TaylorMade RBZ Driver Review
|
|
The Taylormade RBZ Driver is the perfect club for players who want high forgiveness , faster swing speeds, more distance , and lots of adjustability. With a lower and further forward center of gravity, greater aerodynamics, larger club face, and high-tech crown and graphics, the Taylormade RBZ Driver is truly an amazing club that is perfect for the mid to high handicap golfer looking to improve their performance on the tee box.
Key Features
The Taylormade RBZ Driver has 12 different lofts, lie angles, and face angles within the window of 1.5 degrees of adjustment. The not only helps to create higher ball speeds but also provides for more forgiveness on off-center hits.
The Taylormade RBZ Driver has what TaylorMade calls its “large address footprint” club face. The RBZ Driver’s 4,100-millimeter clubface not only promotes incredible forgiveness but also makes it easier for golfers to hit the ball regardless of their handicap.
The Taylormade RBZ Driver thick-thin crown provides for a lower and more forward center of gravity location that promotes faster ball speed, high launch and low spin.
Design and Technology
The Taylormade RBZ Driver combines the very best in technology and design. TaylorMade discovered that a low and forward center of gravity helps to promote faster ball speed and higher launch angles, and working together create more distance. The Taylormade RBZ Driver incorporates this design by having the center of gravity located lower and more and forward on the club.
The RBZ Driver also utilizes TaylorMade’s Loft-Sleeve Technology. This technology offers players 12 settings, 7 standard and 5 upright lofts options, which can add plus or minus 1.5 degrees to each of the standard lofts (9.5 degree loft can be adjusted up to 11 degrees or down to 8 degrees, 10.5 degrees loft can be adjusted up to 12 degrees or down to 9 degrees, and the HL 13 degree loft can be adjusted up to 14.5 degrees or down to 11.5 degrees).
Furthermore, the RBZ Driver also includes TaylorMade’s Inverted Cone Technology, whereby an inverted cone is milled into the inner side of the clubface. This design helps to expand the sweet spot of the club, and promote more ball speed and off-center hits.
One interesting fact to point out is the crown graphics on the TaylorMade RBZ Driver. The crown has black, gold and gray graphics. To create these custom decals, TaylorMade used its Motion Analysis Technology to study how golfer look down at their driver at address. TaylorMade then positioned the layout of the decals to create an effective visual cue that can assist the player with alignment.

Our Experience
More often than not, I prefer to walk so I’m a fan of double-strap stand bags.
However, a number of guys in my weekend group have the Izzo Transport Cart Bag and swear by it. They love all the storage it provides, especially the customizable divider top.
They also appreciate how well-built the bag is. Whereas a lot of other EOM cart bags are mass-produced and therefore lack in quality, such is anything but the case with this bag.
In short, the guys I know have nothing but good things to say.
