About the TaylorMade SLDR
The SLDR iron was TaylorMade's attempt at a classic-looking head with the Speed Pocket behind it — a smaller, cleaner shape than the SpeedBlade of the previous year, with a ThruSlot cut in the sole. Lofts sit between the two camps: a 32-degree 7-iron, a degree and a half weaker than the SpeedBlade but stronger than a traditional players set, and the set runs to a 56-degree sand wedge.

Finding a used set
The TaylorMade SLDR ran from 2014 to 2014 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search the used listings on eBay, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.
- 2nd Swing Golf specification table for the TaylorMade SLDR iron set (2ndswing.com) — supplied every lie, length, offset and swing weight above, and every loft except the 8-iron.
- Correction to that table: it lists the 8-iron loft as 26 degrees, which is impossible between a 32-degree 7-iron and a 41-degree 9-iron. thesandtrap.com's SLDR iron review gives the 8-iron as 36 degrees, 63.0 lie, 36.25 inches and 4.5 degrees of bounce, which matches the rest of the chart; 36 degrees is recorded here and the bounce figure is carried across as the one club with a published bounce.
- Note on offset: the source publishes offset in millimetres (4.9 mm down to 1.0 mm), converted to inches here.
- golfshake.com 'TaylorMade launch SLDR Irons' and golfwrx.com 'TaylorMade unveils new SLDR S woods and irons' — the SLDR irons were announced in 2014 and reached retail on 6 June 2014.
- Note: bounce is recorded for the 8-iron only, because that is the only club for which a published figure was found. Confidence is medium given the correction above.
- Status check, 29 September 2026: year_discontinued is 2014. The RSi irons were announced on 15 October 2014, with the RSi 2 replacing the SLDR irons (golfwrx.com).
