Went home and ordered one and after testing and tweaking the lie/loft combo to find out what worked for me I put it into play. I decided then and there sometimes it could be the club. First swing I ever took with the club hit it right at 270 down the middle with a slight draw, which is about 20-30 yards further than I was getting with my old driver. He had an RBZ and finally convinced me to hit it on one hole. Was playing with a co-worker and struggling off of the tee on every other hole with my old driver.

I tell ya, I've never hit a driver so far since Jimmy Carter took it in the arse from Yasser Arafat. I finished 18 with a 97 and my new Rocket Balz driver. Kathy is a sport about it and teases me that she'd ride me like the lone ranger if I could still make my willy work. Well, Kathy and I spun around all 18 holes and made several stops at the mens room (and behind trees. That's a 10 yard gain over my normal drive with my Ben Hogan Apex persimmon with steel shaft. I took the RBZ driver out to my home course, Shady Acres, and hit my first drive 163 yards. Sometimes a grumpy old man can get a deal. He told me that it normally retails for $499 and let me have it for $399. I went to Golfersmith and a charming young salesman introduced me to this fine driver. Trust me, not something you want to go through. I have trouble holding my bowels after the last polup was found in my large intestine. It's difficult for both of us because she has to monitor my blood pressure and maintain my colonostomy bag. Nowadays, I'm lucky if Kathy, my nurse, will let me go out for an afternoon 18 holes. I won top honors at the Mid-Western and cleaned up at the Pebble Beach Open. 20 years ago I was a scratch golfer and a regular on the amateur circuit.

Great looks the club head appears huge behind the ball and simple adjustability why would you buy the R11 ? The club feels light and easy to swing encouraging you to really go after the ball. With that difference it was not a diificult choice to purchase it.
the launch monitor put it 18 yards longer carry than my previous R7 CGB driver. However If you’re struggling to hit the ball and want a confidence inducing club it’s well worth a try.Īfter a fitting brought the RBZ Driver.

Hugely disappointed!įor me the RBZ Driver works well enough in terms of distance and forgiveness however it the lacks the refinement of other drivers in its price bracket, the look of a club is a very personal thing but in my opinion it looks a bit cheap and it doesn’t feel great of the face, just feels dull to me.
On reading several comments In Golf magazine I ordered this Driver in March 2012.The Club looks great but the grip does not feel right compared to my previous driver from Call away.As an average golfer 18 handicap it gave me about 10 yards more on average.I would not recommend and it is frankly an expensive purchase. The TaylorMade RBZ Driver is available in three lofts: 9.5°, 10.5°, HL Looks: 4.5 Feel: 4.3 Forgiveness: 4.0 Distance: 5.0 Dispersion: 3.5 As always, we would suggest a proper custom-fitting and it’s also worth pointing out the adjustability – golfers can alter the loft and at this price, this is exceptional. Ian also said he preferred it when it came to forgiveness to the RBZ’s more prestigious brother, the R11S.Īs you might expect it scored top marks for distance sitting at the top of Chris’ yardage stats and also featuring in the top five for four other testers. The one thing that perhaps did let it down was dispersion – the boys did spray it about a bit. Jon suggested it was one of the most forgiving on test, while Ian felt the overall look suggested it was towards the more expensive end of the market. Tester Chris loved the colour design – the white head and the green worked well for him– and he also noted how well the ball came off the face. It’s already notched a win on Tour with Luke Donald at the Transitions in mid-March. TaylorMade have invested heavily in their RocketBallz franchise for 2012, and while there has been huge interest surrounding the brilliant fairway wood, the driver is impressive too.
