EVENT: TaylorMade SLDR Guarantee

Published

on

SLDRCOVER2

Today, TaylorMade Golf launched its SLDR Guarantee campaign nationwide.  If you buy the SLDR Driver anytime today through June and you don’t love the new distance, TaylorMade will give you your money back. You can’t really beat that…..or can you?

TaylorMade knows that GolfWRX members are different. They want to see through the marketing. They analyze every inch of every club. They want to know the full tech story behind everything. Some of you have tried the SLDR and love it. Some like it. This event is not for you. Watch this short video for the full message for us from TaylorMade’s Tom Kroll.

TaylorMade wants GolfWRX members who are skeptics, the non-believes and the doubters of low, forward CG design that powers the SLDR driver to take this challenge. Twenty GolfWRX members will be flown to four different TaylorMade Performance Labs across the country. Each will be fit for SLDR and test their driver head-to-head with TaylorMade’s flagship big stick.

LOCATIONS

  • The Jim Flick Kingdom, Carlsbad, CA
  • TMPL at Gleneagles, near Dallas, TX
  • TMPL at TPC Sawgrass, near Jacksonville, FL
  • The Kingdom at Reynolds, near Atlanta, GA

DATE

April 4, 2014 — Look for the LIVE thread
The trip will be April 3-5 for attendees and include a round of golf as well.

How will they ensure the results are fair? Data. Cold hard numbers. Launch monitors will be used in each location to ensure similar swings and prevent sandbagging. GolfWRX will have reps at each location and we’ll cover it live for you.

THE WRINKLE

There is an extra wrinkle to this challenge coming soon. Attendees will find out soon enough so stay tuned.

THE ATTENDEES

When you’re looking for skeptics, it’s hard to post and trip thread and get pure honesty. What about those who just want a free trip?  In order to prevent that, we’re sending out invites to 15 members via PM today who have previous posted their doubts and criticisms about SLDR. They’ll be announced soon.

Wesley Bryan on using 2 drivers last week and his “oopsie” hybrid

Published

on

Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from an article our Andrew Tursky filed for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over to PGATour.com to read the full piece.

It’s been well-documented that Bryan uses two 4-irons in his golf bag – including a Takomo 101U Driving Iron, and a Titleist T200 – but that’s not the only notable oddity throughout his bag.

As Bryan revealed on Wednesday, he actually played in last week’s Barracuda Championship with two drivers: a Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max, which has been his gamer throughout 2024, and a new Titleist GT2 driver. According to Bryan, the dual-driver setup allowed him to work the ball both ways off the tee more easily.

“One was a little more friendly to draw, and one was a little more friendly to fade,” Bryan said.

This week at the 3M Open, however, Bryan says he’s sticking with just one driver: the Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max, which he enjoys for its forgiveness, especially on shots that he misses on the toe of the face.

“The reason I like this driver so much is… a lot of guys hit the ball in the middle of the club face; and, yes, that’s probably the way you’re supposed to hit driver. I try to utilize a lot of the face,” Bryan said jokingly. “You see…my tee marks go anywhere from (the center of the face) all the way to over here (on the toe of the face). So I like to utilize about an inch and a half of the club face here. The forgiveness on the toe of this driver is second to none, and again, I hit it pretty poor, as you guys know, off the tee most of the time, although it’s getting a lot better. This driver offers a lot of forgiveness.”

In addition to the driver movement at the top end of his setup, Bryan has also introduced a new Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max 3-wood into his lineup to match up with his driver.

“I had a (TaylorMade) Stealth 3-wood in there for a while, but I enjoyed the Ai Smoke driver so much that I got Johnny Thompson (a Callaway Tour rep) out here to build up a 3-wood as similar as possible,” Bryan explained. “This club was used just yesterday in a round to take some money off of Tom Whitney and Zach Johnson on the final hole. I drove it in the hazard, which is obviously not uncommon. Dropped it on a side hill in the rough from 265 yards, hit it to 10 feet… and made birdie the hard way. So this club, I’ve really been enjoying it; it’s been in the bag for about three weeks now.”

Bryan also uses a TaylorMade Stealth 2 hybrid, which interestingly ended up in his bag by accident last year.

“[My hybrid] was built just as a backup while I was waiting for my clubs to arrive [at the John Deere Classic last year], and I needed stuff I could go play the pro-am with, so this was just kind of an ‘oopsie’ hybrid… it turns out I love it. It’s been in the bag ever since.”
