Personally I do not like the Tri-angle look of the head. I'm a traditionalist. I can't seem to get past that crazy elongated head!

That honeycomb weave on the crown - by the way, is that a carbon crown? - could be potentially "dizzying" to look at during set-up.

 

It's not a carbon crown. Just graphics. And that driver is HUGE. Yuck...

 

I'm still wishing that TM would have release a 460cc version of the 510TP. Maybe that's the Superdeep. That's the driver I'm waiting for to check out.

Current bag: Some Callaway, some Cleveland. Down to 2 OEM's!

The all black look is always welcome in my book, this is definitely something they should release in the US.

Do you think that it would sell better than the standard version? Does the consumer looking for a standard burner need two color choices?

If this is the TP version for the US then the second color is a great way to tell them apart. That would help the consumer.

Two different colors of the same driver would be confusing.

So when will they release the Superfast TP Black and the Superfast Trio TP and the Superfast MAX and the Superfast Deep Face and the Superfast super Tri TP etc...

 

TM is starting to disgust me. They make one driver then start changing the paint jobs on it and giving it different names with increased prices. And people still buy into that.

They don't need 2 color choices, but maybe just the black one. Maybe it's just be, but I love black drivers. Especially my Superquad.

So they should stop selling the one that is already at market? The one with millions of dollars worth of adds backing it up?

I understand your affinity for your driver, but how can TM really do what you are saying?

 

I expect the TP model to be black in the US, anyway.

People like choices... Taylormade is like Sawyer off of league of extraordinary Gentlemen. American style of shooting. Spray and pray haha. Flood the market and you will eventually find a hit. Unlike Ping or Titleist who put out few drivers and there are a lot of great hits still..

I don't mean now, I meant before they released the first one.

2007 Burner is a classic, well loved driver. It didn't have to come in all colors of the rainbow to sell.

Red=mens

Blue=womens

Tp had a TP badge, but still red.

The color is a psychological thing IMHO...

 

 

Red

The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is also the color of love. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. Since it is an extreme color, red clothing might not help people in negotiations or confrontations. Red cars are popular targets for thieves. In decorating, red is usually used as an accent. Decorators say that red furniture should be perfect since it will attract attention.

The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Sports teams sometimes paint the locker rooms used by opposing teams bright pink so their opponents will lose energy.

 

Blue

The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. It causes the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Blue can also be cold and depressing. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. People are more productive in blue rooms. Studies show weightlifters are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms.

OK... So we should have multiple colors of drivers? I am not totally sure how discussing the psychology of color feeds into the current discussion of offering a driver with multiple color options. :huh:

I am sorry if my follow up somehow offended you, but if you look at the above post, I asked about two drivers of the same model having the same color.

I apologize if this was unclear to you.

Red is an extreme intense color. Guys like this. Blue is tranquil and calm. Girls like this. Therefore TM used these colors to not only separate 2 different models, but to induce emotions. Speaking of color psychology, I have a pink grip on my Byron because pink is a calming color. I like to feel calm over putts.

Ok I get what you are saying now. I confused the issue by adding the mens/womens clubs. What I was saying do we need multiple colors for the mens version? I was trying to point out that the only color choices that were present in that successful line were based upon gender lines.

 

Resetting then: Are multiple color choices necessary for a single model for a single gender of the same level (ie. TP or non-Tp is 1 level)

Well, how about the new burner that is being discussed in this thread. Before our miscommunication, the idea was would it confuse the market to have the version of the burner that is on the shelf now and an identical spec black version on the shelf at the same time. No difference other than the colors.

I actually researched this for a graphic design project. White is cleanliness. :)
