It says you can change the loft, lie, face angle, weight, all for up to 75 yds difference in results.
sounds like some BS to me.
it looks like BS too. uglies thing i have ever seen, even uglier than the FT-iQ

Wow... TM come's out with something that is pretty simple looking, in my opinion, and without even hitting it, people call it ugly. They also call the adjustability BS right off the bat. Without ever seeing the frickin club in person.

Can you at least hold the club, and hit it, before you make any conclusions?

P.S. Am I the only one who thinks the iQ looks pretty good?

I took a look at an iQ driver in our proshop...he's got one in there for demo purposes. Gonna try it out next round or two as time permits. I find that function over form is my rule. The G10 series is fairly conventional looking with the fairways (except for the wild shaft colors of mine) but the huge heads on todays drivers are insane looking. I don't mind, though because the benefits are trememdous.

Taylor Made is constantly revamping their line up....it will be interesting to see and try out this club. Until then I have no opinion on it other than I think the concept is very cool.

ok, let me rephrase my original post. Considering everything, the clubs in my bag aare all very traditional, and that thing looks like a stealth fighter, with all the weird angles and what not. I guess the concept is cool, but it sounds almost a little too good to be true, and i own a r7 limited, it does have a lot of side to side variablity. The ft-iQ is a good concept, but i also just really, really hated square clubs (just my opinion) so dont get mad at me for not liking it. I understand that in the golf world, it should really come down to form over function, and if you want your own tour van to carry around in your bag, then, by all means, go for it. I think that i have always been taught to play and adjust to the course you are playing. I just never really thought of it as changing the settings in your driver. I am really sorry if i affended you, Baraethon.

Im a big fan of Taylormade but I'm so far not to interested in this club just to much stuff to mess with I finally got my drive worked out where I can either just pound the hell out of it straight and shape the ball a bit from left to right when needed still cant get the draw down but ill get there. I really think it will help some people a great deal just like the draw driver that helped a buddy of mine to keep it in play a great deal but just not for me. I am still waiting to get my hands on a tour burner!! That will be a GOOD day!

ya im not a big fan of the r9 driver. it looks like something... well i dont know, it just doesnt look natural. so crazy and "edgy" and weird. i like the reference to a stealth fighter =) thats just my opinion, but i wont be picking it up.

i do, however, really like the new 09 burner irons. ( http://www.golfsmith.com/ps/products/TM1560 ) i think they look really nice. im looking forward to tring them out.

    • . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score  
    • That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.
    • Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen. 
    • Day 299 - 2025-07-26 I spent 15 minutes practicing but it was almost pointless. It wasn't good practice. I was not really in it, but I put the time in. Oh, I did some chipping work before-hand, and that was good. I could have just left after that. 🙂 
    • Well that's different.
