TaylorMade & adidas testing day - UPDATE

[Joff]

I don't know if Paul reads this, but if he does, he should also note, that the 15th is exactly 1 week from my birthday. Just saying And of course the fact my whole bag is Taylormade

 

[Region3]

I would love to know how many people who actually slate Taylormade products all the time on here have entered?

Not guilty on both counts m'lud

I'm about 10 miles from Wentworth.

I have entered though I haven't played Taylormade clubs since the original burner woods and irons came out. I personally think Mizuno irons and Titleist woods are better, and I told GM this, but I am happy to be proved wrong. Not holding my breath to be chosen though.:mmm:

NEither am I mate, I am never that lucky...

TaylorMade are very good at making clubs, My problem is the actual claims they make about there clubs
I can get over the names they call there clubs i only care about the numbers
If i was chosen would be fun to have the chance to see if its just words or if its backed up by numbers

But htat is what I love about Tayllormade is the fact that they give their clubs these names. Makes a lovely change from the usual old boring sterile numbers like most manufacturers use.

not holding my breath either. Get over excited every time a big day is announced then the Gibbs luck kicks in aka no luck.

Quick Q, if this didnt come along would the majority be happy with their clubs anyway & not consider changing? Just a thought

 

[virtuocity]

[G1BB0]

Sound like you have about as much luck as me with these things. I tell you what mate I look forward to buying you a pint at the fitting day, as our luck must change sometime soon..........:cheers:

I think its more about the limited opportunity of having a full professional fitting by the manufacturer throughout the bag that is the most appealing and attractive and if that takes shots off your current handicap and progresses your personal game forward, which is what we all strive for, then its a huge opportunity not to be missed.

When you go to a club pro, as I did, he will almost inevitably be biased to a particular brand, mine is, and as such being new to the game he will only promote the one brand and then match what he believes to be the correct model within that brand. The choice of shafts will be limited to the obvious regular or stiff and off you go.

But as you progress with your game over the next 12-18 months or more, will those same clubs be as well matched and will how they have been fitted at such an early point in your game be now the right loft, lie or even shaft?

My pro kitted me out with K15 woods, draw biased heads to compensate the slice but, after taking lessons elsewhere, my set-up was changed, my address changed and I now no longer slice, so the K15's were diagnosed incorrectly and solely as a band aid.

Dependent on how quickly you have taken to the game, fitting in my experience can be too early for some people as it is inevitable that you will change many things with your set-up, address and swing in those first month/year/s and will possibly then find that your swing has slowed down and you no longer suit a stiff shaft etc.

My large cavity back G20's are forgiving and in general a very good club, although they now look a little "chunky".

Do I think there is more mileage in my game and do I think by changing to clubs that are fitted out completely by a manufacturer to match my now more settled way I go about playing will bring my handicap down, by god yes

Quite possibly will change if I can afford too, I chose my clubs last year mainly because I liked the feel of the grips.

Too late :ears:

 

[Val]

My first purchased new set were TM RAC and had a full TM bag at one point inc wedges and 2 different Rossa putters, my current set up includes TM forged irons and a TM hybrid and all that puts me off their driver is the colour.

People are quick to knock TM but their stuff is decent, they aint a leading manufacturer for nothing.

BTW - i aint entered
