The pricing for this new RBZ line is very competitive, and I think it'll be the big seller of this season.You are bidding on a BRAND NEW IN THE FACTORY PLASTIC- 100% AUTHENTIC- YELLOW- 2013 YELLOW TAYLORMADE ROCKETBALLZ RBZ STAGE 2 DRIVER WOOD HEADCOVER. The club maintains its colour like any of the other white clubs if you keep it clean while in play, in soft ground you may need to scoop out the muck from the slot and weight port, but unless the slot is packed and dried put then I doubt it'll make any difference to the performance. No worries anymore about dropping down to hybrid I can now belt one out with the RBZ too. Long and straight without getting caught in the winds is just the change I wanted.īiggest thing for me though is the confidence I now have on the tee with it. Finally on the course the performance returned though.
Onto some on-course testing, whilst not the best time to be trying this out I have no real choice as a trip abroad is probably not cost effective, so Hampshire in February with 4 degree temperatures it is!Īfter a few weeks of no play I finally get out onto the course, after a couple of poor range sessions I admit to wondering what I saw originally. Well I couldn't argue with the stats and so the RBZ makes the bag. So that was it on the Trackman, and time to make the decision. After duffing a few I started hitting well and was seeing 235 yards from the floor which again is very encouraging. Hitting off the mats on the Trackman was something I don't normally like doing as I don't get any feeling of good strikes from mats. Dispersion was good with my normal small fade, but to see a few 255-yard numbers I felt good. Once I got it the ball flight had a very nice 14* launch and generally it was going 235 carry with a 10 yard roll. I generally don't hit from the tee at the moment as the V-Steel doesn't get the distance compared to my hybrid, so I had to figure out the tee height to get some decent strikes. After a few shots to loosen up I started hitting with the monitor on. I pretty much knew what spec to work with, selecting the 15* 3-wood with the xcon stiff shaft. There are no shaft adjustments that can be made, but there is a weight port behind the big slot in the sole. It sits very well behind the ball, with no rocking and looks quite neutral to my eye. So first thing to notice is that apart from being white (if your familiar with the TM kit then you know the matt finish of these) then it's actually a very traditional shape. It tops out at 235-ish, but with relatively little roll after hitting the ground and a quite boring flight that doesn't go into the wind very well at all. So my previous 3 wood was an original TaylorMade V-Steel with a Graffalloy Proto hybrid shaft.
I knew I was gonna test this one sometime soon, just didn't realise it would be that day. As it happened the RBZ and R11s clubs had just been delivered early (by about 4 days) and the assistants had one already taped up club on the Trackman, and with some 290-300 yards shots showing on the screen my interest was peaked.
I didn't originally go into the store to buy anything, I was just browsing to kill sometime. The RocketBallz fairway is hard to beat and you need to try it - just so you can say you have. Whilst we have yet to find anyone who likes the name, it has almost become an advantage for Taylormade as the buzz on the tee when someone brings it out and the comments you find yourself making whether you are using it or someone else is are almost part of the fun. The Matrix Xcon 5 stock shaft seems a lot better than the standard TaylorMade shafts of the past but get custom fitted anyway as it will be a keeper as the pricing is very competitive too.
The styling, providing you like white, looks excellent and the black contrast face makes it very easy to line up. There is really nothing bad to say about TaylorMade Rocketballz fairway as it does seem to deliver more distance with an excellent flight and very good sound and feel. All over the web you can see videos of Tour Pro's hitting the Rocketballz fairway over 300 yards and we have to say that it does go a long way for a fairway - the 3-wood is more like an easy to hit 2-wood. The pull-face constrcution has been used by other manufacturers before and it usually delivers a more powerful face and in the RocketBallz Fairway Wood this is the case too. The shape is also a lot less 'triangular' than the Burner 2.0 it replaces and with the centre of gravity moved forwards the flight is much more penetrating than the Burner 2.0. The head is a nice mid size and offers a good level of forgiveness whilst still appearing very playable. The TaylorMade RocketBallz Fairway Wood has been taking all the headlines on the Tour ranges this year and it is not hard to see why.
