I get what you're saying, but the design elements just aren't that important to professional golfers. As I mentioned - the speed slot thing is from Adams and is very old. TM just threw marketing at it and suddenly people like you (no offense) think the rocketballz stuff is new technology when it's not. Most of the tech right now is for amateurs - the loft/lie changes on the fly have been around forever for pros - VJ was bending his driver open 4 degrees a decade ago. Same with adding/removing weight to the head, it was just hotmelt instead of screws. Square drivers, cavity backed, multi-compound heads, etc - none of it has improved a well struck shot since they locked down the COR. It's not like Low spin/high trajectory is a new idea, it's just being advertised as such.
If you compare the "innovations" between Ping, Taylormade, Titleist, Callaway, Nike, Adams, and Cleveland right now - I'd like to hear who has "proprietary technology" that actually matters to a pro. Because pretty much all the pros bounce around between equipment companies at different points in their careers, and there's no way they'd do that if anyone gave them an actual advantage or disadvantage (minus the guys pulling down Rory money).
I'm certainly not arguing that flipping your entire bag to a new manufacturer won't have a negative affect for a while - but it's usually just because you've messed with what was working and these guys are extremely meticulous in their equipment setups. It'll take a while for Rory to get dialed in, and when you're working on your equipment you're not working on your game as much, but after a few months my guess is he'll be back to normal.
