SpeedScrew would be a really really bad name

not as bad as SrewFace. Where did Twist face go?

I can't imagine them getting rid of TwistFace already. It'd look pretty bad on their part. Plus, I thought that when the line up came out last year they said that TwistFace was not on the woods because they didn't have the time to get it to work properly, but they were hoping to have it in future models. I hope I'm not getting that confused with Callaway not having Jailbreak in the Epic woods, but I think I saw that in an article early this year.

That's what they told us on the trip.

[tbone18]

from what I am seeing with these screws, they have to be screw weights or weight ports for a weight cartage to be inserted. Similar to the Gravity weights in the GBB Double Black Diamond. So whatever the side you put the weight on will help to increase ball speed on your normal misses. If you miss on the toe area you put your weight in the toe port and vice versa. Now this is just my thinking. No of this has been confirmed. Now I know why the M5 will retail for $550. Now here is the next question, will the M6 which is the M4 replacement will have the screws as well? The M6 will retail for $500

Callaway is still all jailbroken out. Checkout the callaway thread for new pics.

I wonder when the embargo date is?

 

Since they aren’t doing a show booth I’m guessing 2/1

 

The beans will be spilled by 2/1.

 

Again, our club: Dec 13th fittings booked for new launch.

Not 2/1

[Captain Morgan]

Is it possible the screws in the face connect to a tube that goes out the back of the driver like a tube. Instead of air going around the head air goes through it. Making it faster with less resistance. Will have to see in testing if the screws come lose from constant ball pounding.

That sounds very plausible. Thanks tbone.

That sounds the opposite of plausible (Inplausible?).

Rep dropped by again and I was able to snap a photo of the new M6!

 

Twist Face Technology is reportedly being replaced by Square Face Technology. Stock shaft is a Tensei Pro Orange.

 

Square head. yuck

People were upset about the new Cally driver costing $529 then TM goes and ups there’s to $550...

That would be very interesting if that is the case. Anything to move weight down is a good thing IMO and this would seem to may like a WAY better version of what Titleist did with the SureFit CG with regards to effectively shifting CG around. Now there would need to be enough discretionary weight freed up in order for this to be effective though, these can't be 6-8g weights if they want to actually do anything.

Or they are stabilizing bars and have nothing to do with weight and TM took jaulbreak and did testing on using similar technology in a horizontal vs vertical setting and came up with this design.

As long as you have at least 12 grams of weight it will change the CG. Titleist SF cartage is 12 grams, plus Callaway's Gravity Core cartage was 12 grams as well.

horizontal jailbeak will stiffen the face and reduce ball speed in that area of the face. Make no sense. More mass in the head = more ball speed. So if they use a CB shaft they will be able to achieve the proper swing weight. Plus if they can pin point that weight they can make that area faster with more mass. That was one of the purposes of the Gravity Core in the GBB DBD driver.

[WHC888]

so I imagine it will be something like the sketch, two structure tube connecting the face all the way to the back of driver head.

two weight screws directly mounted on the face allow them to bring CG further up and further reducing the spin.

with the face now has two holes, how is that going to affect the sound?

with the structure tube connecting face to the back of the driver, how is that going to affect the trampoline effect??

 

if the two screws on face are interchangeable, they either have to have some sort of tube behind or they would have to make the face thicker so they can thread it and put weight screws on.

 

anyways.....def. intrigued and have a ton of questions!!

 

30 seconds sketches, very ugly I know....just trying to get the point across.

 

PS. all 3 sketches are just my SPECULATION, it is not a true representation of TaylorMade's new technology!!

Outstanding representation! Thanks for clearing this up! Cheers

Screw face?

 

Is that the look on your face after you realize you’ve drunk the Kool-Aid yet again?

[Double Gee]

TaylorMade was kind enough to invite me to their launch event last week. While I can't yet share any details, I will say that everyone at TM was extremely excited about what's coming. I also had a chance test out the new products and from what I saw they should be excited. More to come!

so you think tm staff is going to be like nah im not really excited about this release?

 

I was also invited to the launch last week and got to see and test the new product and the enthusiasm is warranted. Exciting things coming in 2019 for TaylorMade.

 

They were excited about Twistface, and that was garbage.

Just what I said a page or two back. Makes sense for moving cg but it also removes the option of a truly neutral setting or you have to give up fade or draw. Unfortunately I think it’s gonna be either draw or neutral settings and maybe, maybe the 440 will be neutral and fade

[Z1ggy16]

Are those bars in the middle of the face or near the top? I wouldn't think they'd want to raise the CG much more, M4's was already kind of high.

If you look at the picture in the link, they're closer to the bottom of the face

I prefer to call it physics

[Natural1]

Like folks have said before, there has to be something for the screws to screw into, which would necessarily stiffen the face in the areas closer to the screws. So, if this is a horizontal jailbreak kind of thing, I really can't even make a good guess as to what the benefits of that would be (completely different vs the Callaway solution which doesn't interact directly with the face)

 

If this is a weight-related thing I'm guessing it would serve to increase MOI with those weights being way out on the perimeter, and would also probably push the CG closer to the face? If so, I think think that would also reduce spin, right? Overall, something similar to the R15 with the weights set as far apart as possible.

 

Who knows? Certainly not me.

[noodle3872]

Well I would love to see pictures of the new M5/M6 drivers I find myself being more curious about the screw technology then I do how they’re going to look.

[Dfwgolfdude]

I've always liked TM stuff but for whatever reason I can't get over the 2-tone scheme they've had in recent years. I know some people love it but it just doesn't;t sit well with me.

[silver504]

Looking forward to seeing this

[kiddoc]

I wonder when the embargo date is?

New ball there to test at the same time has just been confirmed:)

[Beastmode Broker]

guarantee the "face screws" will be painted on Tiger and Rory's drivers

 

im here all night

[DRRicks]

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this is the beginning of the end for TM.
