I ordered an Taylormade R1 driver tip and shafted that up. The next round was like night and day, similar ball flight, but now huge carries and lots of roll.
The R1 has a number of new features but still retains many of the Taylormade signature qualities. The sound is that metallic Taylormade crack that many golfers have grown accustomed to hearing. The inverted cone face hasn't changed either so the head is forgiving on off center hits. It has a nice stock headcover with standard velvet grip. The length is standard TM 45.5" There is also a TP version of the R1 which basically is just an upgraded shaft.
The more adjustable hosel allowed me to raise my launch angle a degree without raising my spin, so I picked up a couple of yards with the R1 with the Oban Kiyoshi Black shaft. I was able to get even better numbers and better results than the Taylormade R11s driver. You can move them from one side to the other to change your left or right shot shape.
Like other taylormade most forgiving drivers, Taylormade put more into this driver than just paint, it is their most adjustable driver ever. The Taylormade R1 has MWT, Face angle adjustability and an adjustable loft hosel. The combinations are endless in this one driver. The best feature of the club is the new adjustable loft hosel. Taylormade has used an adjustable hosel for some time, but this one does so much more.
Previous shaft adapters will not work in this head so if you found the perfect shaft for your Taylormade R11 driver or R11s you will need a new tip for the R1. This make sense with the new adjustability. Thankfully TM is selling them at various retailers so it can be done. For me it was necessary to switch out shafts, no matter how I adjusted the head, it spun to much with the stock shaft.
Overall, the taylormade r1 driver is very forgiving and adjustable. You can adjust the sound, feel and swing weight with the moveable weights.
