We don’t know that the sole is metal. They may have just decided to paint it a flat color rather than translucent to let the carbon fiber shoe through. 


That could be.  But if you zoom in on that area, it appears the “STeALTH” is indented and paintfilled, not a sticker/painted directly on the carbon like SIM2.

FACE OF THE FUTURE?

 

I am wondering if this Carbon Face is the face of golf clubs in the future?

 

Q.  Can this carbon face become an insert in a metal (or other material) body?  Like a metal head blade iron that has the steel face removed and this carbon insert face added.

Better speed, and dispersion from this carbon face.

 

No more need for cavity irons, hollow irons, etc...just use this carbon insert in an iron body of choice and BINGO!

 

What about wear to the carbon face?  No good for irons?

Maybe fairway woods and hybrids and driving irons/long irons?

Lots of questions, but I am thinking....wondering

 

EDIT:  Tungsten powder embedded into the front skin of this carbon face such that the face is still flexible but now with the skin of the carbon containing the tungsten it becomes extremely tough.  Now this carbon face can be used in any golf club without risk of wear.

I don't know where the chrome conversation is coming from, but for those who think they're seeing it, you're not.  The top line of the club is black from what I can see.  What appears to be chrome is the remaining photograph that was blacked out (likely to prevent from identifying the shop from which the pic came). 

 

I don't think we'll see anything other than black on the top of the club.  The "inertia generator" is looking like the only chrome on it to me.

Just to add some clarity here,

 

This is a moderated golf forum where illegal activity is not condoned and when asked to comply with legal request, we will fulfill by court order. We have done this in the past for classifieds transactions.  We will not turn over any info without legal orders. Stating that, to talk in such bravado on the Internet is probably not advisable.  
 

Posts that break the law of copyright holders will also be removed by content owners request. If pictures are info is posted/linked from other sites or social media, then we are not the holders of the info and will not take down. 
 

This is covered by the user agreement of the board. 

Posting a picture that I didn’t take of a product from a company that I have not signed an NDA with is not an illegal activity. I’m not a constitutional lawyer, but I’m pretty sure I’m protected by the United States Constitution.

Yonex did this in the late 90’s. The issue with that was the sand wore the faces down very quickly.

Perhaps what TM has developed will not wear as much as carbon material in the past?

This is a business and freedom of speech laws do not apply from a legal standpoint. Reposting copyright images and if we are issued a takedown notice is enforceable. 
 

Soliciting for copyrighted protected material and proposing to propagate it also is questionable. 
 

The terms of Service are pretty clear and to think one can cover one tracks on the Internet is a matter of how deep one’s pockets are versus another. 
 

Some leaks are done on purpose while others have means to determine sources. 
 

To reiterate a previous point, we have told OEMs once a picture is on social media, it’s difficult for us to comply with takedowns if it’s everywhere on the Internet.

Any baseballers play the Easton Stealth carbon bats? Those things got more pop as they were used more… I wonder if these will have more trampoline effect as they wear as well?


i was thinking the same thing!!! That Stealth bat when it came out was HOT AFTER ABOUT 200 hits with it..

Curious, why hasn't the leaked pics here and the callaway  driver not been removed? Is it because its on social media like you mentioned? Or maybe they haven’t requested it?

I remember that from when my son played. If the driver is the same, hard pass! Don’t want to have to go “break-in” my new $600 driver before it’s performing at its max capacity. I’d be shocked if that were the case.

At times I fail to see the point in this being called “Tour and Pre Release” forum - because you can’t really post any pics of “Pre Release” equipment without there being a whole rig morale around it these days.

 

pics of the stealth are everywhere and in hands Of Reps showing it to their clients and trying to get them to order as many as possible in the pre book - for the oem’s to think some snaps of their equipment are not going to hit social media etc Is quite frankly naive 

You can.  Just be sure to post it to your Instagram first. Then it’s covered.  
 

for the record. This only happens with one company . I posted the first known pics of the OG epic driver almost 2 weeks before they released them.  No lawyers contacted me. 
 

for what it’s worth. I hope this driver sounds and/or feels like the 300 mini.  I’m addicted to hitting that thing.  It’s the best thing with a carbon crown I’ve ever hit .

Which IMO is why OEM's need to realize that it's the age of cellphones and the internet. 

Once the demos start going out to shops with reps. Someone is going to get a photo and wind up on the internet. No sense in getting mad about it going after posters with lawyers once the club leaves the building.

Get ahead of it and just do control leaks, even if they're not up close.

Sure beats talking about X more sleeps but then again who knows maybe TM is behind this leak 🤣

I'm - approximately - one bajillion percent convinced that "OEMs" are the ones "leaking" pictures in the first place. "They" arent morons. "They" know exactly whats going to happen, they can then "threaten" "sites" to take down pictures and then throw up their hands eventually "OH WOAH IS US these pictures are everywhere, we guess its ZERO MORE SLEEPS until we allow you to talk about them".

 

The same cycle happens every time.

 

As cool AF as I find their new designs - the extra nonsense that comes along with it is equally exhausting.
