Birmingham,
2nd May - Technologies used in the aerospace industry such as
high pressure moulding design, rapid prototyping and CAD-CAM have
all been used extensively by Taylor Made in the creation of its
new Bubble 2 driver. The Ti Bubble 2 shaft and clubhead improvements
give golfers significant benefits.
Independent
research shows that 88 per cent of original Titanium Bubble driver
owners averaged 14 extra yards on each drive and hit three more
fairways per round since switching. "It's tough to improve
on those kind of numbers, but our experience in titanium and shaft
design has allowed us to bring club performance to an even higher
level than before, said Dick Rugge, manager of product development
at Taylor Made.
With the Ti
Bubble 2 the weight has been redistributed in the clubhead, translating
to greater speed and lower trajectory for increased distance. The
Titanium Bubble 2 clubhead's K-sole is larger and extends further
along the clubhead bottom, providing reinforcement for more solid
contact, even on off-centre hits. The initial release of the club
features and 8.5, 9.5, and 10.5 degree loft
Engineers at
Taylor Made are also using the new technology to build a better
shaft, one that is lighter, yet bigger and stronger. "We moved
weight down in the Ti Bubble 2, lowering the club's moment of inertia
to provide greater clubhead speed without extra effort," Rugge
said. In addition, this new shaft is lighter and easier to swing
and features an improved grip made from a new thermoplastic compound
that is about 25 per cent lighter than the original.
Ti Bubble 2
drivers are available in four flexes - S90 (stiff), R80 (regular),
M70 (senior/extra flex) and TS100 (tour stiff).
