Just a quick thread to see whether anyone knows about the next iteration of driver from TaylorMade and whether it will be the R13?
Any inside scoop?
Thinking about changing from my R9 which is a bit dated but given there will be a whole new raft of driver models released early in 2013 thinking about hanging on...Love my TM...

They come out with a new one about every 6 months, so I would expect to see another 17 yards gained from them before the year is out.

It has got to be called the R13 right! Even though 13 is an unlucky number and golfers - well we all know hus superstitious they can be :)

I am guessing they will change the name somehow...even though it should be the name if they were to be consistent!

Any update on this?  Wonder now that we are getting so much closer to announcements being made for the 2013 models...

kind of an unlucky number though....

I read that TaylorMade put in a trademark application for the name "RocketFuel" but that name would seem to be more applicable for their next line of golf balls.  Speculation is it will be R13, but they could go with another iteration of R11, such as R11x or R11z so they can avoid using the number 13.

I could see them going with an entire ad campaign touting how 13 just became your lucky number.

It is going to be called the R1.  My club pro is a Taylormade rep, he said it is basically the RBZ with the R11s weights.

They should use that name for an energy drink.

[/quote] They could be making both. TM will have at least 2 lines.

Upshot is that whatever TM bring out this year will not be anything but a lick of paint improvement on last years model.And that applies to all OEMs.

Hey, well, freakishly longer. I wish someone would say that about me... but alas...

Leave it to TM to peddle the freaks to long drive freaks.

      Launch Monitor Phone App

      By pganapathy ·

      Phone launch monitors are only getting better.  The cameras are improving with each new generation of phone and software is getting more accurate.  It is only a question of time before phone apps are good enough for all the basic information a golfer needs (club head speed, ball speed, carry distance, total distance).  It makes me wonder about the value of launch monitors in the long run, barring high level amateurs and professionals who want very accurate data and more parameters

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By pganapathy ·

      I live in South India so temperatures are virtually never cold enough to stop play.  Just that the monsoon can make play difficult.  I am just not willing to play in the rain and kind of reluctant to play when the ground is soggy and balls are plugging all the time.  And since we don't have snow here, any time the ground is dry enough I am willing to play

      Just listened to episode 8 - I really enjoyed this one. The vegetable analogy is great IMO. Candy is fun and gives you the instant high, but if you only eat candy you're not going to be feeling too good. Vegetables don't give you that instant high, but they keep you healthier and long term you'll feel much better.  For what it's worth, for me, sometimes I want something that is going to help me shoot a better score on Saturday and others I want to improve something about my swing that will make me better long term even if I struggle a little in the short term. It's up to me to communicate that with my coach.  Last comment - I would indeed share the hope that every lesson leaves the player "better" than they were on the way in. I would imagine if you have a good coach and good student, then the only time that doesn't happen is when you leave the lesson with it going so badly that you just revert to the old pattern.

      2025 NFL Draft

      By mcanadiens ·

      After the Watson disaster, it really seems like the Browns are hedging their bets with quarterback now.  My guess is that Flacco is still seen as the old reliable that can play if need be, but they are just hoping one of the other three can separate himself. Somebody is going to be the odd man out by the time the season starts, so it makes for an easy daily storyline out of Berea come training camp. Still kind of thought that with the 2026 QB class so well thought of, building the other positions made more sense, but nobody is paying me to run a football team.

      2025 NFL Draft

      By Elmer ·

      I think the initial red flag is having Deion second guessing every coaching decision. Blabbering in the media about his kid being under utilized and unable to shine.   I think the secondary fear is Deion wanting to coach and turning the team ownership and leadership into a chaos and a clown car! The more talking heads I had heard, have reported that Shedeur showed up for interviews unprepared and unserious. And that is not how a #1 draft acts. it would be 1 thing if he was the most talented QB who played at a top ten school. But he played in a lesser division and as someone else stated, had to score a lot just to win (9-4 & 4-8).
