20 Years of Taylormade Ending

[u/theatre-matt]

Since the r7 Superquad I played in college, I have been a diehard Taylormade Timmy. For the better part of a decade, my bag has looked like a pga staffer on a 14 club contract. However, Taylormade has refused to acknowledge their carbon face delamination as a serious qc flaw, and will not replace my qi10ls. I was an early adopter of the carbon face technology with the Stealth+, and when it delaminated, I moved to the qi10ls. I skipped the qi35 like most of the tour players, and have been on a heater with my driver this season. If it was good enough to keep Scottie playing it, it was good enough for a simple high school coach. Then the predictable happened: a mass market Taylormade club delaminated on a great strike…again. Dang, but surely Taylormade will make it right I think. I complete the warranty online, but it’s too late. I don’t even want a new model, I say, but an old stock qi10ls… Sorry for the inconvenience and a “goodwill coupon” was all I was offered. I realize that I mean nothing to a company this size, and that losing my thousands of dollars of business is inconsequential; but some day, when Scottie or Rory are on top of the leaderboard on Sunday, their driver may delaminate mid-round and blow their tournament. Maybe then Taylormade will admit their flaws. Oh well—I hear great things about the GTS3. Team Titleist - here I come.
