  1. i think it is a great idea to give you every loft setting nowadays, and
    will probably save you money….swings change, especially amateur swings,
    so if oyu get custom fit and then a year later you have a better/different
    action, your club is no longer specced to your needs….so i think its
    great to be able to fiddle around with lofts to get your optimum launch.
    and when you find you have a different attacck angle a year later you can
    adjust and loft down or up and don´t have to get custom fit for a new club
    again….just my 2 cents

  6. Hi Mark, i’m an 18 handicapper and i have a medium swing speed….then will
    u recommend this driver to me….if you recommend then should i buy regular
    shaft or stiff shaft?

  7. I disagree with getting fitted vs having the option to adjust it…majority
    of the amateurs do not have consistent swing, getting them fitted won’t
    help much. I got fitted for R-Bladez irons, wasnt swinging great at the
    time, and now I have fixed my swing, but the clubs dont fit my swing…My
    advice, never get fitted until you have lessons, and swing correctly
    otherwise it is just waste of money!

  8. @Naqsh Thind
    It depends on what you mean by “medium” swing speed, but more than likely
    you should use regular.

    When my average driver SS hit 105 I switched to stiff…nowadays it is an
    average 116 and I switched to x stiff (just an example, may not be the same
    for everyone).

  16. ive got the burner superfast 2.0 tp driver and I hit it like 280 yards and
    I tested the r1 out a fue days ago and I am buying it cause I got like 300
    yards out of it and I can do what ever I want with the club so I think the
    r1 is the best culb in the world, that has ever been made apart from the
    906 f2 fairway wood …

  17. He SHOULD review the cb3’s. I just got a set and damn im impressed. Hit my
    buddies new vrs cb’s and i honestly hit my adams further and with better
    feel and feedback. Nice set of irons IMO

  18. Why does everyone seem to care what other people use as drivers? No one is
    an idiot, we all know that the R1 is not that big of an improvement from
    the R11 or R11s, but we buy it anyways. Know why? Because we like
    taylormade clubs. If I didnt like taylormade I wouldnt buy an R1. If you
    dont like taylormade thats fine! I really dont care what you play, and you
    shouldnt care what I play. Just play the damn game!

  21. Nice review, I’m waiting to see the Callaway RF Xtreme and X Hot Pro
    drivers before buying for 2013. The Matrix Black tie as a stock shaft
    offering really appeals. Lets see all the 2013 drivers head to head in a
    shoot out on Trackman with you and the James’.

  24. G20 great club. Or maybe the cobra amp, not the cell. These are both GREAT
    and probably on sale. I have got the g20 R-flex 10.5 just make sure you
    give those 2 a hit.

  25. Not a fan of the paint job on the crown. I recently got the R11s and like
    it a lot. Asked a rep at the local pro-shop and he said all TM did was
    repaint the old ones!

  26. well no shit i know they put time and research and months of testing into
    each club but they do this every year and already have the staff and
    equipment to do so. You have to be retarded to believe that every year you
    can gain 17 yards with this a 22 with that. so in 10 years do u expect to
    hit the ball 450 off the tee which is gaining 20 yards on a current 250.
    dumbass

  30. I was able to hit the r1 913 cover tour and the amp cell yesterday. I will
    have to say with 305 average carry and 325 roll out avg. I have to say the
    r1 took over the show. It was 20 yards further than all the rest. I’m
    ordering my tp today

  31. cause its a waste. i know its fun to get the newest thing but why waste it
    and honestly unless your on tour or a low handicapper the latest thing
    should help you that much what it really does is make you look like a
    horrible golfer when you have a $400 driver and hit a duff or huge slice.
    you would look better just having a r9 which is just as good but “old” in
    some peoples mind

  32. A completely adjustable driver will only marginally improve your long game
    and will have no effect on your short game, so take that in mind before you
    fork out 400 quid on one of these things

  33. Please do a r11s v r1 as I have an r11s an really want to get the r1, but
    would like to see if there is any difference between the clubs… An would
    it justify the 290quid upgrade??

  35. Great video again, Got to say the price of these is just crazy £300+, I get
    they have adjustability, but god that’s a lot of dosh for the average
    amateur. I’m a fan of Taylormade, having invested in the R11 3 wood last
    year, and yup I tinkered with the settings, as with most amateurs I slice,
    and I have to say made a difference. I get the feeling though Mark your not
    a big fan of the adjustable in clubs?? Just a great big shame, I would love
    one of these, but £300+ never ever gonna happen.
