Taylormade "Freakishly Longer"

[MinnesotaGolfer]

What will be their next saying?

 

[TheMoneyShot]

Is this the new ball ad???

[bobcat]

Probably referring to shaft length.

[DoYouKnowTheMuffinMan]

Haha compared to what?? Sergio hasn't gained any distance at all the past 10 years

[cliche]

maybe the new "supertour/rocketbladez" irons.
maybe he found a new gym

[TheMoneyShot]

Maybe it's the new fwys/hybrids???

[CALI]

The new "Freakishballz" driver?

[Golfer_1993]

All your comments are really funny, but let's try to be serious for a minute
We saw the new Project 5 ball few weeks ago, so "a little thing" would fit perfectly.
It also could be the Juggernaut (OMG what a weird name) that we heard about this summer. I heard the paint scheme would be black and gold, so it could be that. But I guess we will have to wait until October 23 to know.

Probably the new ball they have been testing on tour for quite a while...and don't hate on shaft length I use a 43.75 and carry the ball 285, not bad for only being 5'5. I have been told Serg shaft length is under 43...

I don't mean to brag, but...

[CTEagle]

Should be fun to watch Sergio's freakish length while he doesn't win majors.

[darius1213]

the Durrtyballz Driver and fairway. Purple head with a flesh-toned, extra long shaft...

that's my guess.

Doesn't TaylorMade see that their marketing dept has made the company the source of more ridicule in the market than any other mfg? Whenever I hop into one of these threads, 95% of the banter is mocking and ridicule.

I guess they don't care about being the industry clown as long as it works.

I was in a retailer the other day and saw a guy come in to get fit. He wanted rocketballz EVERYTHING. He had never hit them and was about a 17 capper, but he wanted the irons, the woods, the driver, the GOLF BAG, and everything to match with the rocketballz logo all over it. He couldn't be swayed even though he hit some other drivers better.

[Conrad1953]

This is pretty routine now. A big yawn.

[Lefty94]

Wasn't there also a thread a while back about them filing a patent for the name rocket fuel? My guess would be a new ball, whatever it's name is.

We represent probably less than 1% of the golfing world. Taylormade has obviously figured out how to get the other 99% to "NEED" their clubs. Why would they change?

[caradz]

got all of you talking about it, didn't it?

+1

In that sense, TM's marketing machine is working again.

[SHIVAN]

"Tune in 10.23.12" - even the haters will.

[WVP]

To me "freakishly longer" would be 30+ yards longer. Not 4 or 5 or 10 yards.

Highly doubt it but we shall see!

Lol, so true!!!

[Fatz]

On 10/23/2012....

"All this time waiting...... For dis????"

I'll likely be thinking exactly what the Bethpage US Open crowd was when Sergio took 30mins and regripped 100 times to hit bad shots.

Yeah, they would much rather of bunch of d-bags on here not ridicule them than continue to sell clubs. Nice observation.

[TheMoneyShot]

Like them or hate them TM can get everyone going and waiting with anticipation with a quick catch phrase. Love it!!!

[WVP]

No doubt it works - just look at the sales numbers.

They create buzz and interest better than anyone and they get plenty of golfers trying and buying for this reason. And of course their stuff is quality as well.

[ChrisCYWG]

Their marketing plan works great, and credit it to them... I got the email ad, and the first thing I did was try and figure out what it was going to be, which directed me to here LOL

[Jamboy72]

Yes, I knew it..ludicrousballz !
