evening all
I'm due to do a sit down, 1-2-1 interview with David Abeles, CEO of TaylorMade next week.
anything you'd like me to ask him...
 
What went wrong? How can you produce the best drivers for so many years and yet your brand, and business, isn't coverted within the business environment any more.
 
Have they given up on their myroundpro site now Microsoft seem to have given up with their Band. To be fair their site never really got going and nobody I've seen on the forum got anything back from the site support when course errors were flagged up.
 
Are we likely to see TaylorMade disappear as a brand if Adidas aren't able to sell and with the uncertainty is r+d being adversley affected?
 
Can you give davemc1 the first of your new lovely drivers coming out?
If he seems open to the suggestion, also ask him..., can you fly him over to the states and get Dustin to show him how to use it?

Imagine the publicity....




Go ed, I dare ye :D

Or save on the airfare and let me go instead. I would drive and pay for my own fuel....................................:thup:
 
How much further can you go with adjustable drivers before you start reinventing the wheel?

We had adjustable weights in the R7, added the adjustable loft with the R9, added an adjustable sole plate on the R11, the same but another 2 settings on the sole plate of the R11s, a different sole plate for the R1, dropped the soleplates and weight for a sliding bar in the SLDR, made it 2 sliding bars in the R15, now we have a slider that goes from front to back as well as the slider across the front with a composite crown in the M1.

To me that is the Taylormade driver development, that differed to the other manufacturers, over the last 12 years in a nutshell. I'm a big Taylormade Driver fan and have had the R7 QUAD, R7 SuperQuad, R9, R11s, SLDR and have the R15 3 wood now, so not in the anti Taylormade corner.
 
What's happening to Adams???

Are you stopping the development of these products and just 'utilising' the brand excellent tech in TM products....
 
Has TM now settled into a naming convention of balls? In previous years the premium ball range changed names each year, which ultimately caused much confusion in the consumer. Are you now finally settled on the Tour Preferred (x) naming?
 
Why are you still plugging white drivers to death ? and Has there been any consideration to updating/reengineering the logo and font ? In my own humble opinion it looks a bit dated now and out of sync with your "funky and innovative" hardware .
