Taylor Made Golf Clubs

The Metal Wood
That Changed the Face of Golfing
Taylor Made, like many golf manufacturing companies was started by a golfing fanatic. Gary Adams was an entrepreneur who spent as much time on the golf course as humanly possible.

His singular claim to fame was the development of the metal wood that literally changed the face of golf forever.
In 1979, Adams's patented, stainless steel Taylor Made Metal wood clubs made their first appearance at the PGA Merchandise. The odd looking clubs did not exactly take the golfing world by storm. The average golfer was not exactly ready to spend his or her hard earned money on a strange looking golf club made by an unknown company.
Gary Adams knew that unless he could convince professional golfers to use and recommend his golf clubs, the average golfer would never even consider buying them. It was a herculean task, but somehow Adams convinced 47 professional golfers playing in the 1979 PGA tournament to use his Taylor Made Metal woods. Fueled by this exposure, skeptics turned into buyers and sales began to rise. By 1983 Taylor Made Metal woods were prominent on the PGA tour and soon metal became the preferred material used in the golf club manufacturing process. Adams' aggressive pioneering had borne great rewards.

However, the what have you done for me lately syndrome ran head first into Taylor Made. For the rest of the 1980s, while other golf club manufactures were making great strides, nothing new came out of the Taylor Made factories. In fact, it wasn't until the mid nineties that Taylor Made introduced its new Burner Bubble driver. The driver's innovative shaft, that helped golfers swing faster without exerting extra effort, became a success after a prototype Burner Bubble driver became the first Metal wood to win at the Masters. However, the metal wood concept was so popular that Taylor Made continued to grow and prosper.
During that static period, Taylor Made, like many companies that start with a great idea but can't follow through, knew that the entrepreneurial vision needed to be replaced with a corporate structure. In 1984 Taylor Made was acquired by French Ski equipment manufacturer Salomon S.A. It was a good merger for both entities. Salomon received a strong entry into the rapidly growing golf market and Taylor Made got financial stability and a more organized management structure.
The corporate stage of Taylor Made's growth was led by George Montgomery. He led Taylor Made from the sixth largest golf manufacturer in the United States to second, only behind Callaway Golf. Taylor Made also produces a line of golf bags and stands.
In 1997, Taylor Made was acquired by Adidas, AG and became part of the worldwide Adidas sporting family. The company has continued to grow and prosper and is still one of the most respected names in golf.

I would suggest you go and have a word with your club pro, he should be able to sort out custom fitting for you. This is a must for any golfer who wants to get better, as far as what clubs to buy, DON’T think of what make to buy. Go and try several different models, and choose the one’s that you feel most comfortable with, and of course the advice of your club pro. You could also have some lessons with your club pro. But the best thing is to just go out and enjoy.
I have The mizuno MX-23, not on the list, but it proves to me that mizuno makes the best game improvement clubs out there. I would have to become a scratch player to want to give these clubs up, and if i got there, why change. Mizuno is top of the line. Look into the mp-57. Ive never heard anyone say they aren’t like hitting a stick of butter.
Mid Handicap Irons?
I Play off 18 which I have only recently gone up to from 14 after joining a new course which is very tight with difficult rough. I am having to “Learn” how to play sensible golf after spening 10 years basically just “Gripping and Ripping it” but this attitude is getting me into trouble @ my new course.
I am fairly knowledgable when it come to new equipment (You may have noticied that I am TOP ANSWERER for this golf section!!) so I am actually looking for people who actually have past experience of using the equipment they are recomending, NOT just their opinion.
I currently Carry:
Taylor Made RAC OS Irons, I have owned these for 5 years and have had them regripped, I am starting to wonder whether it is worth investing some time and money into getting fitted for a set of Irons and Maybe woods or whether this will just be a waste of time and money.
Clubs I like the look of:
Ping G10
Callaway X20
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Firstly for the arrogance which is “Flatstick”
I have no problem hitting the ball straight you pompus git, If you had actually taken the time to read the question and understand it (Or is that where the problem lies, your general understanding of basic english?) you would have realised that what I was explaining is that as I play more difficult courses that actually require you to think your way rather than blast your way round I feel the old style of my clubs which were manufactured and aimed at learners are not offering me any help regarding the feel and feedback they give back on every shot. What has actually happened is that I have left my local Municipal Course and have joined a quite exclusive members only course, due to the cost of membership the rough and sand traps are more controlled and thought out compared to the muni course which has sand traps at 175 yards as that was the average driving distance when it was first created and they have never changed it.
For James B and anyone else with half a brain (That rules you out flatstick!) here are some general facts about my game, hope they help with recomending.
Age – 26
Height – 6 foot 2
Average Driving Distance – 250 / 270
150 Yards – 6/7/8 depending on conditions
Weakness – I tend to twist my upper body through impact which pulls the ball, however I recently went round a local course using a set of Wilson DI7′s and although I didn’t particually get on with them I didn’t pull them once!
Most junior clubs are sold in sets, few companies sell individual clubs (US Kids Golf, Nike).
Ping has 2 different junior sets the Pal (6-8yrs 3’7″-4’3″) and the Moxie (9-11yrs 4’3″-4’11″).
Ping.com Manufacture plant Phoenix, Az. 1-800 474-6434.
You can call directly and see if they will sell an individual driver.
Callaway also has a junior set (XJ X-series 5-8yr/9-12yr Boys/Girls) I believe their plant has moved to Mexico.
******And right now if you move fast on rockbottomgolf.com under the “junior” tab you will find a Taylormade Driver 300 series(individual club K30 30″-49″, K40 45″-63″) normally priced $89.99 on sale for$19.99 w/ shipping $9.99. New/packaged.********
If your junior is 60″+ I’d look more towards a women’s driver.
Where can I find a decent driver for a junior golfer?
I’ve been on ebay and many online shops specializing in golf equipment but I can’t find anywhere that sells a decent junior driver. By decent I mean a top brand ie Taylor Made or Ping.
