   Can anyone tell me why I keep seeing 2 different serial number fonts on the V2 heads? I’ve had my hands on 4 different V2 heads and 3 outta the 4 were a light font while the other a more pronounced. Any answered would be interesting.

   Why does a lighter head allow for the use of heavier shafts. I would of expected the reverse

   I don’t think you guys get it. A g25 head is a a G25 head, the pros play the same head as consumers that cost $350. They get fit for a shaft and loft that fits their swing.

   I was not calling the V2 a clone, the one that has been selling in stores is a clone of what tour pros are playing, as in its a cheaper club. I recently heard not a single player on tour plays the retail head of the R1, obviously something is wrong there.

     Agreed! We have the right to play what we choose, or we can go to a manufacturer that will offer us what we want, not some watered down retail head different from tour heads!

     This is my exact argument. Every other company but taylormade has retail versions of there drivers in play. The whole problem with taylormade is them acting like every pro on tour plays his “r1” that is completely different from the one they sell. Yes, nike has several drivers too, but players still play retail versions, not a single retail r1 is in play. But taylormade is sure as hell going to try and advertise that the pros play the r1. Doesn’t matter if the retail r1 is better for the average golfer, it’s still straight up BS marketing by taylormade.

   Any chance that a V2 RBZ Stage 2 Tour Driver will become available? Do like the smaller heads that were available with some of the old TP Models.

   I don’t get it anymore…why do people want the exact same driver tour pros use? I keep hearing Dustin Johnson’s name and driver being thrown around…if anyone on the site were given his EXACT driver it would undoubtedly hurt their game…the only differences in their club fitting is that the loft, face angle and cog is permanent…go get fit and if you want it to be permanently fixed, pay to have the head hot-melted but expect to pay a premium…enough whining about not getting a superbly fit, premium club for a retail price, it’s not gonna happen. Everything available to tour players is available to us (with the exception of prototype shafts) if you know where to look and are willing to pay for it, tour players don’t have to pay because they’ve EARNED access to these services.

   I wonder how much of a difference it would make for the average golfer?

     I think the biggest difference it will make for amatuers will be in their credit card statements

     The tour heads are not for the “average” golfer! That would be the retail head.

   No taylormade clubs in my bag, and not at all a taylormade fan either, but I will be giving this head a serious look. With the combination of the adjustability like the original r1, with a smaller, lower spinning profile, I look forward to giving this a shot to get in the bag.

    If you don’t like TMAG, just don’t buy their stuff. I won’t buy this driver because it’s the tour version and I’m a club golfer but If people want to buy it, good for them. TMAG make good golf clubs as do all OEM’s out there. It’s all about personal preference and what works for your game. The last time I checked, it’s a free world and people can buy whatever they like. It’s getting old that people rag on TMAG all the time. If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

    Good move TM!!!

    Be sure to keep offering the exact heads used by the pro’s or we will go elsewhere, as we have of late. Also, please up your game on shaft options!!!! You know its all about being properly “fit”, so please give us as a huge selection so we can get the shaft that fits our swing.

    Thanks for cutting the bullsh__ TM!!!!

    Amazing how when a golf ball manufacturer makes balls for different levels of players / club speeds then they are applauded. However TM make drivers for real people and they get slated by trolls for not selling pro clubs to amateur golfers.

    When they do offer the pro clubs then the trolls are back saying they are too expensive / still not the version the Tour Pro’s are playing / testing.

    Just a shame the Trolls can’t think of anything nice to say. I don’t even understand why they read a thread with TaylorMade in the title as they are already angry !

    Guess how much the G25 that Hunter, Bubba, etc. play… $350. This is lame, once again Taylormade. This comes months after all your loyal faithfuls that believe your marketing buy your clone clubs that only appear to look like what the pros play, real weak!

      Jim… I’ve actually hit this V2 and it is not a clone / marketing ploy. They actually do make a different head that is lower spinning for tour level players. I think this news is absolutely spectacular. This is them basically bringing TP back into play. These clubs don’t cost any more for them to make besides getting a premium shaft, so why should we have to pay $1,000 on eBay to get a tour performance club. I think it’s a huge win for them to make this option available for $600. If I can get the shaft I want for that price, I’ll be standing in line.

      P.S… show me where you can get exactly what Bubba and Hunter are playing (shaft & all) for $350.

        Show were it says that you can get any shaft the pros are using for $600. It appears that you get a relatively cheap aldila rip phenom shaft. Again, it’s TM being TM.
