Why buying second hand TaylorMade golf drivers is a good option?


Gary Adams started TaylorMade in the late 1970s out of his home in Illinois with an idea that the twopiece golf ball wasn’t a fad. Adams recognized the way irons interacted with the new balls and believed steel drivers would outperform the persimmon drivers of the day.

Adams had a breakthrough year in 1978 when he approached PGA tour pro Ron Streck with three metal woods. Adams metal woods outdrove some of the longest hitters on tour, following the PGA merchandise show Adams went home with almost 50,000 dollars in orders.

Ron Streck won the Houston Open in 1981 using the first TaylorMade driver. This is where TaylorMade’s drivers earned the name the ‘Pittsburgh Permission’ as they were using steel rather than permission to construct their drivers. Adams and Streck started stamping it on the toe of all their drivers, and it developed into one of their strongest lines throughout the 1980s. In the process, golf adapted to the popular “metal-woods” seen today.


In 1983, The Bruner and Tour Burner were introduced into the TaylorMade golf club range. Before no time they have

ambassadors, and just three years later the Burners became the number 1 driver on tour. The turn of the millennium saw the TaylorMade 300 and 500 series drivers released, which went on to be golfs number 1 drivers at the time.


TaylorMade released the R7 Quad in 2004, boasting movable weight technology which won 24 of the 48 tour events this year. The following year TaylorMade released the R5 which became the second most used driver on tour, with the R7 still being the most used. TaylorMade continued to use the R series until 2013, the drivers were some of the best on tour and dominated sales with the R series drivers.

As with most golf companies, TaylorMade maintains multiple endorsement deals with some of the world’s best golfers, including multiple ex world number ones, Tiger Woods, Rory Mcilroy and Dustin Johnson. When this article was written, Scotty Scheffler, the current world number one, has recently been signed with Taylormade Golf. The majority of contracted players have 13 or 14 Taylormade clubs in their bag. There are exceptions such as Rickie Fowler who’s deal only extends to golf balls.

More recently TaylorMade branched away from the R series and looked to push technology limits with multiple different models, Rocketballz, SLDR, Jetspeed, Aeroburner, M-series, Sim Series and now the Stealth series.


Due to the number of high end performing drivers released by TaylorMade, there are lots of used TaylorMade golf clubs, and more specifically second hand TaylorMade drivers available.

There is a lot of choice when selecting which used Taylormade Golf Clubs suit your game, it must be said that the second hand TaylorMade Driver market is arguably the strongest of any brand, with multiple major winners using them. Most noticeably Tiger Woods using the Taylormade M5 Driver to win the 2019 Masters, with one of the most spectacular comebacks in sporting history.

Although a M5 TaylorMade Driver would have been around £450 when first released. It is now common to pick up a Second Hand Taylormade M5 Driver for under £200. With the M5 driver’s value dropping by around 60% in just three years. This is a good example of why looking at used Taylormade golf clubs is a good option. The 2022 TaylorMade Driver range, ‘The Stealth’ is retailing at £469, around 6 months after its first release. TaylorMade’s 2021 driver the SIM 2 can now be purchased second hand for around £250.
