I think that still poses a bit of the same problem in the structural sense because of the structure needed to house those types of weights. It is almost impossible for the structure housing that type of moveable weight to be truly low in the head. If you look at profile shots of the R7/R9/R11 variants with MWT, the weights invariably end up "higher" in the head. Even the rear weights are not as low as they could be. 

I think PING and Titleist have it right as I think I mentioned, they both improved upon what they had previously in terms of concentrating weight low and back. The SIM sole design is great too, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a wider, track-style adjustable version at some point. I also think that the model PING is using and TM has just started to use makes the most sense; three different models to cover the widest possible CG range. Trying to cram all of your adjustability into one model is always going to be a compromise because the further you push adjustability, the more discretionary weight you lose, and that loss is almost always going towards things that raise CG and lower MOI (weight tracks/ports primarily). The M-Series line is a perfect example of that as each subsequent model's CG got higher and higher as they expanded adjustability. So making a low spin model with a slight fade bias, a neutral model with high MOI, and a draw biased model means that you can squeeze the most out of each one without trying to have it all in one package. 

Understand this is true, but I'm curious as to how the M5 is such a low spin / high launch driver for many, with that higher CG?

Stop asking for pics. No one will PM you.

Either you’re on the inside in the industry and have hit it and seen it or you haven’t.

Or you have an Instagram account lol? These aren't nuclear codes... Chill.

actually - they will have their lawyers reach out if you’re deemed to be one to share their pics for copyright infringement.

Callaway just fired their Texas rep that leaked the Max pictures, so yes it’s a big deal to companies who strategically align their resources and marketing budget to these releases.

Not sure what industry you’re in, and I like your content Joe, but in this case you’re actually wrong.

Looks like they made them marginally deeper than the original. Also I like the blue outline, looks like it would be more intuitive to align at address. 

 

Ok I'm sold!

I’m not a fan but good thing I like my SIM 

[RonSwanson]

TM should stick with the blue accents going forward. Gives most of the major bands an identity.

 

TM - Blue

Callaway - Green

Titleist - Red

Cobra - Yellow

Ping - has been all over the place, but could/should stick with the G425 silver/grey batman/murdered out look

They are up on a couple instagram accounts right now...

Best time of the year for us ho’s

I must seeee whereee

[nickosbad]

I saw the pics whilst they were up and think they look a bit fugly!

 

they look like two drivers that have been cut in half and glued together (front from one and rear from another)

 

i think the current SIM looks far better

Yeah, I’m not a big fan of the looks either.  

[magnus7319]

Looks like a SIM with an M6 bottom with Nike 440 Flex colors, oh and an M2 weight tossed in the front sole. Frankendriver!

[geesecougar2]

It's not an elegant look like Titleist but I think it's fun without being too on the nose like Cobra. In any case I think it looks pretty good at address, I always had trouble lining up the original SIM without a second reference point to tell me the face was square, I think the blue halo helps with that. 

 

If the color customization option is true it could make a huge difference to the people who don't like this.

It’s interesting to see that even the SIM2 has a weight positioned slightly heel side of centre...maybe that is to combat the apparent fade bias of the SIM

 

wonder how they are going to offer flight shape control...makes it harder to dial in especially for Tour players and has been a big part of their marketing since forever

[sethdavidsdad]

Someone send me those pics

Damn I missed the post....anyone can share it through DM with me please?  By the sounds of it I didn't miss much...
