I bought a weight kit to go with my TaylorMade R1 Black Driver and spent a few hours dialing it in. The results that can be achieved are amazing. The technology and adjustability is top notch but I just couldn't imagine playing that thing on the golf course. Then I saw the black version and had to see it in person. Just perfect at address and makes you feel like you can crush it. Excellent gloss finish with the Taylormade T in just the right spot on the head. Swing this thing and listen to the effortless "whoosh" sound it makes cutting through the air. The first step in R1 tuning is centered on loft and the adjustments are made via the adapter at the end of the shaft, which has a few new settings when compared to previous taylormade r11 irons for sale. The result is a 4° range of lofts to choose from – seven settings from 8° to 12°, in addition to five settings with an upright lie angle. The R1’s sole plate is beefed up compared to previous models, with 7 positions ranging from 3° open to 3° closed. It seems simple enough, though there is a somewhat confusing element to it. The sole plate is used to offset loft changes, so a driver set at 12° loft will need to have the sole plate set to 3° open to achieve the appearance of a neutral face angle. If that sounds confusing, it’s because it sort of is. I’d love to see this simplified a bit in the future. With the factory settings I had a high fade right out of the box. After 2 tuning sessions I now have a medium trajectory with a straight to slight draw flight, which is exactly what I wanted to see. The fit and finish of the Black R1 is fantastic also. I didn't care for the look of the white R1 driver for sale, so I was thrilled that they came out with the black. The R1 is sporting a racy new paint job on top of its white crown. As I briefly mentioned above, it’s been likened to war paint in TV advertising. One incredibly valuable result of the new graphics is that it’s so easy to tell which Tour players are using the R1. Even at a distance, the burnt orange, black, and gray makes it clear that this isn’t an R11. With adjustable drivers like the R1, loft changes alter face angle. The r11s driver best price was the first TaylorMade driver to offer a sole plate, which is designed to give the consumer the ability to get the face angle back to the position of his or her preference. For the sole plate to work, the driver must be grounded at address. I gained roughly 20 yards over my Ping G10, but the best part is keeping it in the fairway. Now that it is dialed in, I absolutely see an increase in accuracy over my G10. Admittedly, I haven’t been a fan of the sound that subsequent TaylorMade drivers have produced. That is, until the R1 came along. Source from: http://www.pfagraphics.co.uk/article-405-Great-TaylorMade-R1-Black-Driver-with-a-great-price.html
