But the Rocketballz driver takes a slightly different approach than many other recent drivers: to promote accuracy, it uses a stock shaft that’s ½.

We would probably prefer the R11S over the RBZ Tour, which is also cheaper, so this is really going to come down to personal preference and how much adjustability you want in a driver. The Rocketballz driver has a shallower face and more draw bias than the equally new TaylorMade R11S driver (you can read our review on the TaylorMade R11S driver on another page of our site). The standard driver looks better, sounds better and is cheaper.

With the previous Burner Superfast model we preferred the TP version over the standard version, but with theTaylorMade Rocketballz driver it is the other way round. However we don't feel it looks as good and the sound is much more of a high pitched clunk, which is disappointing in what is supposed to be a better player premium driver. This does give it a lower, more penetrating flight, which is better. Secondly the head is a different shape that is taller and more triangular than the standard version. However that is where the similarity ends.įirstly the shaft is an inch shorter and is a much stiffer and better quality Matrix shaft than the standard version, but this comes at a price. You can read more about TaylorMade's new launches and both ranges of the new TaylorMade equipment in the coming days.The TaylorMade RBZ Rocketballz Tour Driver is similar in features to the standard RBZ driver so it has the adjustable hosel and the same white paint job. The new TaylorMade RocketBallz driver will also catch the eye though thanks to the adjustability on offer at a competitive price. So often fairway woods follow the driver market but the RocketBallz fairway wood and Rescue promises something different. Regardless of the name it is interesting that the main technology story comes in the fairway wood rather than the driver. This is a brand new offering that initially catches the eye thanks to the name. This should prove a particularly interesting move when it comes to custom fitting thanks to the huge number of ways a fitter will be able to set the driver up.Īt the complete opposite end of the scale is the launch of the TaylorMade RocketBallz (RBZ) range. The white-headed driver was even more successful than even TaylorMade could have imagined so there was no way it was going to be removed from the range.Īs you will see the new TaylorMade R11S driver is larger and has been given more adjustability options. It is no surprise that the hugely successful TaylorMade R11 driver has been evolved rather than completely overhauled.
