TaylorMade’s bag-ier Staff Bags for Doral

Published

This week at the WGC-Cadillac Championship, TaylorMade is doing its official launch of the RocketBallz Stage 2 drivers, fairway woods and hybrids that five lucky GolfWRXers are attending (follow their progress here).

TaylorMade says this year’s line up is “RocketBallz-ier” than last year’s model — particularly the RBZ Stage 2 fairway woods, which the company claims are 10 yards longer than last year’s 17-yard-longer RBZ fairway woods thanks to a stronger, more flexible face material.

TaylorMade has also release a Facebook app that will allow users to create their TaylorMade Stage 2 Staff Bag with their “name-ier” name on it. After “liking” the page, users can enter a contest for a chance to win a real customized RBZ Stage 2-ier Staff Bag and a 3 wood.

Check out the photos we’ve snapped of TaylorMade staffers’ bags this week at Doral, which are “bag-ier” than their bags last week, as well as the special stand bags TaylorMade made for the “WRX-ier” contest winners.

These are kind of ugly and boring. I liked it a lot better when they put the players’ driver specs on the bag a while back. That was pretty cool/informative.

They actually thought of something lamer than the facepaint. Based on the number of tmag paid players vs. number of wins, they are not doing well at all. Other brands are smoking them !!! Those are the facts, more factzzzier than any hearsayier conjectureriers. Worse still is their ads featuring pros who imply that they play certain iron(zz) but in fact are playing MBs or CBs. More deceptiveier than everer . . .

Its quirky but at the very least it is something entertaining. It helps that the TaylorMade clubs are winning, so they must be doing something right.

I know they’re doing it for the kids, to bring more kids into the game, but it’s a but too childish for the adults to really take this seriously.

Spotted: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Ti 340 mini driver, DUW fairway wood

Published

Brian Knudson

We have seen a few new mini drivers from the likes of Titleist and TaylorMade being tested out on tour recently. Now, Callaway looks to be jumping into the mix at the RBC Heritage. We spotted Christian Bezuidenhout testing out a new Paradym Ai Smoke Ti 340 mini driver on the range. We don’t have any details yet but the club clearly states “mini driver” on it, and the “340” could easily refer to how many CCs the head is.

What we do know is that this mini driver has a very similar design to the current Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond 3-wood. The sole looks to be made from steel or titanium, not forged carbon like the Paradym Ai Smoke drivers. It has weights up near the face and at the back of the club. Callaway’s OptiFit hosel is also present on this driver to allow loft and lie adjustments, and if you look closely on the face, you can make out the “Ai Smart Face” text at bottom center. The crown looks to have the familiar carbon fiber weave and Ai Smoke logos we have seen on the current clubs.

Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke DUW

The other Callaway prototype that was spotted looked to be a little more of a traditional fairway wood — but with non-traditional weight placements on it. Callaway’s Paradym Ai Smoke DUW looks to have four adjustable weights on it — two on the sole, one on the hosel, and one on the toe. This hosel isn’t adjustable, and I would assume that is to save some weight from creating spots for the movable weights.

It is hard to tell from the photos, but the face looks to be a touch deeper than the traditional Triple Diamond fairways. This deeper face could be where the “DUW” name comes from. With three weights all pushed forward near the face this DUW has to be a very low spinning and launching head. The sole is made from metal and similar in design to the current Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond fairway woods as is the carbon crown.
