Many irons feel harsh and unpleasant at impact, the result of unmanaged vibration. Through diligent study, TaylorMade engineers developed a solution that we call rac (relative amplitude coefficient), a technology that gives us the ability to manage impact vibration to dramatically improve feel.
1. Transfer of Energy
In every type of impact there is a transfer of energy. Drop a rock into a pool of water and watch the energy of the collision ripple outward in all directions from the impact zone.
2. Centre and Off-Centre Impact
Likewise, when impact is made with a golf ball, energy flows in all directions in the clubhead, regardless if impact is with the centre of the clubface or off-centre. That unrestricted energy flow can result in poor feel.
3. The Science Behind rac
TaylorMade’s rac technology manages impact energy so that instead of flowing in all directions within the clubhead, it instead flows only to strategically chosen points. That gives TaylorMade engineers the means to “tune” the feel of our irons to promote the kind of soft-yet-solid impact feel that golfers love.
4. Feel Pockets Promote Unparalleled Feel
rac technology allows TaylorMade engineers to direct impact energy through the use of “Feel Pockets” in the back of the clubhead. Feel Pockets are created to achieve specific shapes and precisely positioned, to achieve optimal feel.

How dramatic is the difference in feel delivered by rac technology? Sergio Garcia felt it and put rac irons in his bag. Among the dozens of other tour pros who’ve also made the switch are 2004 U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen, Darren Clarke, and Hale Irwin.
