TaylorMade RocketBallz Driver

WE TESTED: 9°, 10.5° with Matrix Ozik XCon 6 graphite shaft
KEY TECHNOLOGIES: The deep-faced RBZ Tour features the company's adjustable "Flight Control Technology" (FCT) hosel, which enables you to increase or decrease loft by 1.5° and to tweak face angle (3° closed to 3° open). Comes standard with a 55-gram shaft at 45.75".

OUR TESTERS SAY: Among the higher-rated drivers. It's a very good performer with strong, repeatable results.

PROS
DISTANCE: Many feel it's as long or longer than their own New 2012 TaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Driver; a few say it produces bigger drives than R11.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: Easy to hit consistently well and find the fairway; a large sweet zone produces solid shots, even when the ball misses the center of the clubface.
FEEL: The ball compresses and jumps off the face quickly; a relatively light sensation through impact with few bad vibrations.
PLAYABILITY: A higher-than-average launch creates plenty of carry; natural shape seems to be a slight draw.
LOOK: White crown and black clubface are pleasing to most testers and easy to align on the tee.

CONS
Some testers find the white crown distracting; the high-pitched impact sound isn't everyone's favorite.

After walking through the glass doors of TayorMade's Carlsbad, Calif., headquarters, I was asked to sign a document forbidding me from writing about the stuff I was about to see. Forty-five minutes later, every eye in the second-floor conference room was focused on me. Sean Toulon, the company's executive vice president, asked, "So David, what do you think?"

I'd just been shown a new line of cheap taylormade rbz driver that would be joining the R11 and Burner families.

For an internal sales meeting, Toulon had starred in a video with Nick Faldo that lampooned one of the company's TV ads, so I knew he'd go the distance to get a laugh. Part of me thought the name I'd just seen was a joke.

Glancing at my watch, I played it straight,. "Sean, I don't think I'll ever forget the time and place where I first heard about RocketBallz."

But RocketBallz is no joke, and clubs bearing taylormade RBZ driver for sale on their sole will start arriving in pro shops near you in early February. (According to TaylorMade, the engineers who developed the line said the 3-wood "hit the ball like a rocket." Having a little fun, they etched "RocketBallz" into their prototypes, and the name stuck.)
