TaylorMade Golf – M1 2017 Driver and Spider Tour putter, keys in Dustin Johnson’ WGC victory

March 27, 2017 – Coming into the week with wins in consecutive starts, world Nº1 Dustin Johnson showed no signs of letting up, completing his week with a perfect 7-0 record and capturing the WGC-Dell Match Play Championship for his 5th career WGC title. Fellow TaylorMade Golf stablemate Jon Rahm, who also finished 2nd to Johnson at the WGC-Mexico Championship, once again finished runner-up, continuing his rapid ascent up the Official World Golf Rankings.

Dustin Johnson‘s driver setup hasn’t changed since he first put it into play during his win at the Genesis Open at Riviera. He plays the ’17 M1 460 driver with the Fujikura Speeder Evolution 661 X Tour Spec 2.0, the same he used last year. His actual loft is 11º, which along with his weight settings, allows him to hit his preferred shot shape: the high fade.

An interesting note regarding Dustin Johnson‘s bag lies in his ’17 M1 fairway. It’s cut to a 5 wood length (1″ shorter than standard) and set to 17º of loft. Dustin carries it 280 yards, which is the exact number he’s looking for in his 3 fairway. As you can see at the picture, his weight is set toward toe much like on his M1 driver.

Dustin Johnson‘s wedge setup often changes week to week depending on the conditions. So far this year, he’s gotten comfortable with his TP MB PW along with a 52º & 60º combination in the Milled Grind wedges, which he added to the bag as soon as the Tour truck had them available. He once again played these two lofts throughout the tournament.

Similar to World #3 Jason Day, Dustin Johnson plays the Spider Tour Black putter, which he first put into his bag at last year’s BMW Championship (he won). Dustin Johnson prefers its firmer insert to Jason’s Spider Tour red model. Also notable with the win, Spider becomes the most winning putter model on tour in the last 9 months, starting with Day’s win at THE PLAYERS last year; a truly remarkable feat for the category.

For the company, this was the seventh consecutive week that Spider was the No1 putter model on PGA TOUR. TaylorMade once again won the driver count at the WGC-Dell Match Play Championship with 22 of 64 drivers in play. This was the fifth win this season for the new TP5/TP5x ball, with Johnson having 3 of them. Rahm and Garcia have also won this year with the new ball (Rahm: TP5x, Garcia TP5). Johnson’s win is the 11th win in 14 weeks for TaylorMade’s ’17 M drivers, more than any other manufacturer.

In Dustin Johnson winning bag:

  • Driver: TaylorMade M1 2017 460 (10,5º, Fuji Speeder Evolution 661 X Tour Spec 2.0)
  • Fairway: TaylorMade M1 2017 (17º, Project HZRDUS Black 95 X)
  • Utility: TaylorMade RSi TP UDI #2 (Project X HZRDUS Black 105 X)
  • Iron: TaylorMade Tour Preferred MB 2014 (3-PW, Dynamic Gold X100)
  • Wedges: TaylorMade Milled Grind (52º y 60º, KBS Tour Black 130 X)

  • Footwear: adidas Golf TOUR360 Boost
  • Polo: adidas Golf Climachill tonal stripe
  • Pant: adidas Golf Ultimate 365 Solid
  • Belt: adidas Golf 3-stripes reversible

TaylorMade Golf – The Custom Fit Guarantee 2017 Program guarantees your new clubs on time

March 21, 2017 – TaylorMade Golf has launched its Custom Fit Guarantee 2017 Program, improving and extending its service to authorized dealers in Europe, and therefore to its customers. For the golfer, today’s custom-fitting is one of the basic ways to buy custom-fit clubs and, aware of this, TaylorMade Golf is back on track to support the custom retailers and raise the level of confidence of the player.

Essential!

A new demonstration of their commitment to quality, reliability and compliance on delivery dates ensures players have new custom clubs on the agreed day, and just in time for their next match.

“Here at TaylorMade we have a relentless pursuit of custom excellence,” says Sean Brady, Director of Custom & Brand Experience EMEA at the company’s European headquarters in Basingstoke, England.

“We are developing a three-year vision to become the #1 brand in custom clubs. For this we‘ve invested heavily in people, in machinery and in the quality processes of the assembly line, helping retailers to offer the best club fitting and delivery in the minimum time to their players”.

The orders throughout Europe are centralized in Basingstoke, with four modern assembly chains with improved logistics and distribution, which have enabled them to increase their productive capacity without neglecting the quality control, since they carry out double verification of the specifications of each order (loft, lie, shafts, grips, etc.).

Perfect!

In 2016 TaylorMade Golf already offered the service of fitting irons through its authorized custom retailers, with a guaranteed label. “‘Guaranteed’ means that the technical team of the company agrees to deliver the fitted irons in the minimum time, within the agreed time frame,” adds Sean Brady.

“We are delighted that last year this programme was a complete success, since we full fill the delivery of orders in 99.7% of the irons served on time, with a margin as tight as 4.7 days on average to Europe, and 3.7 days to the UK.”

Spectacular!

The new Custom Fit Guarantee 2017 Program was launched last February 14th and will offer this guarantee until June 30th, 2017. A commitment that was limited to irons in 2016, and this year has been extended to the new drivers and the rest of the metalwoods.

In other words, now you go to the store or to one of the brand’s Demo Days, test the clubs, do the fitting, they take your specs and in 5 to 10 working days, you have them at home ready to go and play. This is an opportunity that players should not miss if they plan to renew their golf bag, taking into account the great news that the TaylorMade Golf offer includes both the M1 and M2 2017 families.

Convenient!

“That’s right, the great news is that in 2017 we are continue to offer our custom guaranty, and that custom retailers can commit to their customers that they will not have to wait more than they should to dispose of their new clubs. And not only for the irons, because in 2017 we include all the new metalwoods in the program”, he continues.

The commitment of TaylorMade irons and metalwoods orders delivery program in Spain (Peninsula) is in a maximum of 10 working days (only 6 or 7 days normally). In addition, if the clubs arrive incorrectly assembled, the company assume the responsibility for the equipment.

Rigorous!

“We are going to work really hard on our stock provision, and we extend the guaranty length of time that we run the guaranty with our best custom partners, with which we want to work intensely in 2017,” concludes Sean Brady.

So do not delay any more and go to your golf store, identified as a TaylorMade Golf dealer, and keep calm. Your custom clubs will be ready, because with this accurate and committed program it is clear that… you won’t miss… nor will they.

Great!

The Golf Group – TaylorMade and PXG join Golf Anti-Counterfeiting Group

February 1, 2017 – The U.S. Golf Manufacturers Anti-Counterfeiting Working Group (The Golf Group) has announced the addition of two members to the growing roster of golf manufacturers joining forces to help stop the spread of counterfeit golf products. TaylorMade Golf and Parsons Xtreme Golf (PXG) join current members Acushnet Company, Callaway Golf – Odyssey Golf, Srixon / Cleveland Golf and XXIO, and PING, to represent 11 of the golf industry’s most popular brands.

“We have made a lot of progress as a group, but there’s still work to do and these two companies help us bring new ammunition to our fight to keep golf real,” said Joe Nauman Executive Vice President for Corporate and Legal for Acushnet Company.

“We are committed to protecting our brands and committed to our customers and we’re excited to have TaylorMade and PXG with us as ambassadors for the group and the game of golf.”

Based in Carlsbad, California (U.S.), TaylorMade Golf was founded in 1979 and has since grown into one of the largest manufacturers of golf clubs and accessories.

“Counterfeit equipment is both damaging to the industry and to the consumers who unknowingly purchase these products,” said Ryan Lauder, TaylorMade Golf spokesperson.

“This is why we’re eager to throw our weight behind the Group, which has done great work educating the golf community and making inroads with law enforcement. We hope to help maintain those relationships and provide a model for all industries to eliminate the spread of illegal counterfeits.”

The Scottsdale-headquartered PXG formed in 2014.

“An important part of our mission is upholding the integrity of our brand and protecting consumers from counterfeit product,” said PXG Founder Bob Parsons. “The Golf Group initiative will enable us to join forces with other major golf equipment manufacturers to help protect the future of the sport.”

The Golf Group has worked with international law enforcement to identify manufacturers of counterfeit golf products, seize their inventory and punish when possible. Through 2016, The Group has helped keep more than two million counterfeit products out of the marketplace. Last year, the group seized more than 10,000 counterfeit products, primarily in China. The criminals responsible for those counterfeit operations were sentenced to a combined eight years of jail time and ordered to pay fines 810,000 RMB (more than $110,000).

To help consumers learn more about counterfeit products and their inherent risks, The Golf Group has published and distributed the “Golf Anti-Counterfeiting Primer” at the 2017 PGA Merchandise Show. The primer contains information and unique graphics to help inform golf club pros and golfers about the risks associated with buying counterfeit products, or buying from unauthorized retailers.

TaylorMade Golf – What’s in the bag of Jon Rahm, winner of Farmers Insurance Open on PGA Tour 2017

January 30, 2017 – The second event of the West Coast swing provided all the drama you’d expect with a field packed with the best players in the world.

TaylorMade Golf – Tiger Woods becomes Tour Staff of the company with a multi-year contract

January 25, 2017 – TaylorMade Golf, maker of the most-played driver on the PGA Tour for 16 years and counting and an industry leader in product innovation and technology, announced today a multi-year contract has been reached with one of the most accomplished athletes in history, Tiger Woods.

Tiger will play TaylorMade’s driver, fairway woods, irons and wedges. The signing is a definitive move by the company that reaffirms its on going commitment to fielding the strongest Tour staff in the industry and putting the highest performing equipment in the hands of the best players in the world.

Tiger’s accolades are well documented since first turning professional in 1996 at the age of 20. The 14-time major championship winner holds countless amateur and professional records on the PGA Tour that place him among the game’s all-time greats and have cemented his legacy as one of the greatest athletes of all time in any sport.

“Throughout my career, I’ve always been meticulous about my equipment. Over the past few months, I’ve had clubs from every brand sent to me to test. When it came to making a final decision, the choice was easy—it all came down to performance, which is why I chose TaylorMade,” says Tiger Woods.

David Abeles, CEO of TaylorMade Golf company, adds: “Our product teams at TaylorMade have a singular focus – to create the best performing golf equipment in the world. We are thrilled that Tiger has chosen to play TaylorMade. His impact on the game of golf is undeniable and we are honoured to have him part of our team.”

Tiger’s history with the brand goes back to his days as the world’s top amateur, when he played TaylorMade metalwoods in his victories at both the 1994 &’95 U.S. Amateur Championships in addition to multiple other junior and professional tournaments on Tour.

The eleven-time PGA Tour Player of the Year will play TaylorMade metalwoods, the M2 driver and fairways, irons and wedges as part of his club contract, with specific product models to be determined at the conclusion of Woods’ and TaylorMade’s extensive testing process.

Further, Tiger will co-create with TaylorMade’s club engineers and have an integral role in the design and development of a new, personalised iron model that will make its debut in Tiger’s bag at a future date to be determined.

TaylorMade Golf – New Milled Grind wedges with precise, repeatable sole & leading edge geometries

January 23, 2017 – Building upon years of working closely with some of the company’s best Tour players, TaylorMade Golf’s new Milled Grind (MG) wedges feature meticulously considered materials, shaping and grinds that cater to the needs of the world’s best wedge players. The new Milled Grind wedge is a refined and finely crafted classic wedge sporting a variety of three high-performance grinds tailored for various playing conditions and player types.

To find the perfect grind geometry, TaylorMade relied on input from Tour players along with extensive iterative testing. Once designed, to produce the wedges to exacting specifications, each leading edge and sole grind is individually CNC milled for unparalleled accuracy and consistency from club to club and grind to grind. This process faithfully reproduces the master design of the surfaces most impactful on the performance of the wedge.

The implementation of machining technology produces high fidelity leading edge symmetry to the score lines, leading edge radiuses, and sole grind geometry, creating a new standard in precision wedge making. A low effective bounce (LB) grind provides the least amount of ground resistance, a standard grind (SB) has a median ground resistance, and a high bounce (HB) grind features a wider sole that offers the most ground resistance.

With lofted wedges, shaping as it relates to leading edge and sole configuration is of particular importance. The shape and thickness of the leading edge must be formed within a narrow range to provide proper versatility from a variety of turf conditions. Likewise the sole geometry, consisting of contour, angle and surface area must be designed and maintained to interact properly with the turf in the desired manner. Different ground and sand conditions also require variations in sole geometries to facilitate play depending on player type.

The new Milled Grind wedges also exhibit a deeper bore and shaft insertion, this year going from 1.0 to 1.5 inches, and visible in the heel of every sole is the precision weight port—a weight relocation feature filled with a soft yet durable red polymer. The deeper bore, while providing an improved shaft connection, also removes weight from the hosel to be relocated into a more centrally located position, which improves the centre of gravity (CG), making the club more solid and more forgiving.

A new and improved groove configuration is also incorporated into the faces of each new wedge. The MG’s new groove geometry features a 38.5 % steeper side walls that reduce launch angle and increase spin rate over previous models. The closer spacing also adds one additional groove on the face. These soft 8620 carbon steel wedges promise to be the most precise, balanced and best feeling wedge that TaylorMade has ever produced.

No wedge offering would be complete without a variety of lofts and sole/bounce selections, and the Milled Grind wedge is no exception. The chart below exhibits a full range including the Low Bounce (LB) grind with a “C” type relieved rear section, the Standard Bounce (SB) grind with a relieved heel section for enhanced open-faced shots, and the High Bounce (HB) grind featuring a wide cambered sole for added sole lift.

  • Availability: At retail on 15th March.
  • MSRP: 179€.
Irons, TaylorMade Golf

TaylorMade Golf – New P770 and P750 Tour Proto forged irons for ultimate players

January 19, 2017 – TaylorMade Golf, the industry leader in iron technology and innovation, announced today the release of P770 & P750 Tour Proto irons, the next advancement in forged players irons, designed specifically with the better player in mind with extensive input from the company’s most notable Tour staffers.

TAYLORMADE P770 IRONS

In P770, engineers endeavoured to deliver a true Tour iron for highly-skilled players while simultaneously providing playability improvements that create a great playing experience for the better player. P770 features a unique forged 1025 carbon steel face/hosel and precision-milled faces and grooves along with 70-gram tungsten back-bar weighting in the mid and long irons (3-7) and a one-piece forged cavity back construction in the short irons (8-AW) for added feel and control. The P770 iron has higher MOI for ball speed consistency, thus more forgiveness, and has a lower center of gravity which creates a higher launch angle than its predecessors. The result is a high performance iron with great sound and feel with improved playability.

While featuring small offsets, thin toplines and shorter blade lengths, engineers were still able to incorporate technologies that improve on consistency, enabling P770 to offer improved launch conditions and forgiveness without sacrificing workability and feel. To do this, the team focused on two primary areas: Lowering CG using tungsten weighting and utilising a unique construction to allow for discretionary weight to be repositioned to the perimeter for maximum forgiveness.

The center of gravity is lowered by developing a shallower face profile, shorter hosel and 70-gram tungsten back/sole component. Engineers also utilised a tapered face thickness profile, whereby the upper portion of the face is thinner for low CG but thickened in the bottom portion near impact for a soft, solid sound and feel.

Beyond CG optimization, the construction of the P770 irons (two-piece) freed up additional discretionary weight for improved perimeter weighting. This is achieved through the undercut and the design of the back bar itself being lighter at the centre than at the heel and toe. The tungsten back piece has weight removed internally to create heel-toe weighting without compromising on the muscular external appearance of the iron.

“We spent countless hours working with our PGA Tour players to develop the most complete players iron we have ever created. Drawing inspiration from some of our most successful irons, P770 challenges the status quo of what a players iron should be”, says Tomo Bystedt, Senior Director of Iron Creation at TaylorMade Golf.

TAYLORMADE P750 TOUR PROTO IRONS

In addition to the P770, TaylorMade also announced the P750 Tour Proto irons, designed with in-depth feedback from the best players in the world. The P750 Tour Proto irons raise the standard by providing superior performance and feel in a design that delivers optimum workability for the best ball strikers.

This true forged blade with shallow cavity, made of 1025 carbon steel, is created using a new, multi-step forging process which culminates with a high tonnage strike, three times more forceful than a standard forged press. This process ensures precise, near-net head shaping requiring minimal hand polishing, resulting in a pure players iron with soft feel. The face and grooves are CNC milled for high precision, as is as the back cavity of the iron. The extra step of milling the cavity ensures that the face thickness, CG position and weight distribution are maintained to the highest standard demanded by the best players.

P750 Tour Proto irons feature a thin topline (thinner than the P770) and minimal offset for a blade-like look preferred by the Tour players. Additionally, the P750 Tour Proto irons incorporate a narrower sole and tighter leading edge for improved turf interaction. Similar to the P770, P750 Tour Proto includes tungsten weighting (5 grams precisely located in the sole) in the 3-7 irons that allow for perfectly positioned CG for optimal trajectory and shot-making.

TAYLORMADE P770 AND P750 TOUR PROTO KEY FACTORS

  • Availability: At retail on 17th March 2017.
  • Shafts: P770 irons will be offered in KBS FLT steel shafts (S & X) with Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 51.5g grips, with additionally, numerous additional custom shaft options are available. P750 irons and will be offered in True Temper’s Dynamic Gold shafts with Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 51.5g grips, with a variety of custom shaft options are also available.
  • RRP: P770, 1.249 € for 7 irons; P750, 1.799 for 7 irons.
