One of the great features found in this new weapon from Taylormade is the ability to be adjusted from 8 degrees loft to 12. During our indoor test the R1 showed great numbers but it was in our outdoor test that the numbers and performance skyrocketed. The R1 driver has to be the best driver released to date by Taylormade Golf. The sound of the driver is solid (not to loud a ping), and the feel is just as solid.

Ping has been leading the industry in custom fitting for years.  They offer some of the easiest and best custom fitting options in the industry.  They have always wanted their customers to buy what fits them, not just clubs off the rack.  I think that all golfers should get fit for their clubs too, everyone has a different swing.  But what happens when you go in for a fitting and after a few weeks with a club your swing changes slightly, it would be nice to be able to alter the club to fit the new swing.  Ping finally jumped into the adjustable driver game with the Anser driver.  It fits very...0December 17, 2012
