TaylorMade was started in 1979 by Gary Adams. Adams was the inventor of the metalwood. As the name would suggest woods used to be made out of hardwood. Advances in technology however have allowed the use of very strong metals in the construction of woods. TaylorMade was founded by counting on the assumption that metalwoods would be something that will change the game of golf forever. The assumption was correct, TaylorMade has been consistently a leading brand when it comes to golf equipment since those first metal woods. They have continued to come up with great innovations.
In the late 90s TaylorMade was acquired by Adidas and a new era in the history of golf drivers began. The company was given a new direction in order to take over the market for golf drivers. It was able to achieve that goal right away and now it is the leading driver that is chosen and bought by more professionals and hobbyists thatn any other in the market. Just to give you an idea of how dominant TaylorMade drivers are it has been said that there are more professionals in the PGA tour who prefer to use TaylorMade than any other brand. But the company also makes irons, wedges, golf balls, and hybrids.
If you are thinking abut shopping for some golf clubs then here are some of the product offerings of TaylorMade:
