I had had hand me down clubs for years, so I finally decided to upgrade to something modern. I am so glad I did. This cheap TaylorMade R1 driver was one the the best drivers I hit.
The capability to change the face angle is not new to the R1, as a golfer could change this with the both the R11 and R11S driver for sale, though there were not as many options as are available now. With the same wrench that one uses to change the loft the golfer now has the capability to change the face using the face angle sole plate.
As with any club TaylorMade makes, they have designed an enormous amount of technology into the driver. For the R1 Driver the first piece of noticeable technology is the capability of the driver to change loft. The technology that allows this is in the TaylorMade hosel design. There are seven standard lofts and in addition to this five upright loft options available for a total of twelve positions via the loft sleeve. In some of their advertising TaylorMade claimed that 80% of golfers were using the wrong loft on their driver.
The TaylorMade R1 Black Driver is the one driver model that can be tuned to fit Tour pros and amateurs alike. The thick-thin crown provides a lower and more-forward center of gravity location, thus promoting a higher launch, faster ball speed, and lower spin. Inverted Cone technology milled into the inner side of the clubface expands the portion of the face that delivers high ball speed.
One thing I can agree with TaylorMade on is that this sole plate design definitely has better wear. The cheap golf clubs R11 sole plates I have seen, much of the red paint that is put on the plate has worn off from play. This design has the information under a layer of plastic which should help the dial to be read easier after the club has been played for a while.
The graphics at first may put off a number of golfers, but many people thought TaylorMade was crazy to make white drivers and now it is very rare to play in a group of golfers who does not have a white driver. TaylorMade has such a strong presence on the PGA Tour that golfers at home see players using these clubs and see how they perform and issues like this are forgotten.
