Club junkies and watch enthusiasts, unite! TaylorMade and TAG Heuer today announced co-branded collection, the centerpiece of which is a TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E5 45mm x TaylorMade Edition watch. The GPS-enabled smartwatch that pairs shot tracking with TaylorMade’s performance analytics.

Interestingly, the watch is designed to automatically capture shots and course position during a round, with the data analyzed through TaylorMade’s strokes gained platform. The goal is to provide players with a clearer picture of where they are gaining or losing strokes, while tracking trends over multiple rounds without requiring manual shot entry during play, according to a press release.

Golf-specific features include displays for longest drive, best score, most recent score, birdies made and rounds played throughout the year. Two exclusive digital watch faces developed for the collaboration draw inspiration from TaylorMade’s Spider putter line and golf course topography.

The hardware also receives several TaylorMade-specific design touches. The 45mm watch uses a Grade 2 titanium case with an engraved 18-hole bezel, a TaylorMade logo on the crown and a blue leather-and-rubber hybrid strap. A second textile strap is included.

Away from the course, the Connected Calibre E5 functions as a premium smartwatch, offering dual-band GPS, heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, blood oxygen measurement, smartphone notifications and voice functionality. Battery life is rated at up to 12 hours in golf mode or two days in standard performance mode, with fast charging capable of delivering a day’s use in about 30 minutes.

Of note for GolfWRXers, the release extends beyond the smartwatch. TaylorMade is also introducing a Spider ZT x TAG Heuer putter featuring exclusive cosmetics, including a TAG Heuer alignment aid, topographic-inspired graphics and matching accessories.

The collection also includes co-branded hats, gloves and a duffle bag and is available June 25.

Spotted: First look at Srixon’s new ZXi RKT drivers at Travelers

No time for a U.S. Open hangover (Even if you enjoyed some “grape” like the champion)! Just hours after the final putt dropped at Shinnecock, Srixon has tour-launched its new lineup of drivers.

On-site at the TPC River Highlands, host of the Travelers Championship, GolfWRX’s Tour Photographer Greg Moore captured the first look at the Srixon ZXi RKT driver lineup.

Starting with the name, RKT (most likely pronounced “Rocket”), Srixon seems to have a major focus on speed. If we combine our tour photos with images circulated by Srixon, we can identify four heads: a core RKT model, an LS+ version, a Max head, and then spotted on the USGA Conforming List this morning and in a Srixon media release, an LS+ head.

Each head features a newly designed sole. The beam that runs front-to-back on the older generation ZXi drivers and what Srixon has used previously is gone and has been replaced with a more streamlined design, arrowing to the rear of the driver head.

What is also new is the introduction of what looks like carbon fiber or a similar material (labeled Acousticore, more on this shortly) on either side of the new sole plate, which would be a new weight-saving initiative for Srixon. In previous designs, we’ve seen a carbon crown but nowhere else on the clubhead.

Each head type also features varying placements for adjustable weighting. Starting with the core head, there is heel and toe weighting towards the rear of the driver, along with a back weight port.

The ZXi RKT LS features both front and rear weight ports and a sleeker profile than the other heads, and a more pronounced toe. Finally, the ZXi MAX features a single rear weight, most likely the highest MOI of all the designs.

Srixon ZXi RKT Max

More photos of the Srixon ZXI RKT Max driver here.

The i-Flex face pattern on the previous ZXi face is now replaced with a new face design called “RKT Face,” which we’ll have to wait and see how the tech works behind that.

Another interesting development is that the carbon-looking material is labelled “Acousticore.” We’ll have to wait and see what it sounds like when struck, but in the past, Srixon drivers have been on the higher frequency when hit. This could also be the new design structure internally, stepping away from the Star Frame.
