I play r15

Hi Rick, great videos btw. Just wondering if you’ve ever done a comparison of old illegal COR drivers.. be interesting to see what is the longest… also how these faces would affect ball speeds.

No RBZ, a waste of my time

I have the M1 driver from 2016. That will be my driver for a really long time.

I expected big gains with the “M” line over the R11s and R1.

For most of these tests the first years club you hit you hit really well. Is it because you hit it first? Every test has the same tendency.

Fascinating test, great content. I guess its ballistics in the end, if you put the same amount of energy into the ball it becomes about optimising the trajectory to achieve the best distance. I guess this is what the drive for low spin is about?

You know in business they have something called margin velocity . Taylormade follows that thir r &d is under so much pressure and the marketing guys are always shitting bricks bcos they have to keep selling the drivers! They make good products so do others i think even if u had hit the r 580 xd or r9 u would have got somilar results . The question is of the right fit ! Shaft head combo ! The weight orts were there in r5 dual the carbon crown is not a new tech cobra had it so did titleist and so did callaway! So whats new .The twist face so they claim everything you hit comes back to center ! Man thats bullocks ! And all the pga guys who are hitting it far and long are fitted by the company ! So in one line dont buy retail get yourself fitted.

Was the aeroburner driver introduced during those years?

Great video

Interesting video. I have played R15 for a year and a half, I “lofted up”, and sometimes it feels like I’m cheating. There may be some that are longer, or some that are more forgiving, but for me, no better combination of the two than theR15. Halfway through my rounds, playing with whomever, they always want to see my driver.

I’d like to see 5 years of all of the Taylormade irons

Hi RickI’m a big fan of the TM M1 2016 drivers, but have notice that the paint on a number of head start to crack on the white crown. Is this just a bad paint job or has TM ratified the problem in the 2017 range? I currently play M1 2016, 8.5 – 430cc head .

Rick, how about a Cobra test? They’ve been a “dark horse” favorite and probably a Top 5 brand, behind the Big 4 (Cally, TM, PING and Titleist). The time has come… 5 years of Cobra drivers!

Can you do a comparison of balls? Including tour vs distance balls. What launch monitor do you use? Can you recommend one for lower budgets? Thanks.

You should do 5 Years of mini drivers!

Rick, do you think that driver technology has become somewhat maxed out in the sense that we’re not really going to see any major gains no matter what else the manufacturers try?
