This combined with the black clubface and non-glare white clubhead make the club very easy to align.
The forward CG provides faster ball speed, high launch, and low spin.Īs with the R1 driver TaylorMade is one of the first to introduce crown graphics to the clubhead to aid with alignment of the clubhead at address. In addition to this the CG of the clubhead was moved forward through inventive design of the crown of the clubhead. This was done carefully considering the aerodynamics that I mentioned earlier to be sure that speed was not compromised. It has been increased to an expansive 4,100 square-millimeters to give the player more confidence at set up. Still the ability to change the loft and ball flight bias is a nice technology addition to the Stage 2 driver.Īnother big change introduced to the Stage 2 driver is the size of the clubface. With the R1 a golfer can lower the loft and in addition close the clubface to compensate for the face being opened by the lowering of the loft. The loft sleeve offers 7 standard and 5 upright loft options. Conversely if you want to increase the loft to 11 degrees the clubhead will have have a draw bias introduced. So if you are using a 9.5 degree driver and change the loft sleeve to 8 degrees the club will be lower loft and will also have a fade bias that is introduced. This means when the golfer desires a lower loft they must accept that the face will be opened in the process. The RBZ Stage 2 driver is not as adjustable as the R1 because the golfer cannot change the face angle or the weighting of the clubhead. Along with the change in loft the club also provides 60 yards of adjustability by making changes to the loft sleeve. The biggest change from the original RBZ clubhead is the loft sleeve which provides the golfer the capability to change the loft of the clubhead approximately 1.5 degrees in either direction. TaylorMade states that they improved the aerodynamics of the clubhead to reduce drag to deliver a higher ball speed. TaylorMade did this with the Rocketballz Stage 2 driver. To get longer the easiest way to do this with the driver is to make the club lighter. In TaylorMade’s advertising they claimed that “Our longest just got longer-ier.” The -ier is of course their tag line for the entire Stage 2 product line. Join me as I go through the details of this RBZ Stage 2 driver.Īs with most TaylorMade clubs technology will always be a part of the equation. It is always a challenge to follow up such a successful club but leave it to TaylorMade to give it a try.įor this review I was given a 9.5° driver, with a graphite Matrix RocketFuel stiff shaft. TaylorMade has taken some of the adjustable technology and crown graphics that they offered in the groundbreaking R1 driver and they added speed providing a driver with more control and distance.
Hoping to continue with the fantastic success of the Rocketballz driver TaylorMade has released the Rocketballz Stage 2 driver. The Rocketballz price point is a bit below that of the R11s but still provided a great experience.
TAYLORMADE ROCKETBALLZ DRIVER SPECS DRIVERS
At my club among golfers who used TaylorMade drivers the Rocketballz ruled over the R11s by a two to one margin. It is my belief that the success of the Rocketballz driver surprised TaylorMade. For the 2013 season TaylorMade switched it up and released the R1 line and continued with the Rocketballz line, dubbing them Stage 2. Last year it was the R11s line and the extremely popular Rocketballz line.
Recently, TaylorMade has released two different driver and woods product lines.
