The new product from TaylorMade that will be on the shelves from the beginning of March includes some exciting new innovations. Their latest generation of drivers, the r9 SuperTri and Burner SuperFast have already dominated the tours worldwide with the SuperTri winning the driver count in its first week out on the PGA Tour and Martin Kaymer claiming the first win for the SuperTri at the Qatar Masters on the European tour.

One of the guests at the launch was lucky enough to win a trip in the TaylorMade branded Hawker Hunter fighter jet. Radio personality Ryan O’Connor (pictured above) was the lucky passenger that won the hour trip around Cape Town at speeds of up to 1 298 km/h.

The other product that will be available from March 1, 2009: the SuperFast Fairway woods, the new Z wedge with Exchangeable Face Technology (EFT), the new Burner SuperLaunch Irons and the new Spider putter.

Appearing on David Letterman was fun, but the coolest thing since winning the US Open is how fans pull for you more. Getting applause every time I walk up to a green. That's different.

In a blog I wrote during the Ryder Cup, I called it "one of the greatest experiences of my professional life." As I said then, I hope I can do this again in 2010.
