November 27, 2024December 1, 2005 by SirShanksAlot

Well, in the same spirit as my partner SirShanksAlot, it is now my chance to take a look at how my bold predictions for 2005 fared. But before I begin I would like to apologize to one of our readers. A reader by the initials of B.S. (not joking!) has sent us several emails over the last week asking for our opinions. I have tried to reply several times but keep getting an error message, if you have a different email address I will be more than happy to send you my responses or if you like I can post the answers online. I promise we aren’t ignoring you. Okay, enough of that, on to the predictions…

SirPuttsAlot Ranting

Well, the U.S. Open proved once again why it is the lowest rated major (IMO) on the PGA Tour.

New TaylorMade Driver Coming in December

November 27, 2024November 24, 2005 by SirShanksAlot

We have been hearing rumors about it for a little while and now TaylorMade has announced that the new R7 425 and 425TP will be released in early December. The date we have heard is December 9th so expect to see it sometime around then. A few online retailers have the new R7 425 on their sites and have December 11th as the release date. The technology is similar to the old R7 but with more discretionary weight to move around and a better shaft. There are pictures of this driver up on Golfwrx right now. The other new driver, the R7 460 won’t be released until spring 2006. Watch for updates on the TaylorMade website in the very near future.
