TAYLORMADE PERFORMANCE LAB OPENS AT TRUMP NATIONAL DORAL

State-of-the-Art Golf Club Fitting Facility Lets Players Customize Their Equipment
 

MIAMI, FL – March 3, 2015 – Donald J. Trump, Chairman and President of The Trump Organization, unveiled today the TaylorMade Performance Lab at the iconic Trump National Doral Miami. One of only a handful in the U.S., this exclusive facility uses cutting-edge technology to customize golf clubs for players. On hand to celebrate the opening was World Golf Championships – Cadillac Championship winner Justin Rose and a host of notables.

“It is my great pleasure to welcome a fantastic company, TaylorMade, and its incredible Performance Lab to the Trump National Doral,” said Donald Trump. “Golfers around the world appreciate the tradition of customized excellence TaylorMade represents, and it is yet another example of our commitment to make this the greatest golf resort in the country.”

TaylorMade Performance Lab offers Tour-caliber club-fitting experiences to golfers of all ages and abilities. Using a proprietary MAT-T 3D motion reality system, the Performance Lab analyzes players’ individual swings and stances to craft unique equipment specifically tailored to their needs. Previously reserved exclusively for Tour players, TaylorMade Performance Labs are now a premier destination for all golfers seeking the ultimate in precision, custom-fitted clubs.

In the facility’s two-hour fitting experience, the golfer dons a reflective suit utilizing more than 30 sensors placed on key markers around the body, which are combined with sensors placed on test clubs to provide information accurate to within a tenth of a degree. This gives the master fitting professional a comprehensive understanding of the golfer’s tendencies. Next, outdoor launch monitor readings are conducted to create a detailed list of recommendations for the golfer’s equipment needs.

TaylorMade’s fitting professionals are experts at taking the information from the indoor and outdoor testing to identify the right combination that will offer the golfer the tools necessary to optimize their performance, including drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, putters and wedges. Certain equipment can be built to the golfer’s specifications instantly onsite, offering them the ability to play with their new equipment immediately. Custom orders placed by TMPL patrons are prioritized within TaylorMade’s warehouse, meaning that once the order is placed, the TaylorMade custom line will have the order built and turned around within 48 hours.

“We are extremely happy to partner with the Trump National Doral to offer golfers the TaylorMade Performance Lab experience at one of the country’s most historic resorts,” said Ben Sharpe, CEO of TaylorMade Golf Company. “With four Championship courses, a one-of-a-kind LED driving range, the largest Golf Shop on the greens and the Jim McLean Golf School, Trump National Doral has assembled definitive offerings for a superior golf resort stay.”

Links magazine has called a custom TaylorMade club fitting “the greatest gift of all” for the serious golfer. Now, patrons of the Trump National Doral can enjoy another extraordinary experience that places the resort in the forefront of the world’s most exclusive golf clubs.
