TaylorMade Golf announces new partnership with Arccos Golf
TaylorMade Golf has announced a new partnership with Arccos Golf – a specialist in on-course data capture, Strokes Gained Analytics (SGA) and insights driven by artificial intelligence.
The partnership launches with a special promotion beginning on November 1, 2020 (in the US only). From that date, all golfers who purchase a qualifying set of irons at TaylorMadeGolf.com will be given the option to pay an additional $99.99 and receive a 1-year Arccos Caddie subscription along with a free set of Arccos Caddie smart sensors, courtesy of TaylorMade.
In the days following the initial launch, this special offer will also be extended to golfers in the US who purchased qualifying iron sets in the months of September and October 2020.

Speaking on the new partnership, David Abeles, TaylorMade CEO said
“As a company founded on performance and pushing the limits of golf club engineering, we strive to provide data-driven solutions to help the modern golfer play better and enjoy the game that much more. Whether it’s implementing technology in the design of golf clubs or developing our own independent archive of golfer statistics, we’re constantly advancing the way we use data. Through Arccos, we’re excited to provide a select group of golfers with access to accurate and relevant real-time data to help them achieve their goals.”
Starting on November 1, 2020, custom iron sets of 6 clubs or more of qualifying stock iron sets purchased on TaylorMadeGolf.com will include the option to add on an Arccos Caddie subscription for $99.99 (plus $19.99 shipping & handling), covering the first year of a subscription. Customers will also receive a free set of Arccos Caddie smart sensors, courtesy of TaylorMade, and have the optional upgrade to bundle the Arccos Caddie Link wearable for an additional $129.99.
Qualifying irons include P•790, P•770, P•7MC, P•7MB, P•7TW, SIM Max, SIM Max OS, SIM Max Combo, SIM Max OS Combo, SIM Max Women’s, SIM Max OS Women’s and Kalea.

Team TaylorMade Eagle loyalty members will be eligible for the same special pricing on Arccos Caddie – paying $99.99 for the subscription and receiving the sensors for free.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
