Wow......but I'm over TM....nice however

[yellolab]

Hit it yet?

[jokerusn]

I like the way head covers are looking lately. These are no exception. How deep is the face compared to the R15? Looks to be a tad deeper but that could just be the shape.

[wcbjr]

Nice pics!

Got any info on shaft options?

[BuckyBadger]

Hate those headcovers but love the club!

I am also interested in the face depth......felt that the R15 was on the shallow side.

430 has a little bit of the SQ look to me size wise.

Agreed, kinda look like the depth of the SLDR 430 imo.

I do gotta say, the more I see the M1, the more I like it.

So whats the pitch on this one? Obv they are saying its longer but whats the reasoning?

[MadGolfer76]

Pass...

[Puppetmaster]

Great pics, thanks. Nice pear shape for both, and the 430 footprint looks very appealing. Didn't realize the crown bulge was so conspicuous.

[J_Tizzle]

That doesn't look to shabby at all.

[CactusGolf]

I like the looks of it. I can live with the white. Be interesting to hear the impact sound.

Not a fan of the headcover, but that can be changed easily.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to do the "T"-style weights to move ballfight.

[Hifade]

What's the next version......to add a Mizuno-like sliding weight around the backside perimeter from the toe around to the heel resulting in 3 sliding weight options?

[jeffreyjenkins]

interested to try this one

[Pure745]

Oh man, that 430! If they had a black version with that carbon fiber..

[DTown3011]

I really like the way the crown looks - the visible carbon is a pretty cool looking feature and makes it look "rich."

[dadonkey]

Wonder which sliding weight is heavier or if they're the same?

[kiw1982]

I really liked the concept and the idea.

[jll62]

Those look fantastic. A 430 with the KK Silver TiNi seems like a lock for my bag

The weight in the back track is 10g. The one in the front track is 15g.

[Hrlyrdr22]

Looks good, hopefully it is a bit less shallow. Did I miss price point on this yet?

[Soxfan21]

Are prices out there for the standard or TP models yet?

[b3b3]

Has the Shaft Adapter sleeve changed?? Hopefully not.

Gotta think something can be done

??? me likey

[joey2aces]

If I recall correctly a WRX member did a 'mock' drawing of the new driver last year as a joke.... and it looked exactly like this.

[bobcat]

Thanks for posting all the pics...I enjoyed looking at all of them...

However, for some reason, I just can't make myself like WHITE clubs...whether it is TM, or some other brand.

These new TM's are actually a very nice mix of white and black carbon fiber, but I STILL much prefer the more classic look of SLDR Drivers, FW's and Rescues. Furthermore, on the iron side of things, I am still loving my 2011 full forged MC's with Project-X shafts. I am quite happy with how my all clubs are performing for me, and can't imagine there is much to be gained performance-wise. So looking at it that way, I doubt I would feel tempted even if TM had offered these in all Black.

I must say that these new TM clubs are "super adjustable", but once you are "dialed in" with adjustable settings, the value of further adjustments is diminished. In fact, I think I much prefer non-adjustable clubs since the "standard" settings usually work fine for me. These new TM clubs are certainly interesting to look at, but none are tempting to me

Don't see any changes coming for my bag anytime soon...

[ahbot]

I'm a sucker for TM marketing. I want both.

[jimb6golf]

Nice looking but it seems that this club is just a combination of things that have been tried before, by either TM or other manufacturers. And who can afford to pay $500 (assumed) each year for a new TM driver? Not sure how they can constantly say that each and every club they make is the longest yet with a straight face too. I think TM needs to move to a 2 year club cycle if they want to prevent becoming a joke (which a lot of the comments already are). Not my type of club with all the adjustments I guess.
