Got to swing the R1 this weekend and it was decent, but I was not blown away by the perfromance. Sound was much improved over the R11S
[/quote]

Agree with the sound bit completely.

Additionally does anyone know if the R1 can take the old Tmade shaft attachment?

THe ASP wasn't helping because I hover. And adjusting with my hands was freaking me out a bit.[/quote]
You shouldn't be adjusting your hands at address, so hovering shouldn't factor into how you grip the club. All you have to do is any time before you swing, even practice swing, is place the club on the ground and then grip it.

Hopefully, you're not OCD enough that the grip logo has to be in the same symmetrical position when you grip.

Im competent with swinging a driver. 30 years guys. I can square a face by hovering a golf club. Not my first rodeo. No need to set a driver down on grass to get it to align itself. This club has a lot of angles to it. And the racing stripes look like you are pushing your ball to the right. Hard for me to look down on.

I gave it a fair shot....outdoors on the golf course for a full round. I'll play the TItleist, happily.
[/quote]So you can tell if it's 1* open or closed. Can you teach me? I want to know how one can tell this when hovering. I'm not being sarcastic here, I'd really like to know!

It worked for Jack Nicklaus. Also every wrx'er can spot a 1/2 degree closed head on the rack.

[buck9432]

Does it bother anyone else that the upgraded stock TP shaft is still a made for? I understand that it might be of better quality and play similar to the actual Phenom when compared to it's counterpart, the 55 in the 'regular' R1 but previous Taylormade TP drivers have had aftermarket shafts in them so why not the R1? I like Tmag equipment because it works for my game, but if there's one thing that bothers me it's the driver shaft options and the price point on their top of the line driver.

[Imp]

So we've accepted the error on the TM price (somewhat). Now we're moving on to the "I don't like the Made For designation"?

Wow. Just, wow.

[/quote]

It's not that the made for designation that bothers me, but it's the price they offer it for. I think it's a excellent driver and the Rip 65 shaft fit me very well so I'll probably end up buying the TP anyways.

I don't ever remember the Rip Phenom 80 being on the Aldila website until recently but that was the stock TP fairway shaft last year so who knows maybe it will be offered retail later on.

I'm not trying to start a fight on the subject. Judging by your response it was apparently too early in the morning for me to post my one gripe.

[buck9432]

Well, now that I got my first whiny post on the site out of the way (and started my first argument!) I should actually post something constructive and add to the conversation.

I tend to be a high spin/high launch player so I'm constantly looking to lower my spin off the tee. When I hit the R1 indoors on a launch monitor the spin rate, ball speed and carry distance were all comparable to my R11s V2 and it was more forgiving (these were some HORRID swings). Didn't have a chance to compare it to my DOT head. Maybe when I get back into the groove of playing and the swing is better the R11s V2 will be longer but as of right now (for me) the R1 is what I've been looking for in a retail TM head.

[Caesar Palache]

I was told the upgrade shafts were not made for shafts. The stock shaft in the Stage 2 Tour driver is not a made for and it sounded like he said all upgraded shafts were not a made for shaft

more or less, some people swear by real deal shafts and won't touch made for, some don't care.

Real vs. Made for doesn't really bother me personally (had the stock X-con 7 in my RBZ for the last year, but I am re-shafting with a Lime Green Code 8 for the 2013 bag) and if someone gets fit for the driver if the shaft works it really shouldn't bother them either.

I guess my comment was that the TP 65 shaft appears to have different specs than the 60 or 70 so it appeared to be a made for at the TP price point. The shaft/head combo performs for me though so I probably could've saved us all some time this morning and just held on to my comment. I guess I just needed something to do while at work!

I might have missed it, but have you received the Kiyoshi yet?

[rybo]

Got to play 18 with the R1 yesterday and here is my take on it. First it was a TP with the 65g Phenom Stiff. Settings were 10*, N, and 10g in heel/1g in toe. For comparison my current driver is a RBZ 10.5* Tour set to the lowest loft setting, Miyazaki Black 72X tipped 3/4" and 45". The head is weighted to 204g. Conditions, started off around 65* and warmed up to 80*. Good solid breeze with some occasional gusts up to 20mph. Typical south Florida winter weather. Me +1 handicap, last Trackman session had my swingspeed with a driver at 118mph.



First and foremost this club is so easy to swing. It has a balance that really seemed to work well for me.

Length: I would have a tough time saying it is longer then the RBZ, but there were two holes in particular that were the longest I had ever hit on these holes; and this is my home course of over 6 years. Into the wind it was definitely shorter however it was still so easy to control. I need to get a extra stiff shaft to try to truly give this a fair comparison. So even with a shaft that may not be exactly right it's length was as good and at times a bit better. I

Control: The R1 was easier to control. End of story! Not sure if it was the head or the shaft but it was noticeably easier to control. It definitely was better at controlling trajectory then the RBZ Tour. Tee it low, it went low. Tee it high it went high. Normal tee height, normal trajectory. Dispersion was also very good. Much better the the R11s which I could not stand and only missed two fairways on the day when using it. While the ball was spinning a little too much the ball never upshot like normally happens with a shaft that is too soft.

Sound: honestly at this point I give up on sound, all of these Ti heads can sound different just by using a different ball. As long as it not obnoxious I'm fine with it. With that said the sound was on par with most drivers out there today.

Graphics: Looking at the club I hated the crown graphics, three holes into the round didn't notice them anymore and when I did notice them they not only did not detract from the club but seemed to frame the clubs true center way better then say the all white RBZ and R11s or any all black head. By the end of the round I was actually liking them. So much for first impressions!

All in all I'm ready to give the R1 a spot in the bag for nothing else then it's ease of use. I think with the right flex in the shaft and this club could be unstoppable. I do want to compare it to the Nike Covert.

TM gives you the cut and installed spec's, Aldila gives you the RAW specs. Also, one has to factor into the weight change that TM's paint scheme adds. 2g of shaft weight is the paint scheme, presuming it's the same as last year. Plus both TM and Aldila, just like everyone else in the industry, don't seem to measure torque the same.

Ping's custom option sheet, for example, does the same thing. Specs don't match up with those from the shaft OEM's.

That was one thing I wasn't thinking of, the raw vs cut specs. Obviously the weight changes when cut and now I'm remember numerous conversations on the site about how different companies measure the torque. Thanks for the response!

In the end, I asked the question and ended up buying the TP anyways. Shaft works very well for me. Got a chance to play yesterday with the freak warm day here in Ohio and I think this driver is going to kick my R11s V2 to the backup bag. It was so freaking easy to hit and when it got up it just seemed to not want to come back down. I went into this season not wanting to make any new purchases but I'm happy I picked one up.

Just got mine a couple days ago off of the tour truck and oh my god this thing RULES! I previously had a 9* Tour RBZ but for some reason I just couldn't hit it as well as my R11.
The R1 is like if the R11s and R11 had a baby and gave it Deer Antler spray. Its not majorly long but I've gained about 5 yards on average, and when you hit it dead center its game over. I ended up putting the Fujikura Fuel TP 70X in mine, and it just feels like money!

ChrisX831.... that is possibly the best analysis ever! and the use of deer antler spray, priceless!

Personally I don't care if it is 5 yds longer or 5 yds shorter. I don't even care if the shaft says made for, made by or made with on it. When 18 out of 20 balls go perfectly where I want them, that is what counts. After the first 2 going perfect, you suddenly are spending more time watching that striped shot than looking at the graphics. The accuracy alone would have me willing to spend twice the asking price, and keeping it in the bag until it falls apart
