TaylorMade have been moving the needle of driver technology for more than 40 years now. Hannah Holden went to California for a history lesson

There’s been 41 years of TaylorMade driver evolution since they released their first metalwood to the market in 1979. In that time they have brought out some of the most iconic drivers in golf.

We wanted to take a look at just how much the technology has improved over the years so we headed over to the Kingdom at the TaylorMade headquarters in Carlsbad to try out six decades of the brand’s drivers out.

Want to know how we got on? You’ll have to watch the video to find out…
