TaylorMade Golf has unveiled Corza Ghost, a mallet specially designed to be easy to aim, and easy to use to roll the ball down your intended line. It was designed with significant input from putting instructor Dave Stockton.

“We started with the intention of designing a putter that’s easier to aim than any other,” said Bill Price, Rossa senior director. “That led us to experiment with a white finish. We consulted Dr. Steven A. Hitzeman, a professor at the Indiana School of Optometry and he felt we were onto something.”

“Corza Ghost’s white putterhead stands out so clearly against its background – the putting surface – because of the high contrast between white and green,” said Dr. Hitzeman, who is also a past president of the Indiana Optometric Association and a past chairman of the American Optometric Association’s Sports Vision Section. “That high contrast maximizes stimulation to the retina and highlights the head’s shape and features. The contrast would be lower if the putter were black or gray because these colors are closer in luminance to the color of the putting green than white. White creates the biggest difference in luminance, hence maximizing contrast and promoting focus. Many golfers use the leading edge of the putter as part of their alignment strategy (by positioning the edge perpendicular to the imagined target line). So, this high contrast for the leading edge gives the golfer the best chance of squaring up the putterface at address. Also, the lines on the top of the putter are painted black to achieve maximum contrast against the white surface of the putter. All of these high-contrast alignment elements give the golfer the best possible chance of accurately aiming the putter.”

Behold, the TaylorMade R9 SuperDeep! Were extremely excited about this new driver. It’s the successor of the R9 510 TP and comes in a sweet black finish. At address the SuperDeep looks like a 410cc-420cc driver, when in fact it stands tall at a beefy 460cc’s. The sheer depth of the face is what makes this club look smaller than it actually is. It’s also the deepest face TaylorMade has ever produced, but were not exactly sure how many millimeters yet.

The new Taylormade Super Deep driver is setup to provide a medium trajectory, but it’s new MWT and FCT technology will allow for a total of 448 setup combinations. These combinations will allow you to alter the variable spin and variable launch. It’s also got 8WMT weights that will provide a total of 56 different center of gravity positions.

The Super Deep will come standard with the new Aldila R.I.P shaft that was selected and adjusted to feature a more tip stiff design, which helps maintain the launch angle through impact. It will be released to the public in March and available in 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 lofts. Can’t wait to hit one! And we’ll let ya know when we do!

Here are some great spy pictures and tour van video of the 2010 TaylorMade XFT removable face wedge. The main point of creating this club was so that the player can easily remove the face and replace it with a new one when the grooves wear down. Thus, eliminating the need to replace the entire wedge every time. (Click “continue reading” below for more spy pics)

Retief Goosen was testing the new 2010 TaylorMade R9 TP Version “B” out at the BMW Championship. These heads are Cast 8620 soft like the Burner Version “B”; however, you will see that they have a darkened color. Goosen really seemed to like them. He and his caddy said they were impressed with them on day 1, but he wont switch till after the tour Championship. The Black insert feels soft to the touch like a Rubber material. Pretty sick grinds and shape. They seem to be more like a typical players blade that you would expect the average tour pro or low handicapper to have.

The only difference between the 2009 TaylorMade R9 Hybrid and the 2009 TaylorMade R9 TP is MWT(Movable Weight Technology). The R9 TP has it, and the R9 does not.

Here are the latest spy pics of the new TaylorMade R9 Max Driver. It’s very similar to the original R9, but it’s a bit larger at 460cc’s instead of 420cc’s. It has been reported that it should be released in the US around June or July in the price range of $300 to $400 retail. We will keep you updated.

For now, here are a list of the main differences between the original R9 and the R9 Max:

R9 Max -460cc, One back weight port, Face angle adjustable by 3°, Loft adjustable by 1.5°, 45.5″ standard length

R9 - 420cc, Three weight ports, Face angle adjustable by 2°,  Loft adjustable by 1°, 45″ standard length

The newest driver from the TaylorMade machine should be quite impressive, to say the least. Rumors are still flying around about it’s actual release date, but it sounds like it could be as late as 2010. We will keep you updated as we find out more, but for now here’s what we do know about the club.

The R9 will feature full adjustability in that it will combine 3 movable weights with TM’s newest technology-Flight Control Technology (FCT). FCT gives the golfer the ability to adjust the club head to affect face angle and loft. MWT and FCT give 75 yards of left to right adjustability, 3 degrees of launch angle adjustability, and up to 1800 rpm of spin adjustability. The club head can be rotated into one of eight positions, giving the ability to adjust from 2 degrees closed to 2 degrees open (actual measured face angle will be square to four open, though visually, 4 open looks 2 open to the golfer). This is done by a wrench and turning the club head onto the axis of the shaft. The three movable weights are in similar positions to r7 Limited. The result to the golfer will be the ability to have an open club face while still promoting a draw, for example.

It’s really 24 drivers in one.

The club head has a large address, similar to the r7 SuperQuad, though TM did not make this as large a club head as the Burner, for example. This is, according to TaylorMade, the optimal size demanded by the most discerning players.

They are launching this on Tour at the end of January, though many Tour pros have been testing the club already. Some say that it is the best driver ever produced.

The stock shaft on it will be Fujikura’s brand new Tour platform, called “Motore” and it will be the only club in the market with Motore in the stock offering. TP shafts will be offered at a $100 ($499 street retail) upgrade and will be assorted offerings from Fujikura, Mitsubishi, Matrix, and Aldila.

There is NO difference in the head between the TP and non TP versions. The
driver will not have any TP graphics on the head. Only the shaft upgrade makes up the difference.

The FW metals will have a TP on the head. No difference in the head… just the graphic. There will also be a Rescue with the same technology. The name is simply “Rescue”.

All in all, pretty exciting news! Again we will keep you up to date as new information is released, so stay tuned!

The iron on top is a forged version of the new TaylorMade TP 2009 cast iron set. Recently they have been seen on tour being played by players such as Sergio Garcia and Dustin Johnson. As of now we are unsure if TaylorMade plans on releasing these to the public, but we will update with more information as it is released.

The TaylorMade TP MB Iron is by far one of the coolest looking irons we have ever seen! It has a glossy black finish called “smoke”(similar to the gun metal finish by Scotty Cameron) along with a super clean looking design and shape. These irons are also however one of the smallest/thinnest sets we have ever seen. The thinness of the top line at adress is bound to freak any “non-super ball striker” out, especially with some of the lower irons. Regardless, these are still some really slick looking clubs that you may definitely want to consider, if you think you have the ability to play them.
