TaylorMade’s new driver is called the R1 and can be adjusted 168 different ways.
A player will notice that no loft is stamped on the bottom of the club; instead, the driver can be adjusted for any loft between 8 and 12 degrees. During an 800-player focus group, TaylorMade determined that 80 percent of golfers were using the wrong loft. The cheap taylormade r1 driver, the company says, also features up to 120 yards of left-and-right adjustability.
The R1 has a white crown, but it also features a new, sportier look, with diagonal orange-and-black stripes. The CG of the R1 is also moved lower and more forward in an effort to enhance distance, and an Aldila RIP Phenom stock, just 55 grams in weight, comes stock. The driver boasts a white crown, as well as an orange, black and gray graphic that is designed to help square the face to the ball at address for greater accuracy.
There is also lots of buzz around the new TaylorMade R1 driver, which Dustin Johnson, Brian Gay and John Cook used to win early-season tournaments this year. Adjustability is the big story here, and the R1 gives golfers the ability to make 12 loft-sleeve adjustments and seven face-angle positions. Players can also fiddle with ball flight through use of the two movable shot-shape weights.
All told, the Taylormade R1 driver gives them a total of 168 possible tunings, and what seems particularly noteworthy is the utter lack of loft numbers on these clubheads. A player only needs to get one head and then can use the adjustability features to manipulate it from eight to 12 degrees.
