It is VERY important to note the above chart offers the optimum driver loft for maximum CARRY DISTANCE. Due to the fact that fairway conditions vary by part of the country, weather conditions and turf/ground conditions, a golfer’s optimum driver loft for TOTAL CARRY + ROLL DISTANCE may be slightly lower than the lofts indicated in the chart for each combination of clubhead speed + angle of. The R1 can be adjusted in 168 ways (with one tool) to change loft, face angle and heel/toe weighting. In fact, via the adjustable sole plate the face angle can be adjusted (4 degrees open/closed) to 7 different settings including: neutral, open, medium-open, maximum-open, closed, medium-closed, maximum-closed.
Unlike most drivers, R1 lacks a loft number stamped on the head, because its “Loft-Sleeve Technology” offers a 12-loft sleeve settings to deliver a 4°-range of lofts, meaning the golfer can play anywhere from a 8° to 12° driver. “Offering a wide range of loft settings is imperative, because our research indicates that 80 percent of golfers are playing the wrong loft, which costs them distance,” said Dr. Benoit Vincent, chief technical officer. The Loft Sleeve Technology means that you can adjust the driver to suit your game and choose a loft from 8 up to 12 degrees. Essentially, the R1 lets you choose from 7 different lofts in the standard setting, and 5 different lofts if you choose an upright setting. A further seven face angle settings combine to further enhance the look at address and flight of the ball.
TaylorMade Golf – Take a Look Inside the New R1 Driver
March 1, 2013 – Following its recent world launching and the review we did in MyGolfWay.com few weeks ago, here we explain to you the technical features, how it works, and the three steps to tune your TaylorMade R1 driver: 1) Loft, 2) Face Angle and 3) Shot Shape.
Loft-Sleeve Technology Offers 12 Settings between 8° and 12°
R1 offers 12 loft-settings to choose from between 8° and 12° (7 settings at standard lie angle, 5 settings at upright lie angle), giving golfers a wide range of choices from which to achieve their optimum launch angle.
7 Face-Angle Settings
R1 offers seven face-angle settings to help golfers get the precise, confidence-building look at address: neutral/square, slightly open, more open, maximum open, slightly closed, more closed and maximum closed. Face angle can be easily changed without affecting the loft, an adjustability benefit offered only by TaylorMade.
Shot-Shape Technology
TaylorMade’s movable shot-shape weights allow the golfer to easily shift the clubhead’s CG location by 5 millimetres to promote either a draw or a neutral/straight trajectory, helping golfers hit the ball longer and place it more accurately.
Thick-thin Crown Technology
Varying the thickness of the crown allowed TaylorMade engineers to save critical weight that’s strategically repositioned to move the CG lower and further forward. Lowering the CG promotes a higher launch angle, while moving it forward promotes faster ball speed.
Inverted Cone Technology
TaylorMade’s famous Inverted Cone Technology significantly expands the area of the clubface that delivers high ball speed, promoting increased distance on off-centre hits.
White Crown with New Graphic
R1’s white matte finish eliminates glare on the crown and works with the black face to make alignment easy. The new crown graphic acts as an additional alignment aid, while the preserved white space creates a frame to position the ball against which promotes improved focus.
Aldila RIP Phenom 55 Shaft
R1’s ultra-light Aldila RIP Phenom 55 is faster clubhead speed, yet is strategically weighted to deliver the feel of a heavier, 65-gram shaft. The RIP Phenom 55 also features Aldila’s Hyberbolic Flex Technology™ that incorporates a stiff tip section to promote optimal launch and spin control, a very firm butt section for incredibly stable feel, and a softer centre section that promotes an added “kick” through impact for maximum ball speed.
