Category: TaylorMade Golf
TaylorMade Golf was founded in 1979 by Gary Adams, a golf entrepreneur who also started Founders Club and McHenry Metals. While working as a salesman for Witteck Golf, Adams noticed that the new two piece balls performed better on irons than on true woods. This led him to develop the Taylor-Made metal wood. The Taylor-Made driver quickly caught on and Taylor-Made has been a leader in hollow metal woods ever since.
Adams received the PGA of America's highest honor, the Ernie Sabayrac Award, in 1995for lifetime contributions to the industry. He died of cancer in 2000.
The company he founded, however, lives on as TaylorMade-Adidas golf. Today, with its movable weight technology, TaylorMade's drivers, hybrids and fairway woods are used by more professionals than any other brand.
TaylorMade Ultimate Cart Bag
The Golf Warehouse is running a special on the TaylorMade Ultimate Cart Bag. Regularly $229, its now priced at $99.
I’m curently in the market for a cart bag ... no, I’m not giving up on walking. Its just that the stand bag that I have doesn’t fit as well into the hand cart as a stand bag would.
I’ve looked a a bunch of them at different pro shops around town. The cheaper ones always seem to be ... well, cheap. And the better ones, with lots of pockets and high quality material are much more expensive.
So this one is looking really good.
TaylorMade R7 TP Three Wood Review
TaylorMade R7 TP Fairway Wood w/Graphite Shaft
Grade: A
Teacher’s Comments: This is a very forgiving and versatile club that’s staying in my bag.
In spite of its “Tour” designation, I think that the TaylorMade R7 TP Fairway Wood is a club that could find its way into a lot of players’ bags. As a mid-handicapper, I was unsure whether a “tour driven” club like the R7 Fairway would work for me. Frankly, I’m a little scared of products designed for tour pros, and shafts that say “stiff.”
I know my limitations.
But like the R5 TP Driver, which I reviewed earlier, the R7 TP 3 Wood sent for my review by TaylorMade is a club that I’d love to have stay in my bag.
TaylorMade R5 Dual TP Driver Review
R5 Dual TP Driver
Grade: A+
Teachers’ Comments: This is a driver for the ages, the perfect mix of power and forgiveness.
Like Parsifal questing for the Holy Grail, I have long been in search of THE ONE TRUE DRIVER.
Over the years, I have played any number of glittering jewels, including selections from Adams, Callaway, Spaulding, Titleist, Snake Eyes, and Golfworks. Some were long; some were accurate; some were a little of both. But none were the holy grail - THE ONE TRUE DRIVER.
Then about three weeks ago, an unexpected package from TaylorMade showed up at my door, containing a review copy of the new TaylorMade R5 Dual Driver—TP Edition.
