TaylorMade's Neat Custom Fitting Web Site
>> March 3, 2008
TaylorMade.com has a very slick (but who knows how good) custom fitting application on their web site. They let you plug in tons of stuff like typical distance, shaft type and accuracy (you drop balls on a fairway, err, in the rough). Once you finish, you click the recommendation button and voila.. time to buy a new driver!
The site is suggesting that I get the r7 CGB Max, 9.5 loft. Yea, not this year (unless TaylorMade wants to be my first sponsor and sends me one)...
Loft
r7 CGB MAX players who generate average distance with their driver typically achieve the best results in terms of distance with a medium-to-high degree of loft, which delivers the optimum combination of high launch angle and low spin-rate.
Shaft
The shaft and its specific performance characteristics are recommended based on your swing style and skill level; on your current shaft's flex and weight; and on your current driver distance, trajectory and shot-shape.
Shaft Flex
Based on your current shaft's flex and on the trajectory, shot-shape and distance delivered by your current driver; this recommended flex will offer you the optimum combination of clubhead speed, control and feel.
Shaft Weight
Based on your current shaft's flex and on the trajectory, shot-shape and distance delivered by your current driver; this recommended flex will offer you the optimum combination of clubhead speed, control and feel.
This club is $299 at Golfsmith... maybe next year.

I have had a Ping Rapture driver for just over a year, and I feel like it is already outdated. I love the club and don't want to buy another new driver, but it seems like drivers are outdated after 6 months. Am I the only one on this planet that wishes the club companys would stop making new clubs right after you spend 400 dollars on a new club?
The industry messes with your head to get you to upgrade early and often. If I found a club I could hit straight, I'd NEVER let it go!
You are certainly not the only one...
