On the other hand, we deduce that the RocketBallz Stage 2 is aimed at a wider range of players, from pros to high handicaps, who are looking for a plus in distance which is easy to get. The R1 offers longer distance with greater accuracy from the tee to pros and low handicap players, tuning the golf club to a maximum through its extraordinary adjustability. This is a completely different driver, which shares some technologies, the white colour and the quality level of the R1, but which targets a different player profile. You will be glad you did.Ma– After having tasted the excellence of the new R1 TaylorMade Golf driver, what could we expect from its brother for the 2013 season, the RocketBallz Stage 2? Will it be the cheap version of the R1?Īfter testing it… it is obviously not.
#Taylormade rocketballz driver hl loft update#
But it’s there and I would recommend anyone who is looking to update their woods to take these out for a test. You have to say the original RBZ 3-wood was a massive jump forward in how far a fairway wood can go, so the progress was never going to be so dramatic. The increase in the 3-wood is not so dramatic as the other two, rather incremental. I’m impressed how the RBZ stage 2 has moved on so quickly from the original RBZs, but you can feel the difference and see the results especially in the driver and Rescue 3.
The Rescue 3 also has been designed to have a lower and more-forward CG location for faster ball speeds off the face and has a higher launch angle imparting a lower spin rate on the ball. The Rescue 3 loft is 18.5° but can be adjusted up to 20° or down to 17°, which gives you plenty of options. TaylorMade also use their Loft-Sleeve technology which has 7 standard and 5 upright loft options to add ☑.5° to the standard loft. The Rescue Tour 3 also utilises the same improved speed pocket as the 3-wood. Coupled with the lower and more-forward CG location – which gives a higher launch angle and low spinning ball – it all adds up to some incredible distances from a 3-wood. This improvement helps the pocket flex faster to promote a faster ball speed. The 3-wood has an improved speed pocket design which first appeared on the original RBZ. The 10.5 model can be adjusted up to 12° or down to 9° and the HL 13 can be adjusted up to 14.5° or down to 11.5°. The 9.5 option can be adjusted up to 11° or down to 8°. The Thick-Thin crown gives the RBZ Stage 2 driver a more-forward CG location, which promotes a high launch and low spinning ball.
The driver uses a similar Inverted Cone Technology to the R1, which is milled into the inner side of the clubface and expands the portion of the face and produces a high ball-speed at impact. This club oozes power and inspires confidence. Great ball flight, plenty of forgiveness, and it just sits behind the ball perfectly. But I think the star of the show has to be the 3-wood.Īs I said about the first RBZ 3-wood, if you’re someone who leaves the driver out of the bag and are looking for a great 3-wood this is your club. I was impressed by the easy adjustability of both the driver and hybrid and tried it on the lower and higher settings, both working to great effect. If you’re looking for a new set of woods I wouldn’t look too far beyond the new RBZ Stage 2 set-up. And I must admit I didn’t think you could improve on the RBZ 3-wood, but this baby is a hammer of a club and the way it sits behind the ball on the fairway at address is like a work of art. Straight off I have to say I enjoyed playing with these clubs and just loved the adjustability of the hybrid.
