In breaking news throughout the golf equipment industry, TaylorMade has announced that it is coming out with a new driver next month. Starting in early May,Taylormade will make available a limited-edition, "white" version of their very popular SLDR driver.
For those of you who are a big fan of the white headed drivers you are in luck as you probably have held off buying the new SLDR because it was only available in the dark grey colored head. For the rest of us you are probably not surprised at the new release since it seems to be a normal process for TaylorMade. Last year they came out with the white R1 driver only to be followed later in the year with a limited-edition black model.
Now I don't believe TaylorMade will claim 17 yards more with the white head SLDR driver over dark head SLDR but the low-forward CG technology in the SLDR driver has been proven effective in producing additional yardage if fitted correctly.
In Taylormade's own words:
“The white crown with black button-back delivers a remarkable appearance at address. Many golfers fell in love with white when it came out in 2011, and now we are delivering a limited edition white SLDR with low and forward CG for more distance when you loft up.”
-Brian Bazzel, Sr Director of Metalwood Product Creation
The white SLDR drivers ($399) will be available in lofts of 9.5, 10.5, 12 and 14 degrees with a stock Fujikura Speeder 57 shaft in senior, regular, stiff and x-stiff flexes. They’re currently available for pre-order, and will be available in stores on May 2.
