Anyone get a chance to hit the new TM Superdeep??

[Golfware]

I was at Haggin today visiting friends, and didn't see it. Just wondering if anyone has had to chance to hit it yet.

 

Comes with the "real" RIP 70 so it should be freaking SWEET!

 

Can't wait!!

[MmmmmmBuddy]

My rep had it in the store a few weeks ago, and would not let me hit it, as it was his only sample.... we should have the club on hand in a matter of days..

[GolfSpy Dave]

If you are still here this coming weekend, the TM reps should have one at the big Haggin Demo day...

Snap pictures please

Speaking of the SuperDeep...

 

We're kicking around the idea of a head to head "Best Driver for the Better Player" type review. The FT-Tour and SuperDeep are obvious choices. So two questions;

 

 

• Would you be interested in such a review?
  
• What other driver(s) should be on the short list?

Love to hear it and read it

Golfsmith had a bunch of these on the rack today. I would have taken pics, but I left the phone in the car. I didn't hit it, but I compared the R9 460, the SuperTri, and the Superdeep and here are my thoughts:

 

The black face makes both the ST and SD look more shut at address. All three heads were in the same setting, but the 460 looked more square/open.

 

The ST head looks much less triangular than the 460. I don't mind the triangular shape at all, but the ST head does look outstanding.

 

I walked away disappointed in the looks of the SD. The head looks "smushed" to me. It might be a combination of the black face and the shape, but it doesn't look right to me. Too small, and not "balanced" IMO.

I just hit the SuperDeep on the range, and I have found my new Gamer. That thing is the BEST driver I have ever hit. Every shot was a carbon copy of the last. repeaters. Long, flat, boring flight, with a little fade. Sign me up. I hate the price, but as soon as we get the fitting components in, I will be placing an order.

Pretty high praise given that you've probably hit everything out there right now. In what ways is it better than the SuperTri?

[jamo]

I am more of a SuperTri fan. I don't like the squished look of the SuperDeep.

[TheLongShot OH-IO]

Hit it yesterday... 600 big ones??? Ill wait but oh man this thing flew and i was in jeans and a hoody, felt a little like the tri, which was what I was going into get fitted and figured I would give the superdeep a whirl, I just don't see the practicality or that much of a difference of it costing this much, but if it may be the best driver out there but ill stick with the tri.

[MmmmmmBuddy]

For me, the SuperTri pales in comparison to the SuperDeep. I really like a deep faced driver, and this one fits the bill. I haven't liked a TM driver since the 360, and that is going back a few years. I told my rep that I was going to order one, and his jaw almost hit the floor in amazement. Can't say enough. TM got it right. Finally.

[lmh3]

I tested it out today, very solid feel. The deeper face is something that suits my eye, I think the depth of the Super Deep is very similar to the 9032 LD head that I am currently playing. I have never been a fan of Aldila shafts, but the RIP feels very solid. All in all, I felt that it is a very good stick for the more aggressive swinging players.

[JohnBarry]

O boy, another expensive driver I have to go hit, long, straight, boring ball flights, that sounds like heaven!

Golfsmith had them on the racks already!? Then they are being bad and jumping the release date....

 

We have them at GG.... but not on the racks yet.... Waiting patiently until TM tells us "okay, put them out"

That's surprising that a big box would violate protocol like that. I've seen such things at local stores because no one knows/cares, but I'm surprised Golfsmith is risking a good relationship by putting the SuperDeep out early. What is the "official" release date?

[JohnBarry]

How could any store keep up with all the release dates for Taylor Made's 11 different driver models?

I don't want to say anything bad on GolfSmith but.................... yea.

 

Official release date I am still unsure of. Must be soon... They're sitting locked up in our office still. Off the top of my head, i'm not quite sure.

[JohnBarry]

Are there any pictures, I actually don't remember seeing any.

Thanks

any time GrandMaster....

[JohnBarry]

Thank you Grandmaster!

I hit one today at a club demo at my local range, actually got to hit the Ping i5, TM SuperDeep and SuperBurner (?), Cleveland, Cobra, and Adams Speedline. The Cobra and the TM Superdeep were my favorites, the SuperDeep has a very nice look at address, its a big 460cc driver but it doesn't look like it.

 

I wasn't convinced to buy, but only because I ordered an Adams SuperHybrid, which should ship next week! so after weeks of waiting on the SkyCaddie SGX now I'm waiting again! I usually don't buy the "newest coolest things" so I don't know what's gotten into me! Too much time on MGS reading about all the cool new toys perhaps?!

 

Hit the new Adams forged cavity backs and blades too, man, they both felt great. The blade is a bit too good for me, but that cavity back was sweet!

[JohnBarry]

I drool over those new Adams irons. What did you think of the Fast 10 driver?

[Tyk]

I like the Fast 10, but for some reason I really seem to notice the long shaft on it, perhaps because its so light? Plus, they only had a 10.5 degree in a stiff shaft. Cobra had a 8.5 degree and I was pounding that thing! (the black and yellow non composite model, didn't care for the composite driver much)

[JohnBarry]

I am very interested in the Cobra Driver also

[MmmmmmBuddy]

SuperDeep to the Golf course for a play test tomorrow!!!! I am very excited!!! Full report to follow.

[Evil_Genius]

Its not worth $600 at retail... it's got a great looking head, and the Aldila RIP 70 shaft is surprisingly stiff. Great for keeping the ball low, and it is a TRUE spin killer. But it's pretty unforgiving, even for a tour-style head.

 

I'm not feeling it, and I really REALLY anticipated this thing coming to market. The REAL cool thing coming from TM is the Superfast TP. With a stock Matrix HD shaft and all black head (like superdeep and supertri) still a lower launching very low spin driver, open face at address... and FORGIVING. Still working the ball great, and I don't worry about the ball going left.

 

GREAT driver. Hit this one before you buy ANY other driver if you've got a lot of clubhead speed. It's a beast.

I hit the SuperFast TP. Yuck and Poo. No driver is worth $600 at retail, but $240 my price might just be doable.
