Just curious as to why the 14* is so much cheaper than the 12*?

The 14 is cheaper for you have +- 1 1/2 degrees of adjustment on loft. At 14 if you turn it up to 15 it is more a 3 wood than a driver. At 12 degrees you can turn it down to 10.5 which gives you a more conventional setting. That is why it is not as popular. You want a driver to stay in driver degree range not to turn into another club.

sometimes it is based on what is selling.. they might be overstocked with 14s, so they cut the price.

Probably due to the fact the12 is a driver head and the14 is already competing with the new mini SLDR fairway club. It's being advertised "Say goodbye to your 3 wood" But you may want to contact Taylor Made direct for clarification.

Don't know but the 14 and 15 is basically the same design. Bought the 14 because no difference and $8k less

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

My guess, emphasizing guess, is that the price is cheaper because they already have the new Cobra Bio line out. I still like and use the amp cell clubs. If you get them at a highly discounted rate, more power to you, I say.

Hi, I really don't know why apparently a newer model costs less than the older one. As I wrote in my review, this product turned out to be a useless device, it could be because of a defect, I'm not sure. Maybe I should have bought an "EDIMAX" model instead. Hope you have a better luck. Regards,Agron

Larry, I haven't got a clue, but excellent question. I guess if I had to take a stab at the answer, I'd say that more people buy the 6 inch version than the 12 inch version. In other words, they can gouge the hell out of us by charging more for the most popular item. I own them both and they are identical except for the length. I remember thinking the same thing when I purchased mine.

Just a guess, but I suspect this is how the manufacturer protects their direct retailers while still allowing discounters like Amazon sell their products at significant lower prices. This model is $150 more at Lowes as of spring of 2014

Check out the price, an x9 is $120 +/- an XO would be north of $210+ XO's are identical they just use more carbon for lighter weight. If your referring to the picture to the left, that is an X9 type 2 just like the explanation below.

It was not twice the cost of all others when I bought it or I would not have. Lets be real here. I cant see any advantage that would justify the cost. If I was shopping today I would buy the Black and white 5614 set. It has flashing lights and 2 figures.

You are right. The bigger quanties cost .027 per unit and the 350 ct. is .014 per unit. I don't know why. I would purchase 7 of the smaller ct.

Probably the size and quality of the amp. Double check, but I think the $259 version has a 15 watt amp.

Please post a link if you know this specific model is on sale somewhere! :) I've seen the lesser versions (1810TZ and 1410) on sale and people confuse them with the 1810T, but this is the specific one I'm hoping to buy ASAP!

I had the exact same question. It's surprising not many have noticed the huge difference in the List Price between these 2 sets. Does anyone have an answer to this question??

Looking at the Yamaha site 'compare' it appears that there is almost no difference between the units except MHL. Interestingly the MSRP is the same so I can't explain why the $150 difference in price.

230 is just suggested retail. Many places will sell it cheaper. It is the same item. The only little difference there might be is this might be last years model. They changed the logo on the newest one, that's the only difference. Don't worry

Everywhere and everything I've read says 12 gauge. At 14, you only get 13 amps max and this machine is designed for max effectiveness at 13.5 amps. Although I was tempted to get a 14 ga since the cord would be thinner and easier to use and cheaper, I opted for the 12 thinking long-term and minimizing any opportunity for this machine to brick due to my lack of care or proper equipment. But that's just me and my two cents. :)

I think the largest difference is power and sub size. Both the 12 and 15s lack more of a high end, particularly if you don't have a dedicated subwoofer and crank the bass on these to compensate for more bass - this will drown out the high's even more. Another important thing is powering them properly; if you're sacrificing money on larger speakers instead of better power on amp/receiver, I'd get better power and get the 12s instead of 15s. I run these on a 100W/ch Yamaha receiver and find it very lacking. These speakers are meant for more power, and I have a decently small room. They still bump, but the receiver is holding them back severely. I think the largest difference is power and sub size.
