The centre of gravity has been kept low, but has been moved closer towards the face for lower spin and enhanced distance – in fact, TaylorMade claim the driver can generate up to nine yards more off the tee in the hands of better players compared to the original RBZ.īauer Media Group consists of: Bauer Consumer Media Ltd, Company number: 01176085, Bauer Radio Ltd, Company Number:ġ394141 Registered Office: Media House, Peterborough Business Park, Lynch Wood, Peterborough, PE2 6EA H Bauer The RBZ Stage II features a larger face than the RBZ predecessor, as well as incorporating the Loft-Sleeve Technology that allows golfers to adjust the loft, lie angle and face angle of the clubhead.
It may not grab the headlines that the more expensive R1 does, but this is still a seriously-solid golf club that we fully-expect to perform well for many golfers of different abilities.

Straight hitting was also synonymous with this club as Joel’s dispersion was down to just five yards, as was James’, while Graeme’s was just nine yards. James hit his longest drive of the day with this club, Joel hit his second longest and Kit and Graeme’s distances were well above average on the day. While the driver may not contain the speed pocket featured in the RBZ Stage 2 fairway, that didn’t stop the ball feeling like it came off the face like a rocket.

The standard Matrix X-Con 5 shaft is better than recent stock shafts on TaylorMade's standard models but still not as good as the TP version so make sure you get fitted for the correct one for your swing. However using the adjustable hosel on the RBZ driver we were able to take some loft off to reduce the height, although this did change the lie angle of the club, but that was OK. On the course the RocketBallz Driver felt and sounded very good and the ball flight was a little on the high side. The lie is also down a degree and a half and combined with the shorter shaft length you feel much more comofrtable over the ball. It also means less weight and the combination of a light head, shaft and grip makes this is a light club at under 300 grams.

Thankfully TaylorMade have reduced the length of the shaft by half an inch to 46 inches so even though it feels long, it is much more manageable and that will mean more accuracy.

At address it has a more rounded head and it sits behind the ball very nicely and the white head/black face colour scheme makes it very easy to align. The TaylorMade RBZ RocketBallz Driver succeeds the Burner Superfast 2.0 driver and the standard version is a lot better.
