First hit felt strong and to be fair all of the shots felt very solid. To be honest I wasn't really in the market for a new 3 wood as my TM R11 was doing just fine.

Believe the hype and see the benefits a top club with top results.īrought the 3 wood 2 weeks ago, after 2 holes and smashing it long and straight the driver had to go!! no longer have driver in the bag as this RBZ 3 wood goes just as far if not longer and is much easier to control,ĥ out of 5 For me, the hype is real!! 17 April 2012ĭecided to try out a Toyr version after reading and hearing so much about this new fairway. Have a feeling this will become a go to club as its that good. Great off the tee and I hit it even better off the deck.

On the advise of the Pro who fitted me went for the high launch 17 degree 3 wood which after initial thoughts of why I was convinced by the results.

Hit it high long and straight, further than my previous driver. Have to say was sceptical about the claims but after just a couple of hits at the fitting it was obvious there was some proof in the pudding.

This is a must-try club for golfers who are struggling to bridge the gap in terms of yardage from their long irons through to their driver.ĥ out of 5 RBZ fairway 3 wood 09 June 2012īrought this alongside the the driver and rescue. The secret lies in the Speed Pocket that sits behind the face – it boosts COR and ball speed for more distance, and the flight is incredibly strong due in part to the deeper clubface. Some players have reported gains of up to 17 yards with this club, and that’s impressive. But in terms of performance the face is very hot.”ĭistance: 5.0 Dispersion: 4.5 Looks: 4.6 Feel: 4.3 Forgiveness: 4.1 Fairway: 4.3 Tee: 4.6 Pro says: “I’d always go for the Tour version of the RocketBallz because the head is slightly more compact and sits a touch open so suits my eye better. He was a big fan of the aesthetics and powerful feel but thought there were more forgiving clubs on test. Anthony said it wouldn’t usually be a club he would go for but that the performance may change his mind. Mick loved the balance, weight, shape and feel, but found the slot in the sole was prone to snagging the grass on his takeaway on the fairway. He said that it was simply flawless as a driver replacement off the tee thanks to a deeper face but still performed well off the deck thanks to a higher launch with low spin. However, it also impressed in our subjective categories with David insisting it was one of the most forgiving on test thanks to fast ball speeds even on mis-hits. In fact, it was the longest on test for both pro James and Mick while also being among the most powerful for David and Anthony. And while there’s little doubt that the RocketBallz fairway wood has been golf’s most hyped product in 2012, according to our testers it was absolutely justified.The stats show RocketBallz performed both in terms of distance and dispersion for each of our four testers. In today’s world, marketing hype often exceeds performance and results. With the new RBZ Stage 2 version out now, you can find some great deals on this old model. And you need to regularly clean out the groove behind the face, which collects muck after one too many fat shots. It’s the first white club I’ve owned, and it looks great behind the ball – but it does need a good scrub now and again. It really flies off a tee, but I’ve found it launches quite low off the fairway. It’s now a regular driver replacement, because it often goes just as far, but much more consistently. That slot behind the face to help it flex at impact really works. I don't know about TaylorMade’s claims of “17 extra yards” – I’ve gained about 20 yards out of the 15° RBZ over my old 3-wood.
