New Product Alert: 2014 TaylorMade Equipment

TaylorMade has most of it's new product out on the market now with another line coming in the middle of December. Their new iron line is the Speed Blade irons along with the SLDR woods. The new line coming out December 14th is the Jet Speed wood line. To compare woods with the 2013 models, the SLDR would be a replacement to the R1 and the Jet Speed would be the RBZ Stage 2 replacement.

The SLDR driver goes back to a more traditional look from the top and gets away from the white color. It offers a large number of options to adjust lie and loft and makes it easier to adjust than R1. This driver is more user-friendly and creates a little more swing speed than the R1 which in turn means a few more yards for you. This driver once again shows why TaylorMade leads in adjust-ability technology.

The new Speed Blade iron should become a great investment for a golfer that fits anywhere from the low-teens on up in the handicap spectrum. Forgiveness and distance have increased even more than previous lines. The Rocketbladez irons did not fair too well, especially after replacing the Burner 2.0. Well, this iron looks very similar in color and set up to the 2.0 and adds some of the hyped technology that increased distance with the first Rocketballz woods. It also works well the wedges aren't identical to the rest of the set and add a forged feel and look which is what most players prefer with a wedge in hand. I expect these irons to fair very well through the 2014 season.

The newest and not quite launched line is the Jet Speed woods. Like mentioned above, these woods replace the RBZ Stage 2 and are all about distance. Just comparing the two drivers; the Jet Speed is lighter and longer in length than the SLDR. These two components mean that this club is built for distance. Longer length and a lighter club both help increase swing speed which in turns help create more distance. If distance is more of a concern than being able to control your shot shape (hook, draw, fade, slice) then the Jet Speed is where you will want to be. The only similarity between this line and the SLDR line is that they both got away from the white head (seems it was just a bold fashion statement that has worn its welcome).
