A while back I broke the face of my Taylormade Burner TP driver, so I tested out a few new drivers and bought a Taylormade R1 with the stock TP shaft. From the start it was pretty long and straight even on mishits.

Recently I have been tweaking my swing to take some of the draw out of my iron shots, thus eliminating the occasional hook or crazy pull. While this resulted in more of a baby draw/straight flight with my irons, it was doing crazy things with my driver which took a lot of effort to hit it straight. My misses were either a short pull-draw(hook) or a crazy long straight push.

So I decided since I had this ultra-adjustable driver I would start seeing what it could do. I ended up with a really long, medium trajectory mini-fade which I repeated today every time I used the driver off the tee. That turned out to be 6/6 fairways hit at 300+ yards.

Previously being skeptical about adjustable clubs I am now a believer in the technology. My final settings for my R1 are interesting: 10 degree regular loft, 3 degrees open with the weights set up for a draw bias.

If you were skeptical like me and thinking about an R1, I highly recommend it!
