RSS Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Looking at getting a new driver and overheard fitters talking about next TS and new G series showing up soon. Does anyone have any news to share? PMookie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfspy_CG2 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Not soon. But both will have new models. Titleist later this year and PING most likely January at the PGA Show if there is one.

Bschrempf Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Just FYI, I believe that Ian Fraser in a live feed today said "yes" on titleist but "no" on Ping. Any idea if Titleist would likely also release new fairway woods? That doesn't seem as automatic as some companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if Titleist would likely also release new fairway woods? That doesn't seem as automatic as some companies. Titleist always releases drivers and fairways together. Titleist is one of the most consistent companies in their releases. The changes have been when they moved hybrids without irons in the 816/716 lineup and when they added ap3 and then last year with the additional TS lines. Pretty much every company has standard releases cycles and release everything at the same time. Outside of PXG or when ping or titleist release an additional model like ts1/4 or when ping did lst mid release I can’t think of a company that has an irregular release.

hckymeyer Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 From listening to Tony talk about the fall releases on the No Putts Given podcast there could still be some questions. There is still 2019 product on the shelves. 2020 product has not sold through at all like people were forecasting due to the global pandemic and most of retail being shut down. If we get a 2nd wave of covid and stores have to close again it's gonna get very interesting to see who discounts product first just to move through it. If current 2020 models from Taylormade and/or Callaway are on shelves with steep discounts it would be a very hard market to launch a new $500+ dollar driver in. I'm guessing as of right now a Titleist launch is still on the books, but with how fast everything has been changing when it comes to Covid it's not out of the realm that we see changes to release cycles for this season.

I had the good fortune of being hosted at the Ping factory back in college (sponsorship) and got to talk with John Solheim himself for a bit (he attended my college and sits on their board). He walked us through their naming processes and it was fascinating. One piece that jumped out at me was when they first started the G line, there was a wondering why they went from G2 to G5. No lie, it has to do with numerology. "3" is the number of the Trinity in Christianity and Solheim himself is an evangelical Christian and "4" is unlucky in many cultures (tetraphobia).

It had to do with the difference between two Greek words, one for new as in brand new and the other for new and improved. I mentioned the G5.
