If the name RocketBallz creates mental images of rocket-like tee shots, that’s exactly what TaylorMade had in mind.
Before these irons – most of my rounds have been with Callaway X-22s and the ball flight of the RBZs was significantly higher than what I’m used to. The new RBZ irons progressive head shape offer hollow long irons a cavity back middle irons while the short irons and wedges are a smaller and more compact clubhead design. The taylormade rocketballz rbz irons produced a very straight ball flight and provided little room to work the ball. The TaylorMade rep told me that across the board the RBZ is delofted compared to the lofts of other irons, but the design of the Iron helps the ball jump off the club so you still hit it as high as the higher lofted irons, but longer due to the deloft. What you come to learn quickly with the RBZ's is that the learning curve from playing a different set of irons to the RBZ's is very, very small no matter what clubs you are playing prior to trying these. The color combination is unique which features a dull steel finish with black cavity and neon green accents. The entire set of irons has been very forgiving – more so than what I would expect.
Although advertised as a game improvement iron, the RBZ irons could interest a lower handicap player simply because they are so easy to hit. They are a slightly longer length and offer stronger lofts than competitors.
Although it initially looked like TaylorMade had made a major fumble in naming the RocketBallz line – the products appear to be really catching on with the majority of golfers. I feel like I’ve given these clubs the ultimate workout in forgiveness – and they’ve performed beautifully. Mis-hits are manageable and the feel is similar to shots that are nailed on the sweet spot. Another pro is the design, TaylorMade always puts out very cool looking clubs and they didn’t miss a beat with this set. The new design and technology constructed into the taylormade rocketballz rbz irons will definitely provide you more distance. The lighter feel and shape of the heads make this iron easy to align to the ball. Once you see that you can slow down your swing and get just as much distance, or more, than you did with your previous irons, you will find that your shot making ability will improve. Although advertised as a game improvement iron, the RBZ irons could interest a lower handicap player simply because they are so easy to hit. Beginning golfers should start out with these irons once they start striking the ball better. The workability of the irons is also impressive. However, you will be paying for these innovative golf clubs.
The taylormade r9 superdeep tp driver is geared more for the low handicap player. So What does the TP really mean? More or less the TP version is just a model that is made to suite the eye and game of the better player. Ideally suited to better players with strong swing the R9 Superdeep promotes low ball spin for extra distance. The driver is intended for those players that continue to fight against a high launch and a high rate of spin on their tee shots. The additional weights that are offered with the SuperDeep also cater to the technician type of player who will utilize these weights to fine tune both trajectory and swingweight. Sears struck a multi-year agreement with Ebay, to establish the first U.S. based “store-within-a-store” retail model for the golf industry. TaylorMade will soon unveil its R9 SuperDeep driver, which has an extra-deep clubface. Two weight ports provide up to 448 different launch combinations. The clubface is somewhat short from heel to toe. The club is available in limited distribution.
The TaylorMade clubs perform as advertised. If you are looking for a set of club to produce a higher ball flight and longer distance this set is for you.
