TaylorMade Golf introduces Kalea Premier women's range
TaylorMade introduces Kalea Premier, the company’s newest women’s range specifically engineered for lightweight speed, easy launch and max forgiveness.
TaylorMade Golf Company’s foundation is built upon the ability to bring the highest performing equipment to golfers of all skill levels. Today, TaylorMade introduces Kalea Premier, the company’s newest women’s range specifically engineered for lightweight speed, easy launch and max forgiveness.
Every club in the Kalea Premier range is backed by proven technologies and fully fashioned to deliver more long drives, more precise iron shots and more clutch putts.
"Kalea Premier is a combination of proven TaylorMade technologies, which are tuned specifically to give women in these segments the best performance, and the most visually stunning designs on the market," said Tomo Bystedt, Senior Director, Carbonwoods & Metalwoods.
"Our research has shown that women will no longer accept a half-hearted approach to product design in any industry. We've been continuously mindful of this and have created a design language that utilises a combination of rich colours and refined textures with premium materials to create a sophisticated and elegant product line for women."
PREMIUM DESIGN & PERFORMANCE
Speed, forgiveness and allure in a single driver. With a weight saving carbon crown and carbon sole plus a 22g steel rear back weight, Kalea Premier is engineered for advanced forgiveness by combining a low and back CG with an ultra-lightweight head construction that promotes faster swing speeds. Repositioning the Inertia Generator towards the heel encourages optimal launch and spin to fuel distance at moderate and slower swing speeds.
FINDING FAIRWAYS
Fairway woods play a critical role for many women golfers. Kalea Premier offers easy-to-launch designs with added versatility and a 37 percent larger face than its predecessor. Designed to optimise forgiveness, each loft is the same size and features V Steel™ technology with refined weight distribution for forgiveness, versatility and silky turf interaction.
EXTREME PLAYABILITY & EASY LAUNCH
A versatile V Steel sole design helps the Kalea Premier Rescue™ produce high launching shots from any lie. The head features a unique design with a larger face than prior generation Kalea but with very low CG to promote forgiveness while maintaining a high, easy launch. The lightweight construction also promotes faster swing speeds and gives golfers the confidence to stare down any shot.
FEEL & FORGIVENESS
Kalea Premier irons are powered by Cap Back™ Design, which provides stability within the topline and upper perimeter of the face, working in conjunction with the Speed Pocket™ to optimise face flexibility, ball speed and distance. The Cap Back Design also helps minimise unwanted vibrations in the head to deliver a soft and solid feel. Head shaping has been designed uniquely for Kalea Premier to create Super Game Improvement iron forgiveness in a sleeker and more elegant overall profile.
TOUR-PROVEN SPIDER TECHNOLOGY
This modern mallet brings the renowned Spider stability and forgiveness to head shape that is 15% more compact compared to Spider Tour. Pure Roll™ technology encourages optimal forward roll, as well as better sound and feel, while a long single sightline delivers a simple but powerful alignment tool. The putter also features a specially designed 70g graphite shaft, which reduces overall club weight without impacting MOI and stability.
STYLE & FUNCTION
Kalea Premier has its own lightweight cart bag that embodies function and style. It features a premium heathered nylon material with seven pockets, a 14-way top and structured base, delivering a combination of functionality and clean aesthetics.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CUSTOM FIT
The all-new Kalea Premier emphasises TaylorMade’s commitment to providing women golfers of all abilities and swing speeds with the best performing golf clubs for them. Alongside the Stealth Women’s range, Kalea Premier will be available via custom allowing the golfer to choose the exact setup which suits them, including a variety of shaft and grip options available. Combined with the ability to tweak loft and lie, it allows the golfer to achieve their desired performance for every club in their bag.
