TaylorMade Released Their Popular SLDR Fairway Wood
TaylorMade Golf has long been a leader when it comes to golf club innovation. The latest innovation by TaylorMade has the golf world buzzing yet again. TaylorMade recently announced the Taylormade SLDR fairway wood.
The SLDR line is no different with its metallic charcoal crown, brushed sole, and blue accents. The result is possibly the best looking fairway wood that TaylorMade has released in years. The benefit to this is that the profile of the SLDR looks more like a fairway wood and less like a miniature driver, a definite improvement by many people's standards.
"The SLDR weight slides on the track and never comes loose from the clubhead," TaylorMade says. "To slide the weight to any of the 21 positions on the track, simply loosen the screw, slide the weight, then tighten the screw. It takes as little as 10 seconds. And the sole is marked with the words 'fade' at the toe-end of the track and 'draw' at the heel-end of the track to make it clear where you should position the weight to promote the shot-shape you want."
The most recent push from TaylorMade with the introduction of the Taylormade SLDR driver is that of a more forward and lower CG, which is intended to promote lower spin and faster ball speeds. That same ideology/technology has been applied to the SLDR fairway and hybrid lines as well. Because of the CG movement creating much lower spin, the actual effective loft of the club has become more important as far as achieving optimal launch conditions.
By now most golfers know about the purpose of the Speed-Pocket and its role in impacting face flexion and ball speed. As years go by it is now clear that this is a technology in which TaylorMade has bought all the way into across their lines, but rather than settling with it, they are continuing to evolve and improve it. Anyone who has seen the previous models will instantly recognize the difference in the Speed-Pocket within the TaylorMade SLDR Driver [http://www.golfsetau.com/Cheap-TaylorMade-SLDR-Driver-Sale-307.html].
As far as the SLDR fairway wood goes on well struck balls, TaylorMade's belief in its length certainly seems warranted. Both off of the tee and from the fairway the club was legitimately longer than the Taylormade RBZ Stage 2 driver as well when hit side by side. In fact, the term "sneaky long" would definitely be applicable here. Interestingly, considering the typical effects of a more forward CG on the area outside of the sweet-spot, the mis-hits did give distance loss, but not nearly as much as expected.
It is impressive in today's golf clubs for sale industry to see a company developing what they feel to be a revolutionary technology. Frankly, the results seem to back that quite often, and with the SLDR Fairway wood the Speed-Pocket combined with the lower CG has made for a very interesting club.
