TaylorMade TRUSS. Worst Ever Golf Club Name?

[Mahamilto]

could it help some? Sure...

 

but the same .355 shaft is still connected to the head at a single point... sooooooo...

 

Oh... and the CER-VX irons got screenshotted and sent to so many. Thanks for that dynamite drop in. Made my day

[crapula]

We will, the truss will be not visible but built into the hosel and running through to the bottom of the club using graphite/ carbon fiber rods.

[Dpavs]

I noticed that Cer VX was an over sized model... I wonder what the feel was like?

[MKPAPA]

The name isn't bad. it describes exactly the tech.

Ugly? YES

[Noke]

I think the OS model allows the player to more easily dial-ate on their yardages.

[kiw1982]

If Tiger bags this and win the Masters, I will THINK about it. Maybe.

[farmer]

CER-VX made me spit on my keyboard.

[golfguru80]

very corny name indeed

[zerotiger]

in God we Truss

[Mahamilto]

... have we checked the release date? Maybe it’s 4/1?

[Lip1337]

must have said someone with a full bag of TM

like the other said before: Rocketballz

[bripgall3265]

I agree that they look hideous... But in my opinion, the name Truss isn't that bad. I have heard worse for sure.

[mister2cool]

If you hit your putt hard enough to twist the face, you should probably hit that shot with 7i instead.

If TM is the king of Mount BS, Scotty Cameron is the Queen of BS

[tarrantian]

Is it weird that I just bought 2 of them?

Seriously, I can't even get behind this one, and if anyone could it would be me...

A few pros (inc. Byeong-Hun An, Matt Wolff, etc.) are 'gaming' them, but feel it will be short lived. To an earlier post, An was missing everything last weekend with the thing sad to say. In all seriousness, TM makes great and highly regarded putters, why put this out without some serious consultation with serious consumers??

Considering the investment to produce, market and distribute a product in a very competitive industry, seems really questionable.

Rocketballz and Diablo have the worst name gold medals...

Next will be the TaylorMade CRVX wedges which will do all sorts of amazing things never done before in the history of golf followed closely by the WLHUNG line of drivers which will set the world on fire.

When I see "Truss." I think of::

Fred Garvin: Male Prostitute.

 

[GeorgeHWB]

If you made putts with a putter called "White Supremacy" would you use it? What if it was called "The Hitler" putter? Or the Ebola putter?

 

I think names matter to some extent.

[Z1ggy16]

Your situation is too extreme to be a good example. No company is going to ever name any consumer product after something grossly offensive.

[14max]

I find this kind of offensive...

[uglande]

YES!!!!!

[Dpavs]

Or would they?

[Skhacker]

Truss is bad but there's a lot of bad names out there. Stroke Lab has always sounded like a cheesy adult movie title. 2 major oem's competing for worst putter name.

[14max]

I feel the same way about SuperStroke grips...

[Edward_Majorwin]

Hahaha the TB2 model looks like the business end of a vacuum cleaner. Surely your cat will freak out for no apparent reason when you bring out the TRUSS for some indoor putting practice (I know, maybe 8% of you have a cat in the house)

[BIG STU]

HMMMM clears throat--- That is a Macgregor term from the 50s that Tommy Armour came up with---- A very rare and much sought after persimmon driver-- a original LFF is much sought after in the persimmon collector world

[BIG STU]

It was long before Titleist was even thought of---- You have been over in the Classics section long enough to know

[BIG STU]

Tears streaming down my face!! Are those peppers for real? or did you photo shop that? anyhow too funny. Oh man just Googled it and it is for real

[Dpavs]

 

A few more masterpieces of marketing. I never put anything past what a company will name something.

and I'm guessing consumers find the choice is hard between these...
