New Drivers 2020

[Deleted member 15344]

Just seen this for the first time

Some nice looking clubs


I’ll be on the look out for a new driver next year as well

 

[Imurg]

Best looking there is the Mizzy...
Mavrik looks odd and the SIM looks deformed and they're both daft names
I hope they look better from the other side

 

[sussexhacker]

Really don’t like the look of the mavrik

 

[chrisd]

I might buy a new driver this year but it'll possibly be a 2019 model

 

[Parsaregood]

Taylormade looks awful IMO, not all that keen on the others in this list either. They all look fairly uninspiring to me, given it's less than a year since the last releases I'm not sure they will be an improvement on any of the previous models. They certainly dont look any better than the older models

 

[inc0gnito]

Mavrik looks like it was designed in the 80’s.

Mizuno is the nicest.

Have promised myself to not buy any new clubs this year, particularly drivers. My last 5 have all performed identically.

 

[fundy]

I really struggle with this, who cares what the sole of the driver looks like? got any pics of them at address?

 

[GG26]

Like the Mizuno best, but I am interested in what Ping bring out to replace the G410.

My normal flight path is a tight little draw, not the modern power fade, because I have a swing on the flat, inside-out side.

With those 460ss drivers, however, I'm all over the place. I often get beautiful lies from which to hit a second shot--from the wrong fairway.
Otherwise, I don't find the ball to hit a second shot--take the walk of shame back to the tee--and hope that I don't terrorize any wildlife with my next effort.

The reason is having to tee my ball too high and play it too far forward in my stance.

That's why I love the TaylorMade Original One 275 cc driver. The drive may not go quite as far, but I can usually find it to hit a second shot.
The clubhead is bigger than that of a fairway metalwood but smaller than that of most drivers. The 13.5º loft is excellent for a senior.

It is not SIM it is MI5 backwards to keep up the M series

I know what you mean but it's the shelf appeal business.
You need to make the soles look good to encourage Joe Public to pick it up and give it a waggle.
Not sure Callaway and TM have hit the right button this time.
Performance will be great but looks......Mmm..

Just what I always think; the only interesting view of any club is from address position.
Who cares what they look like to people standing behind you, or the worms Eye view?

 

[USER1999]

Worms are very discerning customers.

Worms are very discerning customers.

not many of them have a spare monkey to get themselves the latest driver though do they

do you really choose which ones to hit based on what the sole looks like on the shelf? really? just dont get it at all lol

Up to a point.
I cant look down on any of the M drivers due to the 2 tone finish - just does my eyes in.
Some people will be turned away from a club that looks horrible from any angle.
Colour makes a difference too. It's all in the image
Don't forget, the bulk of these will be bought in the States where taste is undoubtedly more questionable than here...
They'll sell buckets of them.

On a different track, it will be interesting to see how TM are going to market theirs
The last one was, after all, pushed to the absolute CT limit. Can they make it faster?

thats my point though, you cant look down on it, ie how it looks at address, nothing to do with the sole

if its gonna hit me more fairways and give me another 10 yards you can write what you want on the bottom, draw in funny colours its totally irrelevant
