I was thinking about Taylormad and Cleveland because my bag has TM long clubs and Cleveland wedges. I would think the weakness in each company is complimented by strength in tha other. I have had TM wedges and go back to Cleveland. I have had Cleveland long clubs and gone back to TM. I just dont get the impression that a lot of TM wedge players are in that special place with their wedges. I could be wrong. I have not researched extensively on it.

Hmm. Half the overhead and a combined larger market for the merged company. If those companies are public then share values could go up if it happened. I wonder if their respective product lines really are complementary.

Cleveland is owned by Srixon who intends to bring their woods and irons to the United States so for that reason and others stated I don't see it happening.  TM would have a better shot acquiring SCOR or Hopkins if they were looking for a wedge company.

If it did ever happen it would be one step closer to TM's wrold domination!!

Thet already have Admas Golf, they took on the Rosa brand and i seem to have read somewhere the Ashworth range may be part of TM?

I hop it doesnt get to a point where 2 of 3 "Super companies" own the other brands.

    • Day 3:  I tried to hit a bucket at the range but an 80 year old man (he told me his age, showed me his knee replacement scars, told me all about his chronic low back pain, etc) couldn’t pass up the opportunity to mansplain to me every little thing I’m doing wrong.  Dude, it’s my third frickin day.  I know I need to twist my hips more, I know I need to keep my head/chest down and not pop up, I know I need to hit through the ball and follow through further, yada yada yada.  I know.  That’s exactly what I’m trying to work on.  How about you tell me or show me how to do those things instead of telling me to watch Iron Byron videos?  Rough day.  
    • Day 132: 5/7/24 Full Speed Spectrum Training session 8/24. 7th training program overall.    Another slow session but 4 mph faster than my last session, which was my slowest ever. Going to the doctor on Friday to check on pulled neck muscle.
    • Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.
    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.
