Taylormade drivers are generally considered the most highly advanced and best golf drivers in the industry but I have recently begun to wonder what they will do next. Taylormade have been the guys to first introduce customization into the game. They introduced moveable weighted technology in their R7 quad drivers and since then drivers have leaped forward with other customization features to the point where I think they have hit a brick wall.
Taylormade have recently launched the R11 golf driver which has been considered the best and most adjustable driver in golf. It is a very handy piece of equipment as you can adjust it to get the absolute most out of the driver. There are so many options on it so you can virtually change anything including the shaft. This is where I think that they have hit a brick wall or where driver technology should at least slow down. I think this is because drivers nowadays are virtually already maxed out to the limits that are legally allowed and now with the customization features there is almost nothing else that they can do to them. The way I look at it is that the latest drivers are pretty much for life until some massive improvement in technology comes out.
For example say you buy a customizable driver right now I reckon you will not need to change it for a very long time. If your swing gets out of tune you can change the features on it. If your swing starts to get faster or slower you can again adjust it to counteract it. If you really had to or wanted to you could even buy a new shaft and simply swap them around. So because of this I really think golf drivers are hitting a brick wall. The only other advancement I think that they can make is via the discovery of a new technology. Off course in the mean time they can paint them white or pink or red but that is all just a marketing stunt to resell a product that already exists.
As for now I am really curious as to what will happen in the future for golf. Unless the rules for equipment change which I don't think they will then I doubt we will be seeing anything completely new for quite some time. I hope that you have enjoyed my article.
