TaylorMade New Golf Products
TaylorMade Golf have launched two new lines of metal wood for the 2015 season. The new R15 carries on from the SLDR as the top of the range flagship product with maximum adjustability to give you every chance to ensure the perfect fit. The new AeroBurner family replaces the JetSpeed line and offers raw power at a hot price.
One of our resident Golf Pro’s and Trackman Specialists, Jason Wood, has taken taken a closer look at both products to see how these two new ones may or may not improve your game.
RS1 Irons
What they say…
New Face Slot Technology in the 3-8 iron
• Improved Speed Pocket with ThruSlot Technology in the 3-7 iron
• Advanced Face Design – our thinnest face, deep undercut and Inverted Cone Technology combined – promote maximum face speed
• Improved sound and feel through advanced construction and multiple dampening systems
• New Reax 90 steel shaft from True Temper helps to optimise ball flight for ultimate distance and performance
What we say…
This takes cavity weighting in irons one step further, the speed pocket essentially gives metal wood forgiveness in your irons, the sound and feel is unique and gives unrivalled performance, it’s a must try if you are wanting to upgrade your irons
R15 Driver
What they say…
Centre of gravity (CG) lower and more forward to promote higher launch and lower spin
• New Front Track system performs like a Speed Pocket, reduces spin and increases size of sweet spot
• New sliding split weights: heel for draw, toe for fade, split for maximum stability (12.5g each/25g total)
• Beautifully sculptured pear shape with larger footprint and new satin white finish (also available in black)
• New Fujikura Speeder 57 Evolution shaft, Lamkin UTx grip
What we say…
White is the new black again! The new R15 regains the distinctive white paintwork from the R1 and takes the adjustability of the Driver to the next level. The CG of the new R15 is now more customisable to make sure your fit is perfect with a second weight than you can adjust to affect spin and launch
AeroBurner Driver
What they say…
Advanced 460cc aerodynamics shape designed with rounder toe, raised centre crown, reduced drop from crown to skirt and new hosel fin
• New Speed Pocket increases size of the sweet spot and reduces spin
• New matte white finish, black PVD face and linear AeroBurner crown graphic make alignment easy
• Built with new lightweight Matrix Speed RUL-Z 50 shaft and TM Speed grip
• TP model designed with a longer hosel, flatter lie and more open face angle
What we say…
If you don’t require the adjustability of the R15 then the AeroBurner is for you. Class leading performance, ultra light 50g shaft for maximum speed and Speed Pocket technology will ensure that none of your buddies will out drive you if you get fitted correctly. The classic design also means you can drive it deep while saving a few extra dollars. It will be a hard driver to beat!
