GolfSpy_KFT Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 This is probably the first major bag that I do not love from Taylormade. I get the premise of their bag, but I just do not like it at all. The black with neon coloring reminds me more of the Miami Heat (see below) than anything else, and I just think it’s ugly. Too much in your face for me Cobra knocked it out of the park, but I am partial to the red, white and navy blue color combo. Callaway’s bag comes in strong IMO as well, kind of gives me a Captain America vibe.

I believe they had L.A. artist James Haunt design it. They have been crushing the Majors for staff bags this year, in my opinion.

There is nothing Taylor Made did to honor US Open in their design using the Red, White & Blue Colors, which would warrant even wanting to buy their US Open items.

TylorJudd Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 It sounds like Taylormade didn't honour the states. I'd put money down that Taylormade sells a ton of their US Open gear on the sheer fact it's different. My 2 cents Quote I like golf. You should like golf. If life is tough, play more golf!

BKervin Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Not a fan of the TaylorMade at all. It reminds me of the crayon rubbing where the kids use to scratch of the black crayon over painted rainbow is background. Callaway looks alright but reminds me of Converse Star. I do really like the Cobra but I've always been a fan of that color combination! GolfSpy_BEN and EasyPutter 2 Quote B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
