from the rest of the family. Lofts match the rac OS at 33 degrees in the 7-iron and 45 in the pitching wedge, over a 3-iron to sand wedge range. It was dropped when the 2005 rac line slimmed to the Forged TP, LT and OS. Specs below are the men's standard steel-shaft build; stock shafts were offered in S and R steel and S, R, M and L graphite.

Frequently asked questions
What is the loft of a TaylorMade rac HT 7-iron?
The TaylorMade rac HT 7-iron has a loft of 33 degrees, with a 63-degree lie and a 36.75-inch steel-shaft length.
Why do the rac HT long irons have negative bounce?
TaylorMade published bounce angles of -1.8 to -0.3 degrees for the 3- through 5-irons. The slightly negative bounce keeps the wide-soled, high-launch head from sitting with its leading edge raised, helping clean contact from tight lies.
What is the difference between the rac HT and the rac OS?
Both share the same lofts, with a 33-degree 7-iron, but the HT (High Trajectory) uses an even more offset, higher-launching head design aimed at golfers who struggle to flight the ball, while the OS is the mainstream oversize model of the rac family.
Finding a used set
The TaylorMade rac HT ran from 2004 to 2005 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search eBay, 2nd Swing, Golf Avenue and the PGA Tour Superstore trade-in listings, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.
