The Taylormade SLDR no longer has the face angle adjuster in the sole plate, which claimed to adjust the face open, closed or neutral in the R1.
Personally I really didn’t see much difference when i adjusted it but some may have found it to work for them. For me this no longer being there is a bonus and something that I found unnecessary and complicated for the club golfer to understand and use to its full potential. Very few people knew about the R1 app that they launched to help golfers set up their R1 and as one customer said “if i need a computer program to help me set this thing up it’s too bloody complicated and not for me”.
Before the R1 had two weights 1 gram in the toe and a 10 gram in the heel and you could swap them round if you want a neutral set up. Now with the Taylormade SLDR its a 20 gram weight that claims to have double the influence on the COG and it now has more than the 2 positions of the taylormade r1 driver as it has 21 different COG locations in the face.
The Taylormade SLDR does still have the loft adjusting hosel of previous models which is still needed as with the lower spinning performance you tend to have to add a little more loft to help produce higher launching lower spinning drives. The sliding weight is nothing new as I can distinctly remember a Mizuno driver having something similar however Mizuno decided to have the weighing at the back of the head rather than what the Taylormade guys prefer forward close to the face.
This unfortunately was the case for not just me, through the custom fitting I have done over the past 12 months I have seen the same reaction from customers trying out the R1, Too low spinning and on off centre hits some really horrible unforgiving flights were observed. If your a golfer who wants the premium drivers and is looking for an improvement on the R1 and want to stick to a Taylormade product the SLDR is definitely the driver for you. Related items:
