When it comes to Golf Engar limited, most brands follow a predictable playbook: Shula some stars and stripes in some patriotic slogans and call it one day. Taylormade could have done exactly that for this year’s US Open at Oakmont.
Instead, they have created something a little more interesting.
The heritage collection manages to honor both the championship and heritage of Taylormade himself in a way to feel authentic than to force. While the red, white and blue elements are present throughout the collection, they are balanced with a deeper story that links the establishment of Tayormade with the host’s place.
Pittsburgh connection
The star of the heritage collection is not just another flag -themed staff bag. It is a love letter about the story of Tayormade’s origin and the city that is waiting for this year’s championship.
In 1979, the founder of Tayormade Gary Adams created Pittsburgh Persimmon, a stainless steel driver that would radically change the game. The name was a deliberate node for industrial Pittsburgh, symbolizing a new era of metal wood in golf.
Within a few years, wooden drivers were essentially obsolete. Persimmon Pittsburgh had begun a revolution.
Fast Forward 45 (former) years, and Taylormade is celebrating that legacy with a collection that brings the full circle of Pittsburgh Persimmon Story while the US Open returns to Pennsylvania.
More than meets the eye
Inheritance staff bag It stands from the whole verse with its basic green-gray color and patriotic accents, but the true details are more delicate. ‘Pittsburgh Persimmon’ is written in the pocket of the upper values ​​and carries the belt. ‘Original Ori’ – another moniker for that first metallic wood – borders in 1979 to one of the rear pockets.
The heads of the head follow the patriotic theme with distinctive red, white and blue patterns, and they also exhibit ‘125’ to commemorate the 125th championship game.
Attention to the details It extends to elements like the vintage plaid lining.
The balls receive retro treatment
TP5 and TP5X heritage balls can be the most interesting part of the collection. Instead of the modern Tayraormade logo, they display the original blue scenario that the tall players will know.
The packaging follows the costume with retro models and golf ball projects decades old in dozens of boxes. It is the type of return aesthetics that appeals to players who appreciate vintage design.
The rest of the collection
Taylormade Heritage collection compilation are a pair of frame hats (a red, a blue) that represents the Taylormade logo, a pair of blouses (black/white), and, for my money, what may be the unsaid hero of the collectionA favorite handle for the tournament that represents the vintage logo at the closing section.
Why does this approach work
What makes the heritage collection worth noting is not just that it looks good – though it happens. That is why Taylormade found a way to celebrate both the championship and their story without making it or to feel secondary or forced.
Most US open dresses are forgotten. It serves its purpose for a week and then disappears in golf history. The inheritance collection It feels a little different. The type of things that collectors may want to own not only because it is limited, but because it tells a story.
Taylormade has always been a company built on innovation, but this collection shows that they understand their story as well.
Pittsburgh Persimmon changed golf in 1979. Forty -six years later, Heritage’s collection offers a golf Engar golf.
Tayraormade’s heritage collection It is now available in selected retailers and in Taylormadegolf.com.
office Tayormade returns in the future with the collection of inheritance first appeared in MygolfSSS.
