New driver (or not) from TM expected?... Expect the unexpected

I hope they bring out the full range (or at least the irons) I could do with a refresh.. I can see how a full set of custom fit will get me down to single figures...

Cue alarm clock goes off and I wake up..
 
Just an opinion. Not helped by buying TM Burner (off the shelf from a reputable store) in R flex and the driver feeling whippy, the 3W like a scaffold pole and the 5W like wet spaghetti. Clearly a large dispersion in their definition of R

i had a TM driver and 3W with regular stock shaft. Both of them were unpredictable. I got them wheni started playing. After i got some of my technique going, the clubs were not working for me. I gave the driver away to another friend who has a much slower swing speed and it works fine for him!!!. The 3W now has a new Matrix Orix stiff shaft..
 
Food you ever try the Motore in the R9, or the Re-Ax in the 09 Tour Burner. They were about as stiff as a piece of wet spaghetti!

The Blur in the R11 was much the same.

I found no issues with any of the shafts in the TM drivers I have owned - seem to do the job for me
 
Well said. There is a huge discrepancy in their firmness (especially in R flex)

I've personally found that the people who struggle with tm stock shafts are the people that put a decent swing speed on the club.

My good friend is a club builder and stocks mainly tm. When he pulls a stock shaft its on the understanding that it might crack.
 
TM stock shafts have been crap for years. One of the things that has put me off for the last few incarnations. That and some heads like the R1 felt terrible

I love my R1. Easily the best driver I have ever owned, and the others have been Pings or Callaways. Took a bit of setting up when I first got it, but it now nearly always hits the ball long (for me) and straight. :)
 
Watching the Deutsche Bank Open.. Jason Day is wearing a R15cap which reads 'Taylor ade' .. so the rumours must be true..
