[/quote]
Nope September 8th
[/quote]Did you even watch the add, it clearly says 10.8.15 in the video and under the video. Maybe sept 8 is an press release date or something, other than that I will go with October 8 like the video clearly states.

says it took a step BACK in technology ..... guessing glued hosel, no SLDR's, back to basics driver
and a black/yellow combo again maybe?[/quote]
I doubt the glued hosel, but I'd guess they ditched the slide rail. Back to the old r7 movable weight pattern?
[/quote]

I hope so, never cared for the SLDR weighting system.

If you're right I'm glad I didn't throw out my Taylormade 17 hat.

I just want to bring a potato gun and some aqua net hairspray to the course. I'll finally see all my yardage numbers realized!

We used starter fluid over aquanet back in the day. Much more combustable!!!!

I'm guessing from the yellow UN in the ad and the black & yellow headcover on MGS that their plot scheme on this one is yellow

I don't adjust my club too much. I set it and leave it alone, but I do try different shafts from time to time.

I would not buy a driver with a glued shaft (or a fairway or rescue for that matter). The only thing I would like is when you adjust the loft, there would be additional adjustment so you could adjust how much open or closed you want the club face. I still want the club face square when I adjust the loft.

Me either in fact I've never moved my current 915 D3 but being able to swap shafts that easily is definitely appealing.

So I was just doing some digging around on the taylormade site and was looking at their source code. I couldn't figure out the specific naming convention for their driver images, but after a little trial and error came across these. They seem to be new, but I'm not too up on my Taylormade products. I've never seen it before, and in the third image it still seems to have the sliding weights (or at least weight). Anyone know anything or did I just find the new driver?

While that would be nice, I'm pretty sure given the way they change "loft" right now, it would be physically impossible...opening/closing the face is how they change the loft

I haven't seen that one before, looks like it may be the new one, too bad you can't see the bottom though.

[putting_fore_dough]

Good find. I've never seen that one before either. Seems very similar to Callaways FT concept 10 years ago though. Just not sure why Taylor made cannot think up something new on their own.

Interesting, if that is the new driver, I'll be curious to see what new tech is in it. Doesn't seem like anything innovative or different. Sliding weight track and carbon fiber on the head, nothing new there.

Good to see Taylormade is still making distance claims in their ads, cause that business model has been going so well for them the past 2 years.

Additional distance is claim every company is going to make about their drivers. Have you seen the Callaway commercials for past number of years. How many drivers would a company sell if they said our driver is 20 yards shorter than other drivers?

[gioguy21]

in regards to innovation - wouldn't a carbon crown be a big deal for TM? when was the last time they had a carbon crowned driver? might make it sound awesome...no?
