Forum Thread of the Day: “Major TaylorMade Announcement?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day was submitted by From_Parts_Unknown, who claims to have received an interesting email from David Abeles, CEO and President of TaylorMade Golf. Within the email, From_Parts_Unknown states that the message contained the following:
“We are preparing to make one of the most significant announcements in company history – a new addition to our athlete team that will light up the industry and enhance the impact of our brand like never before. Please stay tuned. You will hear from us in a couple of weeks!”
As you would expect, the news has created a buzz in our forums, and our members have been speculating on what the major announcement could be.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- jll62: “If it’s a ball/glove deal with Rickie, that is a big deal. Signing the #12 player in the world to use your product is a major announcement. Think about it. He’s a long time Titleist ball loyalist, so if you can get him to come over and play your product, it’s validation that you have something special.”
- tatertot: “Any way TM found a way to get Phil away from Callaway?”
- andrieddie: “Fleetwood is the best guess but does he light up the industry? Curry is all Callaway and why would they think signing a basketball star would help with selling golf clubs? Or maybe with the hyperbole, it is Rickie with the ball deal.”
- golfgirlrobin: “‘Light up the industry’ is a pretty high bar. If it turns out to be a ball/glove deal, that’s going to be a bit of a joke. I don’t see Zach Johnson switching companies again as particularly exciting and certainly wouldn’t enhance the impact of their brand “like never before“. I am curious, though.”

It does have one small nick on the face near the toe as shown, otherwise in amazing new condition. -BOS reconditioned and received last month. Oil can finish as done new by BOS when this putter was released many moons ago. -Head cover is authentic SC and shows age. Velcro is worthless of course, but does stay closed. -Length is 34.25 inches, original shaft. -Grip is old and needs replacing.

Mitsubishi Diamana WB: What you need to know + club build, on-course testing
GolfWRX’s Resident Club Junkie, Brian Knudson, was naturally excited to get his hands on Mitsubishi’s new Diamana WB shaft.
In this video, BK gives you a brief overview of the new WB, builds up a driver, and takes it to the course for some testing.
With the rebirth of the iconic Whiteboard profile, Mitsubishi didn’t just re-issue a classic, but rather infused all the company’s latest tech into a new shaft, paying homage to the original with its quintessentially Hawaiian-inspired stylings. A summary of that impressive roster of technology, below.
- 80-ton Dialead pitch fiber: Positioned in the handle, Dialead is designed to deliver greater ball speed via better energy transfer.
- Aerospace-grade MR70 carbon fiber adds additional strength, and 46-ton fiber in angle plies in the tip section reduce torque for tighter shot dispersion.
- Consistent Feel Design: Engineers target minimal variance across shafts (butt OD, weight, and balance point) to make the fitting process easier.
- Xlink Tech Resin System: Engineers continue to reduce resin content and increase carbon fiber volume for greater feel without sacrificing strength and durability.

Come on you guys are smarter than this. They got tiger for the TP5 ball. Nobody gets the whole bag and allows the ball to be bridgestone. Tiger has been testing during his break and is probably on board now.

My guess is Tommy Fleetwood, he has been practicing with a set of TaylorMade prototype irons in Dubai, saw them with my own eyes, identical to Tigers

IF there’s a lawsuit involved for a competitor’s non-performance, it could be almost anybody.
That said, I seriously doubt that Phil will leave Callaway. After all, he half-invented the PM grind wedges and the PM 64* jumper.

I bet they signed someone who can really move the needle, maybe like Woody Austin?

Adding another “athlete” won’t sell one more club for TM….just ask Nike how that worked for their now defunct club business.
