Taylor made R1 vs Rbz stage 2 difference ?

What is the difference between R1 and RBZ stage 2 ?

R1 seems to be way more expensive - but they are both adjustable both sideways and up down.

What are main differences ?

The R1 has more adjustebility

Exactly....

The R1 has two weight ports, heel and toe to adjust not only swingweight but also ball flight control.
The S2 has no weights.
Only one other driver has two weight ports...the RFX.

The R1 has the adjustable sole plate to correct face angle for loft changes.
The S2 has none.

Those two were enough to spend the extra $ and go with the R1 and I have found those to be invaluable.

Each will have distinct feels...

R1 has a slightly shorter, heavier shaft and more 'solid' feeling face...
RBZ2 is lighter, longer, with a 'thinner' feeling face...

If you hit it straight and don't need the adjustability, RBZ2 seems to work. From what I have found fitting (same shafts) the R1 produces less spin than RBZ2 or RBZ2 Tour.

Love my R1 but just picked up a stage 2 tour model and I think it's as long as the R1. The sound and feel is a lot better also. I have the R1 set at 11.5 and the 10.5 stage 2 gives me a better ball flight with vey little difference in distance. No launch monitor data but they are both very low spin (with the stage 2 higher launch)

Tried out the R1 driver today, it was quite nice.
It can certainly take a hook away..
By the way, what is the difference between R1 and R1 TP ?

How much can you adjust the Stage 2 ?
I need a open face and 10-11 degrees loft.
I am choosing between R1 and stage 2 which would you recommend ?

I tried both but couldn't get past the sound of the R1. It just wasn't for me. I bought the S2 Tour as I am a high launcher and got too much spin from the non-tour version. Really you need to hit them all and see what works and feels better for you.

If you go with the RBZ remember that raising the loft closes the face and lowering it opens it. For an open face you would have to go with the 10.5 head and set it lower. You might find that less works for you - I have my Ping G15 lofted at 9.7 deg and am playing the RBZ at 9 to get similar results. I have a low launching shaft in the Ping though so that might not be a fair comparison.

The RBZ S2 can be adjusted in 0.5 deg increments to a total of +/- 1.5 deg from the orginal head loft.

i've only had the stage 2 tour model for a few days (1 round) but for the price, i think the stage 2 is a really good driver and while I like my R1, I'm really liking the stage 2. For me, the stage 2 feels and sounds better, and I would say its more low spin/mid launch. Took the R1 and stage 2 to the range and at the same setting (10.5*) the stage 2 launches the ball higher than the R1.
