TaylorMade R1 Driver - the deets

According to TaylorMade's researchers, 80% of golfers are playing the wrong loft and 24% are playing a loft that's off by 2 degrees or more. By recognizing this problem, TaylorMade has developed a driver that gives golfers from Tour pros to amateurs more options to help them achieve optimal performance. This new club is the TaylorMade R1 driver.

Technology

The R1 features a face tuning system with an ingenious look that resembles a compass. Instead of the usual Open, Neutral and Closed face angle options that other drivers offer, the R1 comes with 7: Neutral, Open, Medium-Open, Maximum-Open, Closed, Medium Closed and Maximum Closed. For the most precise loft angle, the driver has 7 standard and 5 upright loft options that range from 8 to 12 degrees (+/- 2 degrees). The R1 also uses shot-shaping moveable weights to promote a fade or neutral ball flight or to create a draw.

The R1 driver has enhanced versions of familiar TaylorMade features as well. The tried-and-true Inverted Cone Technology has been milled into the inner side of the driver to expand the area that maximizes ball speed. Like the RocketBallz driver, the R1 uses a Thick-Thin crown design to position the Center of Gravity (CG) lower and more forward. This results in not only accelerated ball speed, but also higher launch and lower spin.

Style and Design

The R1 driver has a unique, high-tech look that makes it stand out from other drivers on the market. The most prominent feature is the dial, with its orange outline and previously mentioned compass-like appearance. Other interesting visual features include the orange and black stripes on the crown and new R1 logo. The orange detailing is offset by the black club face and non-glare white crown, which also serve as an alignment aid. It wouldn't be a TaylorMade club without substance behind the style.

The TaylorMade R1 driver comes with an Aldila RIP Phenom shaft and will be available for pre-sale here on Global Golf on January 3, 2012 , with clubs hitting the streets beginning February 21, 2013 . With its incredible amount of adjustment options, the R1 ensures that golfers no longer have to play anything other than the ideal loft. This is truly the one driver that can fit all.

See you on the course.

I entered.

I don't plan to purchase an R1 -- at least, not right now.  I've got a bit more swing work to do before I splurge on another club, and I got a new driver last summer, so... I'll put an R1 in the bag if I win.  :)

    • 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.
