Mr_Theoo Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Taylormade is having their followers help them unveil their next club. In the picture below you see 36 squares, each with a screen name inside. Each of these screen names will post a part of a photo that when put together will show the new club. This is a very creative way to build hype for a new release. What do you think? Is this corny or cool?

hckymeyer Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 It is indeed the R15, if you search the hashtag #buildtheclub on instagram you can see an image that shows part of the R15 logo.

whiskey golf Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Interesting way to reveal a club. It's nice to see them interacting with their fans, at least some I would think. I see big names like Golf Digest, Paula Creamer, etc. so I'm not sure if all those users are Instagram famous or if there are a couple of Average Joes in there that were selected at random, which would be cool.

markb Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I've seen the full sole photos on another blog. (They're still up as of 11:00 PM Sunday, go look.) I would copy and paste it, but it's watermarked and frankly I was so disappointed that I didn't want to bother. Very very disappointing, shark-jumping stuff from Taylormade. It's a white, slightly longer through the head, two sliding weight SLDR. Why do we need two sliding weights? For the same reason that Gillette first sold us razors that had two blades and now five. bag - SunMountain Synch with Ogio Synergy X4 cartdriver - Optiforce 440, Paderson Kevlar Green stiff 46.5"fwoods - Jetspeed, 3HL regularirons - Speedblades 3-8, 85g stiff steel, 2 upwedges - Scor 40, 45, 50, 54, 58putter - Ketsch 35" slight arc, SuperStroke 2.0 mid-slimball - ProV1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markb Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Update: It'll have the 2.0 degree R1 shaft adapter, not a new independent loft/angle adapter. Speeder Evolution 57 gram stock shaft. Very ho hum release. Only upside I can see is that with two weights (which are very far forward) you might be able to help MOI by splitting them to opposite ends. bag - SunMountain Synch with Ogio Synergy X4 cartdriver - Optiforce 440, Paderson Kevlar Green stiff 46.5"fwoods - Jetspeed, 3HL regularirons - Speedblades 3-8, 85g stiff steel, 2 upwedges - Scor 40, 45, 50, 54, 58putter - Ketsch 35" slight arc, SuperStroke 2.0 mid-slimball - ProV1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKid Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Do the adjustments run parallel or do they cross over? It makes me wonder how long before they make a driver that has some secret combination you can use with weights and sliding to unlock an extra achievement.

pughdog Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hi Bones. Yeah, I've been more of a reader than a poster for a while now. Still come back for my regular equipment fix every now and again Life on tour is great. Had a poor season on the Asian Development Tour but saw things turning around a little towards the back end. One more event left to try to scrape a ranking that will avoid going back to first stage of qualifying school again in January. The RSI TP irons look fantastic! I was lucky enough to get my hands on Sergios bag so had a good poke around inside. The face slots really aren't that noticable but obviously they are there to do a job and by all accounts they do help a lot! We had a soft launch for the irons taking advantage of the fact Sergio was sticking around in town after the CIMB Classic. The RSI 1 & 2 went down well with the media and VIPs that were in attendance. I gotta say, Sergio was an absolute gent throughout.
