A number of players at the John Deere Classic had TaylorMade's new prototype driver, SLDR, in play and the reaction was overwhelmingly positive.
The TaylorMade SLDR Driver features a bar on the sole of the club that allows the player to "slide" weight towards either the sole heel or the toe of the club, creating a draw or fade bias depending on which of the 16 available slots the weight is set in.
Shawn Stefani: "I love the way it looks and it feels great. It's a lot more solid feeling than some of the other Taylor drivers and it's not as tinny sounding. And it actually feels a bit softer than what I've been playing [the taylormade r1 driver]."
Boo Weekley: "I played nine holes with it and hit it pretty solid. I think it's a little hotter. I picked up some more ball speed. It's not as loud as the other ones and it looks different, but that doesn't matter to me. I'm just looking down at the bottom of the face trying to hit it as solid as I can."
Troy Matteson: "The guys who don't like it are the ones who already spin it low. For the guys who are high-spin long hitters, it goes a mile. I hit one 362 yards on 13. It's a beast. With the sliding weight, I think you can pinpoint the right setting better. Some guys like a tinny sound; some like a thud. This is right in the middle. A lot of guys out here grew up playing drivers that were filled with foam. Those guys really like the thud sound. Earlier this week there were guys fighting over this club because they only brought like 20 heads."
