Whats next for the Taylormade in 2012?

Perfect.  I'm looking to get a new 3W, and replace my 980F which is 13*.  So having a strong 3W is right up my alley.  The TP version is just different shafts?  I'll have to get my club fitter to fill me in on what I can expect to see offered.  Going to send him an email now.

[URL=http:/?p=15492]the woods will come in three lofts: 13, 14.5, 18. stock shaft is Matrix Ozik RUL 70 75-gram in X, S, and R. there will be a TP version with 25 shaft offerings.[/URL] those lofts are significantly stronger than last years burner models, which came in at 15, 17, 18, and 21.

Those are weird numbers. 13 degrees is usually a 3+ wood, or something like that, and 14.5 is only a half-degree stronger than a normal 3 wood, but 18 degrees is a degree weaker than most 5 woods. Not sure what they're going for there. Speaking of which, it's odd that last year's Burner had a 17 degree and an 18 degree, especially since the clubheads were the same volume and the shafts were the same length.

I will get ALL the info tomorrow.  The R11s just like the R11 will probably be the same head with a different shaft.  The RBZ driver will have 2 heads, not sure about the fairway, I am guessing it will be different just like the Burner 2.0 fairway is different.

Holy****

I just watched this video again: http://youtu.be/4PHWpmuhaqs

And realized O'Hair is hitting that 3W off the deck 306.  DJ was hitting it off a tee... Which was still impressive.  But off the deck 300+ is insane.

Saw that on the TM website as well - that's crazy distance off the deck. I am in the market for a new 3W and was looking at the superfast 2.0, but I may have to wait and try this.

sorry about the watermark, but i can't find many pictures. aside from the (again) terrible name, the branding looks excellent.

Will TM's 2012 equipment be available in box sets at Walmart?

What till you hit it. It's basically 3 wedges in one club. I'll be doing more write ups soon
