xFT Wedges with inserts that say "Forged". When did TM release these inserts?

[Chilli9880]

I'll be that guy... only 12 clubs in the bag and she was practicing with the putter. So she only carries 13?

[tembolo1284]

Lovely lovely bag of sticks!

her pitching wedge is missing maybe its a vokey or something

[Chilli9880]

Good Catch Farst.

I wonder if some players by contract have to update clubs more often to have the new stuff that consumers want to see. Last time we looked in Nat's golf bag it was all different. It looks awesome but does she get used to it before she gets newer, new stuff

Her caddy had it and it was a TM that matched her irons

...aaaaaand another Jetspeed, [s]and also lurking under an SLDR headcover.[/s] [Self-correction; on a second look, it isn't a SLDR headcover, is it? Is it a generic, or is that a Jetspeed headcover?] Is the Jetspeed supposed to be a secret or something? Why not market the hell out of the fact that the Jetspeed seems to be working better than the SLDR for LPGA players?

Oh well, I don't care how TaylorMade wants to market itself. All I want is one good driver and I suspect that this year's flavor, when the weather gets better, is going to be a Jetspeed. And if my stroke average this year is the same as Natalie Gulbis, it will be the best year of my life.

Been out for several years. Before the ATV wedge introduction. Softest of the inserts. Hard to find, don't think they ever were retail.

I wonder if the Forged inserts were JDM market.

I don't think so. I am not opposed to buying JDM. I found the one I have on BST here.

Greg, I have learned my lesson and won't say anything about Natalie not using a Ghost Putter!! I am sure she could have her pick as well. As much as a Monte Carlo, Fontana or Spider Mallet seems like her Cameron, they aren't in the bag right now.

[kwooten31]

Is that a wood shaft she is using in her hybrid?

That's the newer more generic SLDR headcover. I bought a 430 week before last and it came with that headcover that just said TaylorMade on it. No SLDR or tuned performance on it. Felt a little cheaper too. I use the original cover with SLDR on it that was on the used 460 I had.

The forged xft faces were tour only never released in the retail market.

[m_schroeds]

I like the Kucharesque wedge setup

Slower swing speeds need more spin to reach their carry distance maximum. These girls with mid-90's swing speeds need more spin, not less, to cut down on dispersion.

I have started to see it in the PGA tour as well now.

[gprointraining]

You are 100% correct. Look at almost every single Ping staffer. The I25 and Anser are the two lowest spinning drivers that company has ever made, and what do 95% of their tour staff play? The higher spinning, more forgiving G25.
