And golf fans who have previously used their products quickly registered their disapproval, and compared them with other brands.
One guy called them overrated and listed a variety of other options he would rather prefer.
Taylor made is overrated i would never use their clubs. Bettinardi putters, cobra or callaway drivers and woods. Wilson staff irons and wedges. You’re welcome

TP Reserve sounds like what we were all trying to acquire during the pandemic

Some fans compared the new range to competitor brand Scotty Cameron who manufactures similar products and accused TaylorMade of copying.
They copied Scotty Cameron’s….interesting

From the above reactions, it is clear that TaylorMade has some unsatisfied customers they should attend to.
TaylorMade – a favorite among celebrity golfers
TaylorMade is preferred and supported by legend, Tiger Woods. Last year, after Woods’ accident, he performed at the 2022 Masters Tournament where he used a TaylorMade Stealth Plus+ driver, a 15-degree TaylorMade SIM 3-wood, a 19-degree TaylorMade M3 5-wood, and TaylorMade P-7TW irons. Tiger has also praised their irons by saying that they have been a part of his “22+ years of professional golf.”

Rory McIlroy also switched to the brand last year and opted for their TaylorMade Stealth Plus driver. He also uses TaylorMade Stealth Plus with 15 and 19 degrees of loft woods and their irons, wedges, and putters as well.
The brand boasts a variety of products. Woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, putters – they have them all. But it looks like their wide variety and celebrity endorsement are not enough to please the fans who are expressing their annoyance at the release of their new putters.
