That's cool :thup:

Another question.



Can I ask what was the main reason for this change and what you got out of it?

I cracked the bottom plate on the R11

And I got more distance and better dispersion from the R1 ( the RBZ went further but dispersion wasn't as good ) also tried the D3 , Nike Covert and the G25.

The fabled tm build quality then!

Yep great build quality as it's the only damage in any of my TM items in the 4 years I have been playing them.

But yes it immediately points to poor build quality :rolleyes:
 
I haven't read this whole thread but something I heard was that Callaway actually own the technology behind the SLDR and had planned on calling it the slider. Hence the silly name from TM and not actually called it the slider. There is currently a lawsuit between the two companies.

I think this is partially the reasoning behind lefty using the SLDR...the final product was available before Callaway had finished with their own original version of the driver.

That's why the SLDR was released early as opposed to this comin year I reckon
 
Releases do seem to be getting quicker and quicker. I can only assume that it works (backed up by article posted earlier). Therefore I guess lots of OEM will be racing to keep up.

if only I could get my swing to improve as quick...

Why, just because they released the XHot, xhot pro, Razr fit extreme, FT optiforce and now xhot2/xhot2 pro? Surely not !

Yeah sorry there shouldn't really be much outrage over that. Blame Taylor Made for it

No different at all - thankfully I can think for myself and judge each club on its merit and not by any marketing or release hype

As every club in your bag is tm can you honestly say that no other manufactorer can rival any of your 14 clubs? Seems that your tm's marketing dream and you have fallen for their swoddle! I have tm, callaway, ping and titelist in my bag! Why? Because they performed best.

Yep you're nothing but a TM fanboy!! Just like the others on here who sold their souls for a few trinkets:D
 
I play taylormade irons and new sldr. I chose them as they were the best for me when I upgraded this year after being fitted. They will be in my bag for a minimum of at least 3 years and if in 3 years I decide to change/upgrade again then I will go on what's best for me. But my first port of call will be taylormade .

Most of this debate is just going round in circles.
Regardless of the quality of TM products, regardless of who pays to play them or is paid to play them, there is a significant number of people who are being turned off the brand due to their agressive marketing and release policies.
That is a bottom line to this.
Yes there are many who love it and will continue to, but many don't and that is the point that is being put across.

I love tm products but refuse to pay out for a driver that is going to be 50% cheaper in 6 months
. Its not that I cant afford it, it just makes my poo itch!
