Taylormade was the first to make a cool club that also happened to be a very fine club.

I bet 80% of the guys hitting RBZ's were the ones 4 years ago saying they would never hit a white club

I'm over the white clubs, time to move on

Matte black would be my preference

RBZ fairway woods got some pop on them. Only seen one of their drivers.

Cobra Biocell is the longest driver on the market right now

I really like how those Biocell drivers look, but I'd have to hit it first. And I agree with the RBZ fairway woods. My little brother has one and it mashes.

Those things have some pop as well. I've been casually looking for one on GolfWRX.

I have the SLDR 10.5 460 with a fubuki shaft in it, it far outperforms my old R11 TP.

Care to expand on that? Longer? More accurate? Both?

Both, had the 9 degree R11. My SLDR has more loft which imo makes it more forgiving and higher ball flight means longer drives.

some false beliefs here. the sldr has the lowest moi of any driver produced in the last 5 yrs making it the least forgiving driver of the last 5 yrs. higher does not mean longer unless matched with the perfect spin rate.

all 100% facts from me

I paired both up at fairways and greens here in Knoxville. And that's the way it panned out with me.

The design of the driver requires extra loft. If what you're saying was true, just get a 13 degree 3 wood

getting fitted for the sldr is 100% recommended but I was explaining the physics behind the sldr. Lots of untold truths about the sldr that I am trying to educate the common golfer with

It also seems to be more forgiving when I hit it low on the club face as well. I dunno, it's not for everyone but I like it.

just another fact - a ball struck on the bottom of the club face and will be the least forgiving. And also a ball struck on the bottom of the sldr spun atleast 500 rpm greater which would kill distance if lofted high.

todays drivers are designed to be struck above the center equator of the face.
