Was flicking through Todays Golfer and came across an article about the new, customisable drivers.  The icing on the cake of the trio on test, at a buttock clenching £649, is the TaylorMade CGB Max, possibly one of the best wallet lightening tools I've ever seen.  It's basically a driver head with 3 different interchangeable shafts and 9 (yes nine) adjustable weights in the head.  Apparently giving '1,071 different launch conditions', it allows you to change the club to suit conditions, although obviously only before, not during, a round (imagine waiting on a tee as the group in front rebuild their drivers!).

My question is who on earth is this aimed at?  A low handicapper will probably have already had their clubs modified to suit them and will probably have a couple for different conditions.  A high handicapper probably hasn't got the control or technique to utilise a fraction of the adjustability.  So it must be for the mid handicapper with more money than sense.  Just how cynical can you get?  

Yes definitely think its aimed at the Golfer with more money then talent who needs the latest gimmicks.

Must admit I don't mind the interchangeable shaft technology if used purely to aid the custom-fitting process. However letting it loose on consumers is asking for trouble. I predict a series of accidents where heads fly off shafts to be lost in water hazards when Johnny No Star has forgot to tighten the shaft up properly before the round.

HAHAHA...... 

Now i would pay money to see that!
