TaylorMade R15 TP
By S. Dee Davis
The new R15 Driver from TaylorMade may seem like the SLDR reincarnated with a different paint job, but there is some new technology sure to get your drives out there, longer & straighter. The clean-looking head boasts two moveable weights on the sole, which can be tinkered with to produce a higher ball flight while decreasing spin. To achieve this, TM has moved the weighting forward and lower, with about 75% of its mass in the front of the club. The two moveable sole weights (12.5 grams) are closer to the clubface to provide more power, and additional adjustability for your preference of fade and draw shots. The sound is solid to louder, but the tight dispersion pattern you will have is great and shows the excellent level of control you can have with this driver.
