Video Review: TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 Driver

In this video our Instruction Editor Kit Alexander reviews the RBZ Stage 2 on our 2013 test.

While the TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 driver may not contain the speed pocket featured in the RBZ Stage 2 fairway, that didn’t stop the ball feeling like it came off the face like a rocket. James hit his longest drive of the day with this club, Joel hit his second longest and Kit and Graeme’s distances were well above average on the day.

Straighthitting was also synonymous with this club as Joel’s dispersion was down to just five yards, as was James’, while Graeme’s was just nine yards. The unique crown design wasn’t to everyone’s taste, but the stand-out performance of this club ensured our testers soon dismissed any negatives about the looks. The RBZ Stage 2 was the preferred choice of our test team over the R1.

Pros: Moving the CG slightly towards the heel will please many amateurs. The combination of adjustability and added distance over the previous model justifies an upgrade.
Cons: The R1 offers more adjustability and forgiveness. The crown design won’t be to everyone’s taste.
