TaylorMade Men’s RBZ Black Driver Review

With any club from TaylorMade, you can expect nothing but top-notch performance because over the years the company has established itself as one of the most trustworthy golf brands.

If you are on the hunt for a more affordable but still well-built and high-performing driver, their 460cc RBZ men’s driver is a perfect choice. This inexpensive club has a lot to offer from the unique TaylorMade speed pocket to an Ultralite titanium core and a special graphite shaft. And to top it all up, it comes in a lovely satin black finish and with a free headcover.

Features and Design

  • Large 460cc Head: The 460cc clubhead is the largest that is steel legal for use in tournaments and what many golfers love most about it is that it creates a larger clubface that makes off-center hits more forgiving, and the larger size also helps create more powerful shots. This larger titanium head also ensures maximum playability for golfers and more confidence at address.
  • Ultralite Titanium Core: With the Ultralite titanium core, the manufacturer can move more mass towards the clubhead’s perimeter and this results in a more forgiving driver, higher launch conditions and also gives golfers more control over their shots.
  • Adjustable Loft Sleeve: The adjustable loft sleeve is designed to make this a more customizable golf driver as it will allow golfers to customize both the launch and trajectory to suit their specific preferences.
  • Speed Pocket: Like with many of their other drivers and other club types, TaylorMade makes use of their famous speed pocket on the RBZ driver to help promote higher launch conditions while also reducing the ball spin for longer distances off the tee.
  • Shaft: TaylorMade uses a special graphite material to make the shaft on this driver which provides just the right flex during the swing and golfers also get to choose between senior, stiff and regular flex options.
  • Finish: Appearance always matters for most golfers because a driver not only needs to perform well but should also look good to boost their confidence when on the course. And besides having a highly attractive satin black finish, the RBZ driver also comes with some elegant detailing that helps with the alignment.
  • Extras: When you buy this driver you will not have to spend extra cash on a headcover as it will come with a free matching one.

Conclusion

Drivers are always becoming pricier as technologies improve and they become more feature-rich. But, you do not always need to spend over $500 to get a good driver as there are still many equally feature-rich and high-performing ones like the RBZ by TaylorMade that will cost you way much less. And besides being more affordable, this is still a highly forgiving driver that will always give you some impressive distances and you also get to choose from different flex and loft options.

For the price, there is hardly any shortcoming with this driver. And while some golfers might find the headcover cheap, this should not be an issue as it is a free add on, and better yet, headcovers are widely available and quite cheap. All in all, this is a top-notch driver that you will not regret buying.
