When TaylorMade first released the RocketBallz fairway wood, they claimed it would add 17 yards to a better player's game. Now, they are launching the TaylorMade RocketBallz Stage 2 fairway wood. The RBZ stage 2 fairway wood features a new ultra-high strength rocket steel material which creates a thinner and faster flexing face. the improved speed pocket design allows for faster flexing to promote faster ball speed and more distance. The lower and more forward cg promotes faster ball speed, high launch and low spin. The shallower, lower profile head shape allows this fairway wood to be playable from a variety of lies and provides a higher launch with ease. These are big claims, but when we tested the RocketBallz Stage 2 3-wood against the TaylorMade R1 driver, it was only 25 yards or so less carry, so this is a very powerful 3-wood. If you struggle with your driver and prefer teeing off with a 3-wood then the RBZ Stage 2 will be the answer as the distance gains are more noticeable when the ball is teed up. The engineers at TaylorMade claim that the graphics are primarily for alignment and the graphics live up to the promise. I don’t necessarily feel like I need an alignment aid for a fairway wood, but it isn’t distracting at all. At the end of the day, I do like the graphics – mostly just because it’s something different than I’m used to and it gives the club a distinct look. However if you like your driver, then this extra distance could create problems as you will increase the distance gap in your set to the next club down. When we spoke to European Tour player Paul McGinley at the launch he said that he had gone down a loft to a 4-wood and taken an inch off the shaft length to bring the distance back to the 235 yards he wanted. Why bother you ask? Well, the extra loft of the TaylorMade R1 Fairway Wood gave him a softer landing trajectory than his 3 wood so he can stop it better on all these par-5 greens he can reach in two shots now. Therefore some thought is required on the correct loft before parting with your cash. Do you want more distance from an easier teeing club, more distance from the fairway or similar distance with a higher flight from a lower loft. The choice is yours and it can be confusing so seek out a custom fitter to help. Source from: http://www.augolfequipment.com/article-318-TaylorMade-RocketBallz-Stage-2-Fairway-Wood-Review.html
