I didn't say it was settled or not settled. I said on appearance, the PXG came out and then the TM iron did and it was enough to sue the company based on emulation. Not sure I said anything about Callaway copying or not copying on PM Grind. In fact I dont anybody has said it was original, although their marketing made it popular again. It doesn't make the Hi-Toe any less of a copy whether they mimicked Callaway, Ping or anybody else.
The sentiment that was being posted here is that none of the other TM releases came off as original, from a brand that was the absolute trend setter in tech just a handful of years ago. FWIW, your info on golf balls isn't accurate anymore, but that is for another place.
In the end golfers are smart and will decide what they view as original and what isn't. This thread seems to say that they dont think TaylorMade is being all that original with their latest releases. Whether or not its because Callaway, John Smith, Sports Authority or anybody else created it doesn't make something more or less original, so not sure why someone posting TaylorMade copied XYZ all of the sudden turns into "well Callaway does too", but its become rather par for the course on the ole interwebz.
Haha. No, I am saying the pxg and taylormade reaches a settlement agreement. Haha
Right...Which still doesn't change anything, which is exactly what I said.
Not sure what is even being contested. Its consumer sentiment and it has come out with every TaylorMade release outside of Spider as of late. When you lose high level R&D things are bound to happen, but nobody is going to jump up and down and say SIM, Hi Toe, PIX, P790, etc were trend setting ideas.
And that certainly doesn't say anything about whether they perform, which is all rather well.
It’s gotten ridiculous. Do they think of anything on their own? Someone once said something like “Be first or be best”. TM is neither.They have jumped the shark. I’ve never seen TM this reactionary in all of their releases, ever.

I agree with most that it is better than last year's model. I think the alignment is actually rather interesting by design and as a mallet user. I wonder if we start seeing course logos in the place of the ClearPath symbols.
They look better than version 1, but they still aren't as clean as the Truvis. Not rushing out to buy them, but I'm open to seeing what they look like in hand.
Would you throw P790 in there too? I know there are plenty of other hollow head designs but did anyone inject foam prior to them?(I can't remember if pxg did or not). I don't really care about the blatant copying.. They all have been guilty of it to some degree over the years. I haven't played any of their irons before and played an M2 driver briefly but their ball (TP5x) is the thing that has impressed me and found its way into my bag.I have a very not appropriate name for the PIX images they've created here. Hahahaha
Again, its just SO reactionary. Everything TM has done the past couple years besides the SpiderX and the Truss Putters (which I think even they have confused themselves on) has been reactionary to something else in the market.
Wouldn’t that be the iron that PXG sued them for copying? ?Would you throw P790 in there too? I know there are plenty of other holow gear designs but did anyone inject foam prior to them?

I'm not one of the people that like alignment stuff on my ball, but the look better than the triple track, imo. That said, why must 2020 be the year of orange on everything. WHY???
I couldn't remember if PXG had foam.. They are out of my budget range so I don't follow their stuff as closely. One day maybe I'll give them a try but not till I figure out how to put 3 kids through college.. ?Wouldn’t that be the iron that PXG sued them for copying? ?
Oh, I get it. It's a hard pass for me too. And I said 'looks' better, not would work better. The triple track balls and putters look like child training toys to me. That's just me. This just looks busy, and I don't see how many people can sort out the alignment stuff they're going for looking at it. If anything, it seems like it scatters my eye more than focusing it on the triangles. That's probably another reason I like it more aesthetically though. Where others see the TT lines as an aid, I see them as a very specific distraction that will NEVER be perfectly aligned, so I want no part of looking at that. Ultimately neither of them are meant for me though, so it really doesn't matter what I think of them. If either one works for someone else, that's great.I’ll disagree with this, respectfully of course. The new Pix is WAY too busy for my eye to easily pick up the alignment they are going for. With TT the visual lines are already there for you. With the Pix 2.0 you have to “visualize” the lines that are not existent. It’s a HARD PASS For me
