TaylorMade’s Back In The Groove

November 15, 2009 by GNN

TaylorMade will be allowed to sell its TP xFT (exchangeable face technology) wedges after an appeal to the United States Golf Association last week.

The xFT wedges allow the faces to be changed with a torque wrench. The USGA had informed TaylorMade that xFT face plates with large U grooves could not be sold next year, prompting the company to file an appeal.

While the large grooves will no longer be made or distributed by club manufacturers starting in 2011, they will be for sale in 2010. TaylorMade argued that exchangeable faces should have the same deadline as whole wedges, which can be distributed with the larger grooves in 2010.
