TaylorMade Men's RBZ Black Driver, Black

The Good:-Forgiving-Good distance-Great value-Looks great at address-High quality shaft-Adjustable loft-Standard grip-Comes with head coverThe Bad:-NoneThe Bottom Line:I’ve been looking at drivers and wow these things are getting up to the $550 mark. I didn’t want to spend that much but still wanted something that was forgiving and hit the ball long. I’m a 15 handicap with about a 90 mph swing speed. I got the 10.5 degree with a stiff shaft and I’ve been bombing it at the range. I used to swing a 9.5 degree but it’s just not as forgiving. This RBZ driver I can hit long and the face is incredibly forgiving. The shaft is great as it doesn’t have much lag on my swing and allows the club head to whip through the zone. The driver loft is adjustable by 1.5 degrees plus or minus. I tend to hit my driver with a slightly higher trajectory but I changed the loft to 9.0 degree and was flighting the ball much lower which would be helpful if i was hitting into wind. Overall I would highly recommend this driver for its value and performance!

I'm a low handicap, but haven't played much golf over the past 7 years. I've recently gotten back into it and realized some of my equipment was outdated, especially my driver. I had an original r7, and realized it felt like a dead baseball bat. I wouldn't even use it, and would go with a 3 iron off the tee as it was nearly as long and more accurate. So my driver was essentially pointless...I hit a few at the PGA Superstore, but it's hard to find drivers now less than 300 - I don't play enough anymore to justify spending 400-500 on a single club. Also, the club fitter there told me that manufacturers have pretty much maximized the USGA's limits on the hotness of driver faces in recent years, and that what your paying extra for now is the ability to adjust and customize the drivers with the weights, as well as just having the newest thing on the market that the pros are using - I have no doubt this is correct.I came across the RBZ black and couldn't believe it was $200. I preferred it over anything else there I hit. I love how traditional and simple it looks at address, how light it is, and especially the sound it makes! It's a clean and crisp sound. It felt really good and I loved everything about it. They didn't have the loft I needed, so I ordered it on Amazon.As an added benefit, the loft can be adjusted on this club. I dont care for the clubs that can move weights and adjust it to 100 different ways or whatever, but being able to adjust the loft up or down is nice for me. If you're into all of that, just know the loft is the only thing that can be altered - and yes, it comes with the adjustment tool/wrench.Well, I knew it was good after hitting it in the simulator, but man I was still blown away when I pulled this out on the range. I was absolutely correct about my old driver being a dead baseball bat. I couldn't, and still can't, believe how fast the ball is off the face. It just gets out there so quick and was going significantly farther than my old driver. I don't know exactly how much farther, but the net at the driving range is at about 250 yards. With my old I could land in front of it and bounce it into the net. With the RBZ I was flying every ball into that sucker with ease. I'm pretty confident my drives will at least be 280 consistently, so I'm just guessing it's going to be 40-50 yards difference - maybe more. With the RBZ I felt like I was shooting a mini cannon, or dare I say... a rocket?And again, the sound of the club is just perfection. It sounded even better outside in the open. Quiet, clean, and crisp.Also, to be fair, I've basically been living under a rock the past 10 years when it comes to advancement with golf technology. I've never really cared for, or been fascinated with being long off the tee. I've always focused more on ball striking and short game, but I can't deny this added distance is going to be a game changer for me - I was hitting 3 iron off the tee for God's sake!I will definitely be purchasing either the RBZ 3 wood or 3i hybrid. Just have to figure out which one better suits my game.For $200 this is a steal, and you won't be disappointed, especially if your like me and had a driver over 10 years old.

I spent a lot of money on a fitting 3yrs ago w/ an M1 but the club never had the kick or feel at the bottom I was looking for-- good but not great. I have an RBZ 3 and RBZ 5 woods both at home and at an away course and love 'em. Was looking for a new driver again (I don't like the new TM twist-face drivers--feel like rocks) then saw the RBZ black re-issue Driver (this is 2013/14 technology) at a ridiculously good price-- less than $200. Driver came w/ a 55 gram Ozik Stiff shaft, which is perfect for someone who swings between 90 and 100. But the clincher is the head--it sets up beautifully and sounds crisp on contact through the hitting zone. The launch angle I believe is adjustable 1.5 degrees up/down, but there are no head weights to compensate for draw or fade bias. Is that worth another $300? Nope. This club works and the head has less dead spots (especially for hits low on the face) than my M1.

If you're a casual player looking for a good driver, this is the club for you. You cannot beat the price point, and the performance is on point. In fact, I read many tests online that said this club gave up maybe 7 - 10 yards compared to the latest TaylorMade drivers in tests with club pros.While this doesn't have all the fancy carbon fiber and moveable weights, you will be able to purchase another club or two with the amount of money you've saved. Also, you can adjust the loft up to 1.5 degrees up or down if that's something you're looking to do.Unless you're looking for a few extra yards or the prestige of carrying the "latest" golf club in your bag, save yourself hundreds of dollars and get the RBZ. You won't regret it!

My current set of clubs are Ping G25's. I purchased this TaylorMade RBZ driver with the hopes of getting improved technology in a driver at a lower price; and I was also looking for more distance and ball control. For that purpose, this was a bad investment for me. But, I also knew it was a gamble to buy without hitting the club first. Compared to my Ping G25 10.5 degree driver, the ball is dead feeling coming off of this TaylorMade RBZ driver. I have played with it twice, and worked with it at the driving range. For me, this club gives me less distance and less control than my Ping G25 does. So my Ping G25 driver is now back in my bag, and the TaylorMade RBZ is going into the closet until I can put it in a garage sale. This driver did not work well for me.

Only used it for 1 round so far, and a bucket at the range. Seems to go about 20 yards less than my old Taylor Made driver. My old one is a bit higher end but 10+ years old and I felt was starting to get a dead spot. The old one still goes way farther when hit on the sweet spot. This new one feels fine but lacks the pop so far. I swing pretty hard so got the stiff shaft. Old driver goes 270-290 when ripped and I dont think I have hit one past 250 with this new one so far. I am about a 10 handicap FYI

I like the golf driver because it is light and forgiving and the club can be altered to various loft. The servce was good but not great because of the situation of unessential items being shipped. The conditon of the product was excellent. I was given my product with complete satisfaction. Thank you very much. Tha packageing was good also. Thanks.

I am using as it came, that is, without adjusting the loft. I find it is a forgiving club, and I can achieve a good distance, but it is difficult for me to compare it with other choices, as I have not tried other modern clubs. I use it at the range, trying to increase my swing speed, a long term target. And at least for this purpose, this club is very good.

Saw some people saying they lost yardage from buying this driver, this was not the case for me. Im an okay golfer who typically hits 10-12 over par. I had the first version of the RBZ (the white one) before buying this one. I would typically hit anywhere from 250-275 yards with my previous driver. Since upgrading to this newer version, I am seeing my drives carry anywhere from 290-315 yards which is definitely making my golf game easier and should see some improvement on the scorecard. Would recommend this driver for your average joe golfer who wants increased distance!

No le pides nada a este Driver, demasiado economico, ligero, la verdad esta excelente me encanto. No es necesario impactar fuerte, el palo hace todo el trabajo. Debo de estar de 250 hasta 280 yardas (si ayuda soy handicap 25).Tiene las 3 B (bueno, bonito y barato). Altamente recomendado.
