By now everyone out there knows that customization is here to stay, so it has become a game of who can do it in a quality manner, as well as who can blend true creativity into it. TaylorMade Golf thinks they might have something that checks both boxes as they introduce their new “MySymbol” golf ball program.
TaylorMade Golf MySymbol
For once, the name here gives you a pretty good indication of just what TaylorMade is up to as they are bringing a bit of an outside the box customization option to their TP5 and TP5x golf balls. While the company has always done well with custom numbers, this notion takes the number aspect and replaces it with logos.
You see, there will be over 100 different logo options available for golfers to pick from which will customize their preferred golf ball, TP5 or TP5x, by getting rid of the number and replacing it with said logo option. So yes, instead of telling your playing partners you are rocking a number 5 TP5, it might be that you let them know you are hitting the pizza slice TP5.
Obviously, this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but you have to give TaylorMade credit for stepping outside the norms here as it will definitely appeal to a certain age demographic which they seem to be highly committed to going after.
Among the 100 symbols are categories such as animals, food, countries, holidays, states, and even sports. Not only can they be applied in lieu of a number, they can also be placed on the side of the ball as a standard logo ball option for those who might want that. On top of the different logo’s, golfers will also be able to pick from five colors (blue, green, red, orange, pink) to replace the traditional black color on the TaylorMade font.
Will this take hold? Time will tell, but Colin Morikawa and Charley Hull have both already put MySymbol designs into play on Tour. The program will go live on www.TaylorMadeGolf.com today and will be priced at $54.99 with a minimum order of 3-dozen golf balls.
