New Taylormade driver any info

[Khamelion]

No one tell Kraxx, he's had 4 TM (R1, R1 with different shaft, SLDR, R15)drivers this year and 3 putters, even if this gets his ball to travel 6 inches further he'll buy it.

I wouldn't say I don't like it, but if you read the golfworx link they have moved the weight high/back instead of low/forward.

This against the grain of the last 6-8 months marketing

So is white better for driver heads or not?

Really, coz the text I see says ....

The images reveal a two-tone crown design that appears to mix two different materials, presumably titanium and carbon fiber to save weight from the upper, rearward part of the driver head. That would further TaylorMade’s recent design initiative of moving weight lower and more forward in its metal woods to create a higher launch and less spin for more distance

So we have Cobra on one end saying they have achieved a zero CG way way far back and down, and TM even further up and forward than usual!

Any info re: weight adjustability yet? From the side on view it seems similar to the R15 but hard to say without seeing the actual weights.

The TM idea of low and forward is continued ... which will apparently reduce spin (something they don't seem to have changed).
The previous cobra's with the flip weighting seems to be for both markets ... forward for less spin, back for greater forgiveness. I don't think the new cobra king is that much different it's just the change of crown taking weight from up (which I assume the new TM is doing too), and the new weight point on the cobra to get a bit more weight much lower.

Out of interest, when was the last big TM release. It does seem a while back and that this perception of a new model coming out every three months has stopped. If TM are starting to feel the pinch fiscally is this new model a big hurrah to get some popularity and market share back

R15 or Aeroburner at a guess.

Can't say too much, but the word is its a game changer. Was going to buy an r15, but was told by someone very much in the know to wait until this beast comes out........

I'm willing to bet that this will be about as long & forgiving as Ping/Titleist & Callaways latest offerings.
Give or take a few yard.

Barf, however, praise where it is due...at least they kept it in for a couple of months longer than usual - well done TM, such unexpected and welcome restraint. Who knew they had it in them..
