  • what is your opinion and prediction of the winner

Opinion: It's a marketing hype shark tank knockoff to create yet another driver that won't hit the ball any straighter or farther than anything else on the market and a show for the GC to fill air time and sell ads. The OEMs just continue to make changes for the sake of making changes.

Prediction: Wilson will pay one or more of their staffers to bag one and a few suckers will buy them. Next year, it will be some other gimmick.

Release

I knew that racing stripe looked overly familiar, I just could not place it until I read your post.
The No Brainer...thx

      I'm surprised no one tried the smooth face or the vertical grooves.
      How long is the patent protection in this country anyway ? 10 years ?

      When the cost is lower with the more resilient composite material in the near future, we shall see a one piece head with internal weighing all "printed in" with the nano printing technology.
      Wouldn't that be the trick to order any color, logo and special features all from the "print shop" ?

          Like I said before...Who the f@%k buys a Wilson driver?
          ....and a $450 one at that

          Release I'm surprised no one tried the smooth face or the vertical grooves.

          If you are talking about the Triton, it does have a grooveless face(smooth).

              Wilson better prepare more funding for settlement.
              I hope they get some from TGC, I don't see this driver gross over a couple of million unless it found the way to sneak by the conforming board.

                Wasn't even paying attention to the face, The interchangeable sole plate and the price tag grabbed my attention.

                    Yeah, who cares about score lines on a driver face?

                        Why should the golf channel have an interest in the winning driver? Something stinks here!

                            Indirectly, I've been saying that!! The winning designer was once a DSG intern for design. Who loves DSG the most....The Golf Channel!!!!

                            btw, buy this driver tomorrow and get your headcover signed by Urlacher. And of course, free shipping.

                              What a total bunch of hooie.......I've seen more reality on Jerry Springer.......

                              Bangoman And?

                              Nothing, I did not notice the face of the driver and was reminded of the smooth face.

                                Just guessing, TGC might have a financial stake in this deal. They could have front part or the whole cost, thus getting a piece of the action.
                                Someone must believe a conforming driver will be so different that golfers will jump up to pay the asking price.

                                I'd rather see a line of driver offering different weigh configuration ( for different weight and length in shafts ) and a well balance design withOUT the 20 ways to adjust it. but an adapter for ease of changing shafts. Wouldn't every golfer get a few of the heads with custom paint and a bunch of shafts and be set for awhile ?
