Taylormade R1 Graphics

[paulshack]

never seen everybody actually agree on something. fail

[mdgboxx]

Much too busy for me...............I'm a simple man!

[scratchswinger]

The sole of the R1 reminds me of a compass.

I'm not into the one loft thing that looks to be big in 2013. Why as a high launch player do I need 10* of loft?

This looks like the same R1 from the previous spyshots. So either we were lied to about the last one being a fake, or this one is also a fake. This looks legit.

Come on. You knew then you were being lied to. Like ALL forums that become beholden to the manufacturers,and lie to the members about it, this one will die. The need for, and abailabity of, new info will dictate where everyone lands. It happens in EVERY field. I hope the owners here understand it.

[Tom D]

I really hope this is a fake, I had high hopes for the R1.

[jdepyper]

wow i hope taylormade rethinks this. super bad decision. IMO

[scratchswinger]

I'm sure these things will sell like crazy.

[OPIE98LMB]

I hope as many people hate on this as they did the Nike driver, because in my opinion this is way worse. The only thing I do like is the face angle adjustment dial on the bottom. The RBZ isn't too bad but if your a Taylormade fan I would get last years models and be happy. Lol

I would disagree that the R1 will if this is the real version. If people thought the Nike was ugly, it pales in comparison to this.

[lenrex]

uglee. the crown looks like the rbz sole!

[LBattaglia93]

If this is legit it seems like Tmag is going to be playing 3rd fiddle this year to Callaway and Ping....those are straight up hideous

Yeah maybe but you know TMAG will say its 20yds longer and throw millilons marketing it and everybody will buy it.

True. They'll still sell tons. All the seniors play white.

[dangolf]

lol...taylormade has once again proven they make clubs for clowns

[jon12]

This is really disappointing, the graphics are horrible. The R1 has to be heads and tails better in terms of performance to get me to shell out my hard earned money.

[mosesgolf]

It doesn't look too bad. I like the concept of an all in one driver. Going into my bag. I did think they put a compass on the bottom though at first glance. Why the F is it pointing NORTH???? Can we have a matte white version.

Wife asked... "Did Taylormade make a compass?" As well as...... "Why would anyone want a compass on their driver?"

I too don't care for that as I don't play anything with graphics on the crown.

the compass is so you know where the ball is going, duh

and you tune the loft, its not everyone plays 10* of loft, you adjust from 8.5-12 or something like that. to fit your launch

[tocino]

Way too busy

I have been sick in my mouth.

This driver is either fake or illegal. It's against the rules to have a compass on your driver.

The source for these shots are the same as the first set of spyshots. However, I did not have anything to do with the first leak. They had to have originated from someone else in the community.

First serie came out the day after Callaway unveilled RAZR Fit Xtreme...
Second serie comes from the same source. I call Voluntary leak from TM!

Regards the product, not a fan of the 70's graphics on the crown, and I find the sole too busy for my liking, in terms of funky looking driver, I prefer Nike's option.
I had feedback that it was a very solid driver in terms of actual performance though, and knowing TM's marketing armada, I would guess this will sell.

I now understand better why they are coming out with a glued RBZ, they need a more classic offering to balance that UFO of a driver.

[Sean25rp]

At least they put a compass on the bottom to find your way back from the long stuff!

The glued RBZ is because they needed a 199 driver. No other reason

[WVP]

Sucks that stupid crown graphics seems to be the new trend. I'll take matte black please.

I hated the faint graphics on the Razr Black and the lines on the Diablo but this new stuff is way past that point.

I don't think it's distracting from a playability view, it just looks stupid. IMO.

[MtlJeff]

In the end i don't really think it matters what it looks like. When the ads come out people will buy them in hordes

[Mschumacher]

Oh dear........

I'd hoped my whore'd have higher standards!

[Golfer_1993]

No way professionals are going to play with this driver. The white was already tough to introduce, imagine with this on the crown. Do you see Sergio and Dustin with this? Just no way...

[snowgolfing]

I hope taylormade the best but i must say those are the ugliest drivers i have seen in a while, plus they are last to the party. So they better preform well or nike is going to take some more of the market share
