yea i hear ya. As in the example made above, its done with so many different tech related things like iphone etc etc etc i just dont see it as much of a misstep. Lazy marketing? maybe. but even that is questionable.Im not sure, but personally I think there is something different between attaching a numerical sequel to a name and creating a different name around the original. Just me though.
Cool, interested to see how this goes. Thanks for sharing.I can't comment on much, but can say that there is a lot of carbon and weight will be part of the story.
the amount of weight saving by going full carbon has to be MASSIVE.
It is reasonable to look at other places (like cars, iPhones, etc) vs looking around golf and the conditions of golf? I don't even think it is a misstep as TaylorMade has done it for years and years with the R and M lines - although I think this is the first time with something more than a letter leading the name.yea i hear ya.

I see where you're coming from. My question was more directly on the back to back, but like we've chatted about a bit, obviously names as a whole are used continuously by companies. Was just curious.
Also, what is Epic Speed?
That's what I am thinking. Will be interested to see where they moved it around too. Also will be interesting to see how many Pros pick this up as a lot of free agents moved from SIM to TSi3. Maybe this moves them back.the amount of weight saving by going full carbon has to be MASSIVE.
I would assume the weight in the back is significant, as is the weight surrounding the faceplate. I would love to see the skeleton of this to see how it all gets put together.It genuinely depends. Weight savings as a whole, most likely. To keep the weight low, you will have to add that back. Hope that makes sense.
Well, they have one of the pickiest golfers on the planet from a weight/feel/condition standpoint in Tiger. What he does and how he goes about it will be very interesting after some of the things I've read about his finite comprehension on head balance etc.That's what I am thinking.

I noted the same thing. The standard Sim had the sliding weight up towards the face. If it is back in the heel, it would seem to be a higher spinning head than last year’s model. I sure don’t see it anywhere in the sole, though, which would make it the first TaylorMade standard head without a sliding weight system in several releases.I would give it a spin. Does not appear to have any adjustable weights.

I don’t care much about names. Show me the offering is good and you can call it whatever you want.What are peoples thoughts on repeating a name?
Do you like the consistency?
Think it suggests not much has changed?
Don't care?

Correct. Removing all weight from the top and bottom sounds great, but you would quickly lose a low center of gravity. To combat that, tungsten and other materials are used to give a more precise location of weight. Can it work well? Absolutely. Partly dependent on construction and binders used to keep the whole thing together and where that leads to center of gravity when it is put together as one.
For years someone mentioned to me that eliminating everything, other than a tungsten sole would be a heck of a driver for amateurs (probably not legal either).
Its all the game that Yagley and @Canadan talked about. It is a game if robbing Peter to pay Paul. Same 2 grams here to put it there. I love that everyone (OEMs) is trying to find it and place it differently to optimize their drivers. It is partly what makes me laugh when I hear "all drivers are the same".. It really could not be further from the truth.
They better have left perfection alone.Hoping they improved the sound with the next generation. Very nice driver, but wasn’t a fan of the sound of this one.
Yup, in the end, they’ll be solid.TM always brings it with their woods, IMO. Doesn't mean they will be right for me, but there is usually something in their lineup that is really solid.

I love seeing how the companies go about it their own way in an attempt to come to (generally speaking) the same results.Its all the game that Yagley and @Canadan talked about.
