TaylorMade launch GAPR line featuring SpeedFoam

TAYLORMADE Golf, an industry leader in high performance product innovation and technology, have launched their GAPR line.

This is a trio of clubs - Lo, Mid and Hi - and that have unique identities and performance deliverables, providing golfers with clubs to fill gaps in the long game.

TaylorMade Product Creation, Metalwoods, senior director Tomo Bystedt said in a statement: “Nearly every golfer has a gapping challenge in the long part of their set, specifically, the difficult to-manage yardage between the longest playable iron and the shortest metalwood.

“With a majority of players not comfortable hitting 3, 4 and even 5 irons consistently to precise yardages or with any dependable accuracy and 5, 7 and 9 woods often difficult to control, TaylorMade set out to engineer a line of products that allows golfers to get the distance, carry and control needed to fill these gaps.

“The result is GAPR – three distinct products which invite golfers to choose their shape, find their distance and bridge their gap.”

In recent years, the majority of hybrid clubs have gradually evolved into extensions of the iron set or simply smaller fairway woods. Few compelling options for golfers to upgrade their hybrids exist unless they purchase them as part of an iron set. In each of models, their engineers have incorporated TaylorMade’s SpeedFoam technology, which was first introduced in the P790 irons. SpeedFoam serves the dual purpose of generating ball speed while also dampening vibrations to create optimal sound and feel.

The GAPR Lo was designed for players with faster ballspeeds. It is the smallest of the three models and features a low-forward centre of gravity for better distance with a mid-to-low trajectory.

The GAPR Mid is slightly larger in size than the GAPR Lo, the Mid was designed with players of all skill levels in mind. It has a centre of gravity that is ultra-low and forward for maximum distance and a mid-high trajectory.

Similar to the GAPR Mid, the GAPR Hi was engineered for the widest range of players. This is largest of the three models, the GAPR Hi features an ultra-low/back centre of gravity for maximum distance and a high, penetrating trajectory.

The clubs will be available at selected MST Golf stores from Thursday.
