TaylorMade RocketBallz Stage 2 Golf Drivers
The TaylorMade RocketBallz Stage 2 Driver was released in 2013 with several key upgrades from the original, including a lower and more forward centre of gravity, aerodynamic head design, thinner crown construction, and new crown graphics. This forgiving driver is built for golfers who want to add yards off the tee. Its 460cc clubface delivers a larger sweet spot for more consistent distance on mishits. Additionally, improved aerodynamics reduce drag during the swing, leading to faster clubhead speeds and longer drives.
Key features include:
| Thick-Thin Crown | Provides lower and more forward CG location promoting faster ball speed, high launch, and low spin. |
| Inverted Cone Technology | Milled into the inner side of the larger clubface, this tech expands the portion of the face that delivers high ball speed. |
| Improved Aerodynamics | Reduce drag over the head for faster clubhead speed while the expansive clubface provides a larger sweet spot. |
| Adjustable Loft Sleeve | Allows golfers to tune the trajectory of the shot with 12 positions and 1.5 degrees of loft adjustment. |
| Shaft and Grip | This driver comes standard with the Fujikura RocketFuel shaft (50 grams) and TaylorMade’s lightweight grip. |
Top Competitors
The Callaway Diablo Octane Driver is a strong contender in the same price range as the RocketBallz Stage 2, offering similar features like a large forgiving face and focus on distance. A key differentiator is Callaway’s Jailbreak technology to promote more efficient energy transfer for distance gains. This is an alternative path to achieving distance compared to the weight saving and potential lower CG focus of the RocketBallz Stage 2. The Ping G15 Driver offers a slightly different option, prioritizing adjustability for golfers who want more control over their ball flight. It features a large face and internal weighting technology for distance potential, similar to the RocketBallz Stage 2. The key differentiator is the sleeve system that allows golfers to adjust loft to fine-tune launch conditions for their swing.
Progression of the Stage 2 driver:
The TaylorMade RocketBallz Stage 2 Driver (2013) evolved from the original RocketBallz (2012), improving performance through better aerodynamics, a larger sweet spot through advancements in face technology, and lighter materials for faster clubhead speeds and more distance gains.
Here are the specific upgrades:
- New loft sleeve which provides the capability to change the loft of the clubhead approximately 1.5 degrees in either direction.
- Along with the change in loft the club also provides 60 yards of adjustability by making changes to the loft sleeve.
- Clubface has been increased to an expansive 4,100 square-millimeters and the CG has been moved forward through inventive design of the crown of the clubhead.
- An ultra-light Fujikura RocketFuel 50 gram graphite shaft to promote faster swing speeds.
- The sound of the clubhead is more muted and not overly loud as in the original RocketBallz.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| The head has a muted solid sound that delivers excellent feedback but remains forgiving. |
| This driver is smooth and looks great standing over it. |
| I have easily added distance to my drive without changing my swing. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| The shaft is longer than most, so you have to work on it, as it can cause you to lose a little control. |
| I really like this driver, but it may be too advanced for me. I'm still fighting a slice I've developed and suspect a more forgiving club would be better. |
| Really pops when you hit it right, but I really hate the colors on top. |
The TaylorMade RocketBallz Stage 2 driver has an expanded clubface that gives the player more surface area to hit. The large black and white face is super easy to align. Compared to the original RocketBallz driver, this one is faster and longer. With a more forward CG location, you will experience a higher launch and lower spin. This driver generates lots of center hits and not a ton of misses. Toe hits are often corrected into high draws. When you do have a miss-hit, it surprisingly never feels that bad.
