What we used to know as Flight Control Technology in previous TaylorMade drivers is now called Loft Sleeve Technology in the new Taylormade RBZ Stage 2 driver. The sleeve has been updated to adjust to 12 positions within the window of 1.5 degrees of loft adjustment. The driver is available in either a 9.5, 10.5 or 13 degree model, and with the Loft Sleeve Technology, offers up to 60 yards of side to side adjustability.
TaylorMade have moved the CG further forward and lower than the previous cheapest Taylormade RBZ driver. They found that a lower, further forward CG promotes a faster ball speed along with a higher launch, perfect for more distance. The crown thickness now varies from 0.6mm to 0.4mm (previously a consistent 0.6mm on the Taylormade R11S driver). This process saved three grams of weight, making the clubhead even faster through impact.
One of the first things golfers will notice with the RBZ Stage 2 driver is the new crown alignment decals. Combining the new 4,100mm black clubface, the new decals have been developed in accordance with Dr. Steve Hitzeman, Professor of Sports Optometry.
The movable weights in the Taylormade R1 driver allow players to alter their shot shape. By moving the weights, you can alter the clubhead's CG (centre of gravity) by up to 5mm, to promote a draw or neutral trajectory. A further seven face angle settings combine to further enhance the look at address and flight of the ball. A key aspect of the adjustability in the R1 is that loft and face angle can now be adjusted independently of one another.
While a lot of the technology in the TaylorMade R1 driver is hidden inside and on the under-side of the club, the crown graphics are sure to get a lot of attention. The "V" shape on the crown is designed to provide a frame at address to help alignment and heighten focus.
Finally, the cheapest golf clubs TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 driver is completed with a Fujikura RocketFuel shaft and lightweight grip. The TaylorMade R1 driver is pricey but the sound, feel, forgiveness and loft options are all top drawer and in our opinion this is one of the better drivers TaylorMade have created in recent years.
