I have an RBZ 3wood and RBZ hybrids...luv 'em! Do you think Taylormade will eventually come out with an RBZ driver with the same type of "velocity slot" as the other RBZ woods have?

I don't think so. The slot raises the "trampoline effect" in the clubs. Drivers are already at or close to the usga limit it would be hard to add the same design to a driver while still falling under usga guidelines.

I agree most drivers have reached the max of the usga limits so in theory if they could add the slot and keep it within the limits it's possible. However I don't think they will manage it because of the trampoline effect but who knows anymore.

Driver: i15, 3 wood: G10, Hybrid: Nickent 4dx, Irons: Ping s57, Wedges: Mizuno MPT 52, 56, 60, Putter: XG #9

Yeah, let me rephrase my last post.  There is no point to add it to the next rbz driver but knowing the marketing team at TM they will add the slot claiming it at the USGA Max and the longest club ever. Their sister company Adams will not add it to there drivers as they are not as marketing driven.

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.
