It's a 48 degree iron with a 48 inch driver shaft. It'll be called the Very Very Long Gap (VVLG) wedge. Think how satisfying it'll be to watch your buddy go after a full five iron and then when he asks what you're hitting you say: "Easy wedge, dude."

It's like this in every sport. When I played competitive racquetball, we had reps from e-force, ektelon, spaulding, head, etc always telling us about some new racquet that would revolutionize our game. They know guys like their toys, and what better way to get us hooked than have some fancy webinar announcing their latest and greatest. Sad part is, it will work, and soon we'll see numerous threads from guys that bought whatever it is telling us how their drives increased 20 yards and they couldn't hit a slice with it if they tried.

You can count me in when you have a remote control golf ball that I can control with a joystick built into my driver after i hit it. I'm sure Nike is working on this already.

"The dark side of distance", so Nike have come up with a driver that allows everyone to hit 350 yards consistently....

.... to the right in a big slice Thats the only dark side of distance I can think of.

A few guesses:

A five and a half layer ball. The half layer responding on those half wedge shots into firm greens.

A 46.75" driver. Studies have revealed that double-digit handicappers are not acquiring optimum distance from a 46.5" shaft (due to contact being made all over the club-face... except the middle). Therefore, 46.75" will add 2mph swing-speed for "tour validated" distances.

Modifications to existing Flight Control Technology. Those 2* closed club-faces are not actually "curing" the dreaded slice, and it has come to light that such a shot pattern would benefit from a club-face that is 4* closed.

Sarcasm?

I don't know the meaning of the word. ;)

A serious question to the low handicappers here with regards to this topic.
How much more improvement has yet to be realized from technology updates that would have a real impact on your score. In racquetball we used higher end racquets to eliminate unforced errors due to equipment, but once I purcahsed a top of the line Spaulding racquet, I didn't see any difference in the following years top of the line racquets despite all the marketing hype.

Is the top of the line TM driver from 2010 better than the top of the line TM driver from 2007? When do the laws of diminishing returns come into play. I can see golf being an even bigger money pit than racquetball, with all the different clubs, shoes, balls, etc. Will the latest and greatest driver, iron, wedge or putter take you from a 1 or 2 handicap to a scratch golfer?

A serious question to the low handicappers here with regards to this topic.

In all honestly, I don't think the driver tec can really go anywere... I had the 07 burner and it was a GREAT driver! It did not fit me proply but thats because I brought it stright of the racks. But I got fited for one of the new taylormade drivers and I would rather go back to my old burner that hit that!

Only thing that tec seems to be doing great job on is golf balls, The new taylormade penta TP and the new callaway balls all seem to out proform the ProV's by along was because of all the new tec in them. But really I don;t think drivers, Irons, wedges and putters can really get that much better. 10 years time might be a different story but now, undating gear is just because, somthing "feels" better or "sounds better" or a new shaft has come out and it fit's me better ect.
