In 2013 the R1 driver again has the golfing world buzzing with its crown graphics. This time Taylormade painted striped graphics on the the white crown. Actually it almost looked like it went backwards technology wise from the Taylormade R1 driver to the SLDR.
I had this r1 driver in the bag for 5 rounds this winter. I played in FL and the Dominican Republic with it. I can't say even once the graphics bothered me on the course. It has so much going on all over the place, between the T for an alignment aid, the stripes on the back and the big R1 it isn't the prettiest club.
I've found a few ways to get to those lower spin numbers I need, upgraded shafts or lower lofted heads, but generally speaking, it is custom upgrade to find the ideal launch and spin numbers. I found the stock SLDR to be really good right off the rack, it has a good launch with low spin.
Taylormade has used an adjustable hosel for some time, but this one does so much more. It is adjustable from 8* to 12* loft and a variety in between. The stock setting is 10*. I found that the adjustability really works. I dropped it down to the lowest setting and I was hitting much lower shots than normal and t cranked it up to 11.5 and found that it resulted in much higher shots.
I think that the Taylormade SLDR driver is a step backward in a most positive way. Personally I was tired of looking at the white painted heads and the black face just doesn't screen Taylormade to me. The SLDR on the other hand is everything I love about the old Taylormade. The dark crown, the silver face and the great sound. I couldn't believe how much better the auditory feedback was from the SLDR.
I hit it side by side with my R1 and was blown away at how the SLDR was just like my old R5 series drivers. The silver face just looks right as it sits behind the ball too. Nice and tall with just the right slashes for score lines on the face. Yet it retained the fully adjustable hosel for up and down and around to get the right launch parameters for your swing.
Taylormade R1 driver for sale is the most adjustable driver. If you want the best fit, it is going to take some time to get all the adjustments just right to find the optimal numbers for your swing.
