PERSONALIZED INSTRUCTION
Legend tier subscribers will have access to MyTaylorMadeCoach™, a virtual coaching experience which connects the user to a PGA Teaching Professional. Users will receive in depth swing analysis from their coach, a personalized roadmap to success and relevant lessons to help improve their game.
After uploading videos of their swing, golfers receive corresponding analysis from their MyTaylorMadeCoach, who will provide a breakdown and rating of the user’s setup, turn, lever, path, release and more.
A roadmap is then created to take the user on a journey through each swing element with a focus on one area of their swing at a time. An immediate relationship is established between golfer and their MyTaylorMadeCoach, as they work together through submitted swing videos and subsequent analysis.
As the golfer completes each lesson, the coach evaluates and determines when the golfer is ready to move on to the next step of their roadmap.
SCORES, STATS AND INSIGHTS
Data is a constant on the PGA Tour and will be a constant for the MyTaylorMade+ user.
Under the “Play” tab, users will have access to MyTaylorMadeOnCourse™ (formerly MyRoundPro) giving them GPS tracking and advanced statistics and analytics specific to their game and their equipment. The golfer’s data will link directly to their MyTaylorMade+ account to drive personalized insights, content and drills to help them improve in areas specific to their game.
MyTaylorMadeOnCourse will provide users with in-depth statistics and analysis, including scoring averages, Strokes Gained, fairways hit, greens in regulation, sand saves and putts per round. As golfers track their rounds and enter scores, a MyTaylorMade+ handicap will be generated.
ACCESS TO GOLF’S SMARTEST MINDS
Beyond just data insights, MyTaylorMade+ utilizes a vast library of drills to deliver personalized instructional content specific to the individual golfer’s game in the “For You” section. Drills are separated into five categories: Overall, Off the Tee, Approach, Around the Green and Putting.
The instructional videos provide a Tour level approach to the golfer’s game powered by unrivaled golf minds, such as:
- Rick Sessinghaus – Collin Morikawa’s coach
- Me And My Golf’s Piers Ward and Andy Proudman
- GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teacher Joe Plecker
- TaylorMade fitting expert Chris Trott
- PGA Professional and renowned digital instructor Chris Ryan
- Fitness coach Ashton Roberts
FITTINGS
Booking a custom fitting has never been easier than with MyTaylorMade+. Users have access to one-on-one time to dial in their equipment with a TaylorMade fitting expert through in-person fittings or a virtual fitting. Results of the fitting are posted in the app and users can their purchase their equipment directly through MyTaylorMade+.
CLUB RECOMMENDER

Srixon Unveils the Z-STAR Series DIVIDE
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA – SRIXON®, a global leader in golf ball technology and innovation, announces the launch of the Z-STAR Series DIVIDE. The Srixon Z-STAR and Z-STAR XV DIVIDE golf balls are available in a Yellow/White colorway, and officially launch in North America on Jan. 21, 2022.
The Z-STAR Series DIVIDE combines Srixon’s 50/50 Visual Performance with our tour-level golf balls to offer a new ball that stands out on the course. With the new colorway on the Z-STAR and Z-STAR XV DIVIDE, putting alignment becomes simple and players of all skill levels can track their spin, especially around the greens.
These golf balls feature Srixon’s SpinSkin with SeRM, a durable coating on the thermoplastic urethane cover that digs deep into wedge and iron grooves at impact for optimal spin and control. Meanwhile, the FastLayer Core and 338 Speed Dimple Pattern work in tandem to produce exceptional distance and feel.
While it might look different, the Z-STAR and Z-STAR XV DIVIDE delivers the same standout performance that many golfers have come to expect from the classic Z-STAR Series golf balls.
“The Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE launch exceeded all expectations and bringing this same technology to the Z-STAR Series family will help get the DIVIDE technology in more golfer’s hands,” Schielke said.
Key Technologies:
- FastLayer Core: The new FastLayer Core starts soft in the center and gradually becomes firm around its edge, it gives high-speed players exceptional feel and plenty of ball speed for maximum distance. On the Z-STAR XV DIVIDE, a newly formulated inner core adds resiliency for even more ball speed.
- SpinSkin with SeRM: A high contract white and yellow thermoplastic urethane cover features SpinSkin with SeRM, a durable coating with flexible molecular bonds. It digs deep into wedge and iron grooves, maximizing spin for more control and stopping power.
- 338 Speed Dimple Pattern: Less drag and more lift boosts overall distance and flies straight, even in the toughest wind conditions.
