Matt Saternus Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 T: Interesting point about the guy who goes last doing best. Are you referring to being the last to release pics and announce, or the last to be on the shelves? Or both? I would totally agree on being last to release pics. As far as being on the shelves, I would want to be right in the heart of the release season. Too late and you miss all the casual guys who are just buying a driver without doing the research and knowing what's out there...and there's LOTS of them.

GolfSpy WD Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Does TM usually release their stuff last? I really don't think it matters to them because they're so good at building up hype. They certainly don't mind taking pre-orders on their irons a month before release. @GolfSpy_WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparnar Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I see the Mach Speed High Speed text on the crown, right by the Swoosh. It certainly looks good from the few pictures we have. I also like the ad, and the way it was shot. I wonder if those red alieny-type images have anything to do with the club? Perhaps the bottom of the club will have something along those lines? Looking at the ad, it seems like those graphics feature prominently. Must be a reason for it...

Please no more alien/robot/futuristic themes. That Transformers-look on the original Machspeed was a total turn-off. But I do agree with Tuna. By the time they release it and all the fitters have it, you are already halfway through the season. A pre-fitting between November and February would be a good idea. People would actually preorder the stuff and hit the course in February.

SPY VIP Tony Covey MGS Posted November 1, 2012 SPY VIP Share Posted November 1, 2012 Another Teaser. This one looks like the leading edge of the sole. My guess is that's a weight port (swing weight, not draw fade), but I could be wrong. MyGolfSpy is only major golf site that refuses advertising from large golf companies.

Matt Saternus Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I like the name...I'll be curious if the market at large likes it or not. Though I guess the name has little to do with it..much more to do with how it's sold. Rocketballz is obviously stupid, but people say it proudly now because it was marketed well. Covert could be badass or it could be lame...ball's in Nike's court. Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Hubbins Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 One possibility - the latest teaser pic that looks a bit like a weight port, could actually be a sensor related to the data collection device patent that made the news earlier this year. http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20120913/BUSINESS/120919604/1005 The world's largest maker of sporting goods obtained a patent Sept. 4 to put data-collecting sensors in golf club heads to improve personalization. In one scenario, the analysis of a swing is shown on a display screen embedded on the back of the club's head. That would make getting fit for golf clubs faster and more precise, the company said.

The launch was originally supposed to be in Manhattan at a studio in Soho. Hurricane Sandy messed that up, and Nike adapted quickly.

Aotearoa_Brad Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 That's cool T, its like a teaser, to get you in the mood for bigger and better things. It's funny how this whole marketing machine works - I'm just reflecting on the fact that prior to this iteration I have never even considered looking at a Nike driver.

I'm really interested in at least the idea of this one though. Thanks for being there for us T! Brad This si definitely an interesting release. Over the last couple of years Nike hasn't been among the biggest buzz builders (lead up hype is really TaylorMade's domain), but Nike has done a good job building a decent amount of hype without going completely over the top. No doubt the will he won't he with Rory didn't hurt. And while Tiger isn't THAT Tiger anymore, he still moves the needle with the best of them. Of course, i happen to believe that Nike makes among the very best drivers in golf, so I'm personally very excited to see what this one is all about. I'll be in break out sessions all day tomorrow with the various product teams, so I should come back with a solid idea of what Nke is all about for 2013.
