With so many hot, new drivers on the market, we placed a dozen of the leading offerings in the hands of some eager testers to gauge their thoughts.
TAYLORMADE ROCKETBALLZ STAGE 2
What TAYLORMADE says:
Characterised by its unique crown graphic which enhances alignment, the RBZ Stage 2 driver also features TaylorMade’s Loft-Sleeve technology, which gives players the ability to easily tune loft and clubface angle to fit their swing. The combination of a longer, lighter (50-gram) Fujikura RocketFuel shaft and light grip enabled TaylorMade to keep RBZ Stage 2 to less than 300 grams for total club weight. That, along with balancing the club to a higher swing weight, allows the RBZ Stage 2 driver to promote faster swing speed for most golfers. The lightweight characteristics of the shaft coupled with the RBZ Stage 2 driver’s mass properties work together to create a moderate draw bias. Like the first-generation RBZ driver, the RBZ Stage 2 retains a large address footprint while incorporating a deeper and larger face.
TaylorMade also offers a RocketBallz Stage 2 Tour model, which has a lower and more forward centre of gravity and a stock Matrix 6Q3 shaft to promote a more penetrating ball flight.
Who plays it: Sergio Garcia (pictured), Martin, Laird.
RRP: $389
