\"Logo<\/a>January 23, 2013 –<\/strong> You can see at once that the new TaylorMade R1<\/a><\/strong> is an outstanding driver, and it has been a real privilege to try it out before it goes on sale in the golf shops on 1st February.<\/p>\n

TaylorMade launches the new R1 under two interesting assumptions: 1) that with increased adjustability you will refine more precisely the customization of the driver, so that it offers you the ideal launch conditions with which to achieve maximum distance, and 2) that 80% of golfers use drivers with the wrong loft!, thinking that with a lower loft and a more penetrating trajectory they will get further, when what actually happens is that they lose distance.<\/p>\n

So, one of the imperatives of the R1 TaylorMade is to offer a wide range of loft settings, with which the average golfer can find out how a more open loft, combined with conditions of high launch and low spin, can produce more carry and more distance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The TaylorMade crew are masterful at making visible from the outside all the technology that the new R1 new driver has within. That means that the first thing that catches your eye is the attractive and vanguard design. A V-shaped graphic has been placed on the white crown opening towards the black face which can help you to focus at address.<\/p>\n

With the key you can modify your loft with up to 12 configurations, turning the tip of the shaft by inserting the head, and 7 positions of the face angle, which together with the shot-shaping movable weights allow up to 168 different ways to tune the R1 to specifically fit the player’s swing, and thus optimize distance and accuracy. That is, the same driver model can be tuned to fit players across the board, from Tour pros to amateur golfers.<\/p>\n

In the driving range of Terramar CG<\/strong> at Sitges (Barcelona, Spain), with Toni Alcazar<\/strong>, pro of El Doctor Golf<\/strong>, we tested the driver with four different configurations (without changing the standard position of the screws): 1st) 9.5\u00ba loft, lie Neutral, 2nd) 12\u00ba loft, lie Neutral; 3rd) 9.5\u00ba loft, lie Closed and 4th) 9.5\u00b0 loft, lie Open.<\/p>\n
