Well, buckle up your bomber jacket and salute the fairways, you divot-digging daredevils—TaylorMade’s P·UDI Bomber One Driving Iron has roared onto the course like a caddie piloting a 1940s warbird, and I’m more jazzed than a bunker-raker spotting a flyover at the 19th hole! Priced at $249.99, this limited-edition 1-iron—available at taylormadegolf.com—sports a WWII aircraft aesthetic that’d make my shanks look like precision airstrikes. I’ve been slicing shots since my game was more bogey than birdie, so let’s grip this retro rocket and see if it’s my ticket to low-flying glory—or just a nosedive into the hazard.

The TaylorMade P·UDI Bomber One Driving Iron, priced at $249.99, is available at taylormadegolf.com. A limited-edition version of the P·UDI 17-degree utility iron, it’s rebranded as a 1-iron (versus the standard 2-iron) with a 0.25-inch longer stock shaft and a WWII bomber-inspired cosmetic package, paying homage to 1940s aircraft like the B-17 Flying Fortress. The club features a 4140 high-speed face, known as aircraft-grade steel, paired with a thick-thin back wall construction and 26 grams of tungsten for precise center of gravity placement, delivering mid-low launch and spin for penetrating ball flight. The Sound Stabilization Bar improves audible feedback, while TaylorMade’s Speed Pocket technology enhances face flexibility to maintain ball speed on low strikes.
The Bomber One retains the same construction, mass properties, and performance as the standard P·UDI, designed for skilled players like Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods who favor driving irons for shot-making on tight fairways or long par-3s. Its tour-inspired shaping offers a balanced look at address, ideal for low-handicap golfers with swing speeds above 85 mph. The 17-degree loft and compact profile demand precise ball-striking, making it less forgiving for average players but excellent for stinger shots or controlled trajectories in windy conditions, as noted in testing by GolfWRX.
Social media posts on X highlight the club’s “cool factor” and rapid demand, with some questioning the taste of commemorating WWII-era bombers, given their historical context of dropping 3.4 million tons of ordnance. The club’s collectible appeal drives its exclusivity, with only a limited run available, likely to sell out quickly. Free U.S. shipping applies on orders over $100, with a 30-day return policy for unused items and a one-year warranty per TaylorMade’s policy.
