Where do I sign up?
Taylormade : Jetspeed
- Thread starter AyrshireGolfer
- Start date
They did but deferred the I range by several months and every range has an 18-24 month product cycle hence the I 25 due out in February and then the next G incarnation at the back end of the year. Titleist do a similar thing and I cannot see how TM can justify a new product launch every 6-12 months. Are they really revolutionary each time?

If people buy them then they justify launching new products every year.
The demand is obviously there.
No one is forced to buy it so can't see the problem

this, and everyone seems to be ignoring the distributors who actually fuel the model
what I do know, as a 'user' is that every head I've used feels different, and that different heads (anyone's) suit different people - from confidence to compensation. so to me they seem to be doing everyone a favour

Brilliant news for smart consumers.
The Stage 2 range will soon be mega cheap. Even once-a-month golfers will soon be able to justify spending money on Stage One gear as it will be next to nothing.

Soon your latest TM purchase will be out of date by the time you've paid for it and got it home. This may souns silly, but one thing that stopped me buying TM when I got my new irons last week
was that they could be out of date by Christmas.

Does it matter if they are "out of date"
Surely the main thing is the results you get from them
I got my TM irons over 2 and half years ago - I don't count them as out of date and certainly get the results I want from them and do to feel the need to upgrade them

Which makes you wonder how much they actually cost to produce. Mass produced in China, my betting would be around £8

I can't wait to hear Mark Crossfield's thoughts on YouTube!!!!
I am guessing he will say what he always says with TM reviews. That they are good clubs and well worth a look if you are in the market for new clubs. But he will say be a bit sceptical of the marketing claims, and he may well prove again that the speed slot does not actually do anything as he will hit a club by TM with the speed slot and a club by another manufacturer without a speed slot, both with the same loft. And both will go just about the same distance. And they he will say again that the number on the bottom of the club is meaningless but the loft mostly influences how far the club will go.

I have all TM stuff - not because I have to have TM, but because the cost compared to other clubs was so low. I picked up my Burner 2.0 5 wood for £80, which I thought was a bargain. The Rocketballz irons were cheap as there were 1 or 2 newer models out. The only thing in my bag that is a 'current' TM club is the SLDR driver - thanks to GM for that one 
I think it's great that you can get modern clubs cheaper just because they are 'last months' models!!

So soon the "old" adage will read that you're never more than 6 feet from a rat, a former Chelsea manager or a 2nd-hand TaylorMade driver?

I have to be honest and say that I'm always amused by the folk who rant about the latest release and how that affects the re-sale value of their own clubs or makes their own clubs out of date etc. etc. The last time I checked, new golf clubs aren't gas, electricity or petrol i.e. we don't HAVE to buy them!!
But I also have to mention the name. As a grown man in my 40's, I'm not sure I could bring myself to buy a golf club with the name Jetspeed. It's bad enough shaving with a Fusion razor but at least I get to do that in the privacy of my own bathroom and my wife actually does the buying, but pulling out my new driver on the 1st tee and my mate says "new driver Gerry? What is it?", and I have to reply "a TM Jetspeed". I think not!!!

Nothing really, I just though it was interesting to see how much change he has had.

Won the US Open so I'm guessing it's working for him.

Well quite which begs the question does it really make much difference?
Of further interest may be that in 2012 he was 28th in Driving Accuracy and 80th in Driving Distance. In 2013 he was 52nd in Accuracy and 27th in Distance. He's got longer by 6yds on average but misses more fairways. Of course, that could have nothing to do with the clubs.
