chemclub Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Here's all you need to know. From now on and with your "old face technology" driver you're sunk out in the rough! Play the new TM pretzel-logic driver and your living in the mow baby. You got it? M3M4_TrajectoryChart-BUG_v1_OnLight-02-e1514667852694.png Like I said, that is a pretty effective graphic to tell the story with. The real question we should be asking TM. How come you knew about this heel-toe diagonal strike pattern all this time and haven't addressed it until now? 2 Quote Bag: Bennington Quiet Organizer 9-Lite (link) Cart: 3.5+ Driver: F9 speedback, Accra iWood Woods: Sonartec GS Tour 14*, Fujikura Six S DI: T-MB 2 iron, KBS Tour-V 120 X, Irons: PP-9003SN 4-GW, Nippon 1150GH Stiff Wedges: 1957 K-grind SW, LW, Nippon 1150GH Stiff Putter: EXO Indianapolis (link) Ball: MTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy Barbajo Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Great vid...love how Mark doesn't hide anything and tells it like it is. I barely get the rationale behind not wanting to give Mark product to test. It's a petty and childish reason which is indefensible......but why MGS? They have no exclusive deal with anyone. I'm sure it's out there but what did I miss? Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Long story - had an on-again/off-again relationship before my time. It was on-again until some of Tony's great investigative work on the potential sale - they called MyGolfSpy "perpetually misinformed," which, of course, we weren't. I think our two-part series on the demise of TaylorMade may have put the cap on "irreconcilable differences." 7 Quote What's in the bag: Driver: TSi3 FW Wood: PXG Gen4 2-wood Hybrids: PXG Gen4 18-degree Utility Irons: Staff Model Utilities 18, 21, 24* Irons:; PXG 0211; Pro Combo; FTX Combo;'99 Apex Plus; '99 Apex blades; 2010 VIP irons; VIP 1025 V-Foil MB/CB; Wedges: RTZ ZipCore: Riviera 52-56-60 Putter: Newport Special Select; Willamette, BB8; Buckingham; MATI Monto Ball: Tour B X; Z-STAR XV; Triad Stat Tracker/GPS Watch: Follow @golfspybarbajo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemclub Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 The one thing I don't like about the driver is the move away from white. I assume they change colors so TM and people who buy it can signal that they have the newest driver (like Apple did with the gold and eventually the rose colored iPhones). I just always loved the white and give TM a lot of credit for doing it. 2 Quote Bag: Bennington Quiet Organizer 9-Lite (link) Cart: 3.5+ Driver: F9 speedback, Accra iWood Woods: Sonartec GS Tour 14*, Fujikura Six S DI: T-MB 2 iron, KBS Tour-V 120 X, Irons: PP-9003SN 4-GW, Nippon 1150GH Stiff Wedges: 1957 K-grind SW, LW, Nippon 1150GH Stiff Putter: EXO Indianapolis (link) Ball: MTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cksurfdude Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Wondering out loud - I know TM haven't been overly generous in the past with giving out demo great, but maybe they're undergoing some serious cost-cutting now .. having been acquired by a private equity firm..? 1 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ... ..PXG Gen5 0811XF (PX EvenFlow Riptide CB 50/5.0 or Grafalloy Prolaunch Blue 45/A) ..Callaway Bertha Mini 1.5 (UST ProForce V2-HL 5/F3) ..Callaway Rogue ST Max OS 4H (PX Cypher Black 50/5.0) ..Callaway Big Bertha 5H (Recoil ZT9 460/F3) ..PXG 0211 6i-GW (Mitsubishi MMT 60/A) ..Cleveland CBX2 54 and CBX 60 (Rotex graphite) ..EvnRoll ER5 or MLA XDream (..Edel EAS 4.0 on the bench) ..all in a Datrek bag on an MGI Zip Navigator electric cart.

Bags Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Read this story on the blog this morning. I am very interested in this new technology to see if it actually improves your accuracy and by how much. The article states golfers will get “A TANGIBLE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.†How is this legal? And if it's true the most golfers might try and pick one up. I know I'll hit them this Feb at my fitting and find out for myself. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy not noticeable enough - Im sure it works but a bad swing is a bad swing and avg swing is an avg swing and good swing is a good swing - what I mean sure it will help very little talking 4-8 yards maybe thats robot swings real human swings prob less than that. Bottom line we MUST be almost to the end of this redonkulous driver improvement new fangled this is the cure for all ur driver swing flaw problems -- are we done yet lol. its the 1 club that has the highest price and moves the revenue needle. This has got to be it right?? or does Callaway now up the anti in 2019? crazy but until one of the big companies make a driver that projects to sell lots and it sells little thats when drive war will end - when consumers stop buying latest greatest.

Rekklss Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I agree the idea is to create that competitive advantage. But I feel we are starting to take some of the skill out of the game. Now the USGA must not feel like this is the case. And until we get this out and hit it and get real numbers we will not know. If the grooves really worked I think we would see ping and evnroll on tour. I personally have not tried either one after the spider. But that's another topic. If this works with drivers it's a game changer. 2 or 3 more fairways a round would be better for me than 5-6 yards. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy The grooves in my Ev2 work as claimed.

Sean Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I'm think it's a cool concept, but I think there is still a flaw that scares away from it. What happens if you catch I high toe with a slightly open face. I feel like it would start way to far right with out enough to bring it back online. For me this is my miss that doesn't hurt me, and the miss I have the most.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I hope this is the driver that doesnt sell - I thought about this yesterday- a ton of guys/gals bought epic driver even loyal taylor guys - my thought unless track man numbers are wayyy better these players will not spend another $500 plus on another nee driver. I wish nothing bad for taylormade Im sure its a great club - but this driver nonsense has to stop and the only way this happens is one of the big boy manufacturers project high sells and get low ones and this could be the driver because of the success of epic last yr. we will see Bags 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGoBlue100 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I don't think you would see any difference, The tech doesn't work for on-center or near-center hits. If a pro is hitting it that off center (where ams hit it) he is not getting paid that week and his swing is so off there would be a lot of factors at play in their accuracy. Selling a driver is about telling a story because COR is maxed out by USGA regulations. There are no more distance gains. Jailbreak was a really good story and I think the graphics TM has put together look good, but as MGS stated, accuracy doesn't sell drivers. One has to wonder if the Tour boys are playing M2's painted to look like M3/M4 for just that reason. Don't put it past the mfg's. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 4 Quote "Where'd it go?"
