Now with the R1, TaylorMade has a driver that adjusts 12 different ways for loft, 7 methods for face angle, and also boasts trajectory tuning. With the R1, the golfer can now go from 8 degrees to twelve with a single club. With the R11 driver, some purists cried \"foul\" when TM introduced a pure white crown, but numerous overall performance-minded golfers could not get enough. Golfers had been in a position to tinker with the loft, face angle at deal with, and trajectory.
The technologies that enables this is in the TaylorMade hosel style. There are seven standard lofts and in addition to this 5 upright loft options available for a total of twelve positions via the loft sleeve. In some of their advertising TaylorMade claimed that eighty% of golfers were using the incorrect loft on their driver. This could be challenging to confirm, but I discovered it fairly a delight to have so a lot versatility in my driver.
The sound of the driver is strong - much more of a thwack, and less \"tink\" than TaylorMade's last design R11S. The stock shaft providing of Aldila RIP Phenom fifty five is fine, but I would personally favor a return to the Matrix line of stock shafts. The Aldila feels a small whippy, perhaps even too mild at fifty five grams. That's Okay for many of us, who can use a small little bit much more clubhead pace,
TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 Driver, but may be too mild for the higher-swing-speed players.
Of program the most essential aspect in determining if this club is a great driver is how it performs. The R1 1 driver does quite well in this division. 1 fascinating be aware I discovered on TaylorMade's website is that when a golfer adjusts the loft down by 1 diploma the face opens 2 degrees,
Callaway X Hot Driver, and also if you increase the loft by 1 degree it closes the encounter two levels.
The look of the clubhead is not at all traditional. TaylorMade has adorned the cluhead with a graphic alignment gadget,
Ping G25 Hybrid, which like most anything, can develop on you (remember when all graphite shafts utilized to be grey or black?).
Numerous believed that TaylorMade would continue the pattern of naming their drivers following the years they were released,
Taylormade RBZ Stage 2 Hybrid, R7,
mizuno mx 200 irons, R9, R11 and this latest driver would be the R13. TaylorMade went in a somewhat different direction naming this driver the R1. It is a surprise. I would recommend the R1 driver to other golfers but likely those who want the flexibility to adjust the club as much as this club enables.
