Moveable Weight Technology is it just Marketing Hype?
Fri, 18 Sep 2009New Patent Application From Callaway
A new patent application by Callaway has just been published that might shed some light of what Callaway’s new driver for next year might look like. Some shocking information here guys! First of all it is nice to see that they will address bulge and roll in this new design…unfortunately they only did it for visual appearance…oh well. There is still a lot that can be done in regards to bulge and roll in my opinion to help golfers…but they still keep missing the boat on that one.
Shocking Piece Of Info!
The next shocking piece of info inside this application is the fact that they are still only moving small amounts of weight on the head. It has been proven that all these small increments of weight that all the companies so famously claim can move mountains do almost zero in regards to actually moving the CG (center of gravity). Yes…sorry to inform you guys but in almost every type of testing you can do in regards to driver head design…there simply is no proof that MWT in it’s present form does anything at all in reagrds to changing ball flight pattern. You have to move much more weight in order to effect CG.
I know you are saying…well Taylormade and all the other MWT drivers claim you can move the ball 75 yards. It is just not true. And this new driver design by Callaway looks no different on paper or I am sure in any software that will compute CG changes. So why go to all the lengths of filing a patent and R&D work when you know you really aren’t going to provide any benefit to the golfer? I just don’t get it. Many of these places employ rocket scientists. And they still cannot come up with a technology that works.
