@PingDrv00,

I think you misinterpreted some of those comments, nobody is doubting Reynolds.

I guess I could have read it wrong, but that was definitely the way it seemed. Any way regardless, I hope everyone has a great time, and really takes a moment to enjoy how special an opportunity it is.

These are Dustin Johnson's current 2014 radar numbers using I believe an 11.3* SLDR but I'm no sure on shaft specs. His launch is lower and spin higher than I would have guessed.

17/1700 seems like a distance "ideal." However, it is not the ideal for some real world golf conditions, especially firm and fast PGA Tour courses. 1700 spin would run out into the rough on many PGA Tour tracks. There is going to be a happy medium somewhere, and I think TMaG has expressed as much. However, high spin still plagues a lot of amateurs. They are never going to reach 17/1700, but it is a quantifiable goal.

NOTE: The first post has been updated with what follows...

[u][b]March 28: Part 2 of the SLDR Guarantee for GolfWRX[/b][/u]

[color=#b22222][size=5][b]$5000 UP FOR GRABS[/b][/size][/color]

Well, the lucky 20 GolfWRX members are set and all are excited to visit TaylorMade Performance labs around the county. They have their doubts about the SLDR driver and TaylorMade is out to prove them wrong. Now an apples-to-apples driver comparison is fun, but TaylorMade is prepared to put their money where their mouth is...literally. Check out this short video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaXME9hOpr4

That's right. TaylorMade is putting up [i][b][u]$5000 cash at each location[/u][/b][/i]. For every yard a GolfWRX members driver beats SLDR, they'll earn $25. For every yard SLDR beast the GolfWRXer's driver, they'll earn $25.

Get ready! Look for a thread next Friday where we cover the results LIVE on GolfWRX.

Lets see who earns the most!

What a cool wrinkle? I am interested to see the responses if anyone's gamer holds up or whether the SLDR reigns supreme. I am interested to see all the results.

FML!!! Imagine to be selected and not be able to go because of a late work conflict... if that happened to someone, they would probably be drinking very heavily tonight!!!!!!!!!!

I can say I'm now extremely intrigued. They must really believe in the sldr...I still feel like I'm not going to gain much, maybe a yard or two? Guess that's why I was chosen! Prove me wrong TMaG!

So what are the perameters of this comparison? Is it expected that everyone will Loft Up as per the 1st vid?

So if loft up doesnt work yet you get more gains with a lower lofted SLDR what does that tell us about Loft Up?

[u][b]Apples to Apples[/b][/u]

Also I think a true Apples to Apples comparison would be for those showing up with unfitted off the rack drivers with stock shafts should only compare their gamers to an off the rack SLDR with the stock shaft. Not an exotic aftermarket shaft. However this should not limit them from trying something else with an exotic shaft afterwards. But in the Spirit of Apples to Apples this is only fair.

But If you have been fitted for your gamer then Taylermade should be able to try out any combo they like on you.
