I went to dicks to hit the Rocketballz driver at lunch it was a little disapointing and the ball felt dead coming off the face. It was taped for sure, so I'm sure that had something to do with it, but still it was disapointing. Or.. maybe I don't know what I'm talking about

I hit the R11 a few times last year and thought that felt a little soft...but it went as far as most other drivers I've hit so didn't bother me

I hit both the RBZ and R11S and my preference was the R11S. But I didn't see much difference between it and my current R11 TP. But I also didn't like the setup they had at Golf Galaxy... And will give them another test drive once the fitter I use gets them in house on Friday.

I hit both the other day as well and i would go with the R11s over the RBZ.  The weight felt so much better in the R11s.  I did also hit the rbz 5 wood and was smoking it.  I would put the 3 and the 5 in my bag tomorrow if i had the money to drop.

Im surprised to hear you didnt like the RBZ.  Theres great press for these clubs all over Twitter.  Your description kind of reminds me of the R9 driver that I used to game.  Nice club that was easy to hit but the ball just didnt pop off of the face like youd think it would.

I just got a Rocketballz 4 hybrid today and loved it in the simulator. For someone that doesn't hit the ball a long way I was really pumped about seeing a consistent 5 yards of added carry. Needless to say my new orleans trip can't come quick enough

I Hit the RBZ and R11 and a few other black faced clubs, The RBZ an R11 Are the only 2 clubs (with Black Face)  that had feel and sound compared to my Burner 09 Driver, I purchased the RBZ and I love it, New Look compared to my Burner 09, Ball goes off the face and it has a few adjustment to have fun with.

Sounds like more prefer the R11s over the RBZ driver. Why the fascination with the RBZ fairway? Does the RBZ speed pocket really out perform the R11s fairway?

IMO, its because the RBZ is pretty much a driver with a 3-wood shaft.  For a 3-wood its got a really springy face.

I hit the RBZ 3 wood 15 degree today. Amazing. I toned it down and hit multiple over 280. I turned it up a notch and blew some out there over 300. Now I'm not sure that I would want my 3 wood to go that far but it was still crazy that I could even do that. My current R9 3 wood maxes out at 260 or so. I thought the feel out the club was better than most people had said.

Now i also hit the r11s clubs and didn't see that much of a distance from the current one. I needed a stiffer shaft on the club which golf galaxy wasn't able to do. I am gonna stick with my current set up but anyone looking for a boost in distance would really benefit from the RBZ.

I picked up the RBZ 3H with a stiff 65g shaft on Friday night. I need to get some more work in with it. But after 36 holes, I've hit it ~ 6 times. I'd say my best swing was from 235yds out on a par 5 from the rough with a decent lie... I hit it 225 into a green side bunker left. Had fabulous turf interaction and the ball just soared. I've hit several fairways with it too just taking smooth tempo swings. I want the 3W, but my fitter won't have it until 3-15. :(

I hit my Speedline LP 15.5* Matrix HDA 70g vs the RBZ. Gained 8 yards. Wasn't surprised, the RBZ is bigger, longer, lighter. Both have the speed slot tech. For 8 yards I'm not jumping on board, but I did see some of the slower swingers at the launch have significant gains

Im thinking about getting the Speedline LP myself. The Taylormade RBZ is just a copy cat of what Adams has been doing for the last 2-3 years anyways. Personally, Im not impressed, plus I dont like the white. And like you said, its only slightly longer because its bigger. I'll take the Adams for playability. Im already playing the new Adams a12 (not the a12os) velocity slot tech 4 hybrid. And that club is freakin lonnnng!

In my Ogio bag.

Titleist 910D2 driver, Adams irons & hybrid, Callaway wedges & a Nike Method putter.

And a yellow ball.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
