Where's the video?

[elliotmaloney]

Great Video! What kind of camera was this shot with?

[tbomb]

wait wait wait, gpp has their own range??

[RWale]

i doubt you cud hit a short high lob shot of a bare lie with that!
also any wedge you can hit a 30 yard shot of a bare lie !
i don't buy this atv wedge malarcy each shot out of sand the depth of sand changes therefore on a barer lie you would want less bounce and on heavy sand more, which comes down to individual players skill and ability to open or close the club more or less.

Yeah we have our own range (covered and non-covered areas) but this was shot in our private area where we give lessons. So in some videos you may see us hitting off mats in our covered area but I think the videos have much more authenticity if viewers can get a feel for how clubs perform off real grass, sand, mud, etc.

I am open to more video ideas and how to improve them -- thoughts, anyone?

I would like to see newer clubs compared to older ones in videos. Why is the newer club better? Show both on screen to show the differences. Also compare 2012 releases from multiple manufacturers. What advantage, if any, does one club have over the other as far as versatility, forgiveness, and perhaps the most interesting would be the number differences on a launch monitor. I recommend this type of review on clubs, and shafts.

[elliotmaloney]

Nice. I have an iPhone 4 too, the lighting just looks really good on this video for an iPhone 4. Again nice work

Nice, I wish I worked retail with an outdoor range.

If you give lessons, that means that you have PGA guys, let's see some of the pros test the product and put some numbers up. I'd personally like to see a pro on a launch monitor hitting the new gear, ie RBZ 3 wood vs. their gamer.

Keep the reviews honest, we know that TM loves when you sell their product, but convince me it's a better product then the competition.

Thanks for the videos!

2 other notes, sick JL jacke, and how is the wedge for knock downs?

[gken]

so essentially this is like the trusty rusty were bounce is irrelevant because when you open it the bounce technically changes?

[tigerfan23]

that wedge looks terrible but I for one loves the videos keep up the reviews don't let the 15 year olds here deter you good stuff

[ohcanada17]

not sure what this video shows?

Data is more relevant than someone hitting fat and thin shots with it.... and then providing their opinion... we all have opinions but whats the data show? This video should be with the post of the guy asking how similar the new Cally driver is to the ATV wedge... lol

Give me some slow motion club / turf interaction... spin numbers with the new groove... cut away the face and show the club sitting in the turf and how the sole really reacts...



I'll grab a wedge from my TM rep and show everyone how it works off frozen ground when its -30c out!

[ZBigStick]

Very nice video of product testing.

It looks like the wide sole got in his way on the third bunker shot and off of the tight lie.

Good for most conditions, providing the bunkers are fluffy and the fairways average and the chips tight.

There is NO wedge for all conditions. TaylorMade has got the "average" conditions covered though.
