Taylormade Speed Blade

If I were a TM player I would just hang behind the releases with my updates. I'd buy maybe 2 to 3 models old when the prices have dropped to their lowest. That way you'd be getting, pretty much, up to date technology but at a much reduced price, so, it's not such a hit when you move the gear on later.

Exactly! That's me :thup:

Bag full of TM kit a couple models behind at half the price.

The only thing I possibly upgrade is the Driver. Had the Irons two years now and possibly thinking of adding MB's for the 8,9 and PW. Had a hit with the rocketbladz tour and didn't give me anything extra that would justify the spend.

Golf clubs is big business - if the manufactures keep releasing clubs that's prob because they know the demand is there.

Could the manufacturers be fuelling demand by releasing product..?

Just take the TM clubs.
If there's little difference between RocketBaldez and Speedblades, would delaying the new launch of Speedbaldes by 6 months hurt TM sales figures..? If you're in the market for clubs then you're in the market and you'll buy what's available.
If nobody knew about Speedblades then Rocketbladez would still sell well.

Same goes for other brands, as I say it's not just TM.....

Guess what's coming up though - I think it's clear to see why they are being released right now

Couldn't agree more.

I just think it's spiralling out of control
There will be a release of a new set every month within a few years if we keep going at this rate.
Sooner or later a release is going to bomb because not enough people will be able to afford their yearly change anymore...
We must be coming to the limits of what technology can do to golf clubs in terms of improvements, bearing in mind that whatever they do there's still an idiot holding the rubber end......

Can remember that same thing being said a couple years back but they will find something new and improved

I don't think it will get to the stage of one new release a month but every 6 months possibly

What's ironic about all this is you can see what the power of marketing and advertising does.... It has the whole Forum in a debate about them whether their a fan or not.... Then everyone starts talking to there buddies about them.. they start talking to theirs and the cycle continues.....

I'm staying with my Wilson's....:lol:
It just goes to show... They are decent quality,highly functional, and don't break the bank to buy......

I wonder if Wilsonstaff decided to flood the marketvthe way TM and other big OEM's do what the likely outcome would be...... I think my own clubs were released about 5 years ago...

The Ci11's have been out for the past 3 yrs I think and haven't been replaced yet...
But theres one due soon I think......

I need a bag refresh... and am up for new Bladz ... have put it on the Xmas list, but UNLIKELY to get one from HID. More likely to win the lottery or an Ace than get new kit this year..
