So… does the 15 mean it has 15 moveable weights now? :)

No it means 20 15 :-)

The last series of driver they introduced was in August 2013 ( SLDR), I guess the though 13 was bad luck???

Any mslp on the R15...? bet it's over 500.00 USD... :roll: Soon, I think we will see $800.00 drivers, mark my words.. ;-)

BTW, I think the R15 looks pretty cool.

That looks like a driver that could make everybody hit it 20 yards longer.

In my case, that's 20 more yards more of chopping my way through all the pricker bushes on the right.

I just started looking to get a SLDR last week. I guess I can wait a while longer for the new year and grab an SLDR when they're $99.99 or be one of the cool kids with my brand new R15. I almost can't believe the R15 will be better than the SLDR. The SLDR lowered my spin numbers from 2950 to 2100 in initial launch monitor testing, so I was hoping I could get more than a yard of roll out of most of my drives.

At least my mild, undiagnosed OCD will not be driving my buying decision. I can get the R15 white crown in all of my woods and hybrids unlike the SLDR white crown.

As for the Burner, the only good thing I can say about it as of now is I love the color scheme. Other than that it looks like the "graphic T" of golf clubs.

Like the R15 look (though white isn't my favorite) but the AeroBurner graphics look like they belong on a rice burner in The Fast and The Furious not on a golf club.

rumored to be 399-449, there will also be a TP versions as well.  You won't see 800 drivers for commercial use for guys like us and amateurs. there are some exotic custom shafts that can put the price up there....but that's with any driver from any of the manufactures

it will also be available in a glossy black

BTW I hit R15 yesterday afternoon, set up  for a  slight draw with the loft set at 11.5 +/-  good looking ball flight. Initially I can claim it was significantly different from my SLDR

I tried swinging the R15 earlier in the week and was impressed by the lightness of the club. This club is in strong contention for my hard earned money. I am hoping for a 20 yard gain over my Cobra Bio Cell. The proof is going to be on the course. Too bad I can't take it out this weekend, the salesman developed a nervous twitch when I proposed to take it out for a spin.

It's raining pretty heavily today, and I can't really go out on the course without getting extremely muddy. So, I might have a couple hours to spend with this club at lunch time today.

It was fantastic. With side by side with my Cobra while averaging only same SS readings, I had over 5% more carry distance. According to the ads, I would have thought it would be closer to 10%. :whistle:

Well, I setup the club with the normal 1cm separation of the weights around N. This gave me 5% more distance. When I brought the weights together in the N to slightly Fade setting, the monitor refused to record my shots hereafter. In any case, even non-optimized for distance I got more than 5% distance. My current Cobra carry is about 220-230 on the course, unless I really nail one perfectly (That's a subject for a post in another thread concerning that issue). Hoping for that 230-240 carry on the course. Even my "worm burner" shot went 202 yards, I nailed the wall as the ball flew under the weighted netting.

I don't know why Taylormade refuses to put a decent alignment aid on their clubs. At least this time they appear to have a small streak in addition to their logo, but it's still poor compared to other companies.

My pictures failed to do it justice, but there is a logo and label to align on the ball. I tended to put this logo with about 1/4 ball below it and 3/4 ball above it (ball slightly towards the toe). I did get pretty good center contact even though I almost used the full height of the club face, so the alignment seemed to work okay.

I'll need to check out the Ping G30 and other clubs sometime before deciding to buy anything. Shop around so to speak, but I really like the R series from TM. I just didn't have any kind of swing before to make it worthwhile to even consider purchasing an expensive club like this one. Irons are next.

I really liked the fact that I was the first person to hit this demo club too. :-)

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
