TaylorMade RBZ 3 Wood RocketBallZ reviewed by Mark Crossfield AskGolfGuru. PGA professional Mark Crossfield hits the TaylorMade RBZ stage two fairway and talks you through some of its features. With the speed slot and longer length shaft the Stage 2 RBZ fairway will offer distance and hopefully some level of control.

  1. The RBZ gives you 239yds carry and you say (at 4:10) that this is your
    average. I hate to bring this news to you Mark, but in a later video
    (Callaway XHot 3 Deep Fairway test) you say your average carry with your
    Ping G25 3 wood is 222yds or thereabouts. I think your giving this club a
    great dis-service. You have your missing 17yds.
    I don’t like the look either but if it sits well behind the ball is long
    and forgiving then it’s surely a contender.

  2. I just recently bought the RBZ three wood and I really like the look and
    feel of the club. Like Mark I have not seen the extra yardage; however I
    do like the consistency of this club. Great Reviews Mark, keep em coming.

  3. I think you missed the point with this review due to your resentment of
    TM’s marketing dept. I had a titleist 910f which I really struggled to hit
    consistently. I tried the stage 2 along with a ping g25 and a titleist 913f
    and it won hands down. I was hitting it the furthest, straightest and most
    consistently out of the lot. Swing it a bit harder and you’ll get your
    17yds ;-)

  4. I really enjoy Mark’s videos. I recently upgraded my 3 wood from the
    original white head 2.0 to the RBZ Stage 2. I do not buy new clubs because
    of the way a company advertises. Taylormade is way over the top when it
    comes to that. Here we have a player who looks like he just stripes it and
    he is carrying the 3 wood about the same distance as the 3 wood he uses.
    With that being said I do believe I am hitting the Stage 2 further than my
    old 3 wood and I love the sound off the face on a well struck shot. I am
    not a big fan of Taylormade irons or anything else they produce but when it
    comes to woods they are definitely the company you have to take a look at
    first.

  5. I absolutely hate the new taylor made drivers, woods and hybrids. The irons
    are good. The design of new woods are terrible. The feel is terrible. Even
    with an extra 10 yards or whatever taylor made says it would not be worth
    it to me. I have had a callaway hybrid since 2008 that has performed just
    as good, feels better and looks better. 

  6. Just purchased the Stage 2 HL. It goes like a rocket off of the tee,just
    short of my R11 driver. But still struggling off of the turf. Possibly
    because the grass is lying flat at the moment and i am unable to get any
    height with my fairway shots.

  7. I agree completely with Mark Taylormade’s marketing is waaay over the top
    but the clubs are great so you have to kind of just ignore it and hit the
    clubs and make your own mind up I have mostly Taylormade and the clubs I
    have are great including the RBZ 3 wood which is great and the 19 degree
    hybrid which is fantastic but they won’t be everyone

  8. I have an RBZ Driver at 10.5* and just got this 3 wood and hit it the same
    distance, into the wind the 3w goes further about 260-270 yards. Amazing
    really. 250m with 3wood and 260m with driver if I’m going balls out.

  9. I have the R11s 3-wood and tried the RBZ ands Stage 2 and only gained 5
    yard carry but about 15 total yards so it’s close to TM’s claim. But I
    don’t want my 3-wood to roll that Miu as I use it to hit off the deck tfot
    long approach so a higher launch softer landing 3-wood works better for me,
    not the RBZ/Stage2 that launches like a driver replacement

  10. I just turned 65 and decided to buy this driver as a present to myself. My
    handicap is around 12. I am not as long as I used to be, but with the new
    RBZ driver I am getting about 260 – 270 yds. off the tee. It really helps
    when I am able to hit shorter irons into the green.

  11. The second ball that you “went after” was a range ball so hitting it 240
    (the same distance as the real golf ball before it) means you actually got
    probably 15 extra yards off of it.

  12. Mark, in your 3 wood off the deck video from a good while ago now you say
    you aim 5-7 yards left because your 3 wood tends to drift for you. I’m just
    wondering if this is still the case?

  13. I tried this wood yesterday. The paint job while looks unattractive, it did
    helped me align the ball better. For a guy who struggles with fairway woods
    I was striking them extremely well! So well that I am actually planning to
    buy one in a month or so time after I have my swing in a better shape after
    winter lay-off (and cash in the kitty). According the track man I was
    hitting 3W same distance as my R7 driver (~270 yards). May be I’d finally
    have to buy a new driver too then 😀

  14. Mark, Despite what the guys in the Marketing Department at Taylor Made tell
    us, Is there really much of a difference between the Stage 1 RBZ 3 wood and
    the Stage 2? Prices of the Stage 1 have plummeted, Is it worth the extra
    for the Stage 2? Thanks.

  15. I’m really not sure what is up with TaylorMade. When I was demoing drivers
    and 3 woods I absolutely hated the shafts to no end so that was a no for
    me, but even in the distance category I could still hit my G20 3 Wood 250
    on average. The farthest hit I got with G20 3 wood was 275 and RBZ was 267,
    so I guess it’s all in the shaft and swing to actually get that extra
    yardage.
