“I brought the prototype out to some players and Dustin Johnson was the first one to test it,” said Todd Chew, Tour Product Specialist. In case you didn’t know the distinct name is based on testing TMAG tour staffer Dustin Johnson’s experience with the prototype. The RocketBallz fairway wood is one of the most successful launches in golf history and yes there is also a driver and hybrid that is part of the line. To date, TaylorMade’s market share in metal woods is 50% and their fairway woods make up 75%. TaylorMade made more money last year than every other golf equipment company in the world combined. Yes the name may have sounded goofy at first but TaylorMade knows what they’re doing.

All this gossiping really did was give TaylorMade a lot of free advertising and created an enormous buzz around the product. There were snickers, jokes, humorous pictures posted, threats to TaylorMade to never buy another club again and predictions that this signaled the end of this dominant golf company that we know TaylorMade to be.

The Stage 2 driver is definitely worth a try, and at only a $299 pricetag will get you pretty solid results for a low price.When TaylorMade first announced that the name for their newest line replacing the Burner series was going to be RocketBallz, the social media universe exploded. However, in comparison to other models, like the original RBZ, I felt this club was sort of a let down. In my opinion, the driver was more consistent and felt better than the R1 driver, so Taylormade has a win on that front. The TaylorMade Stage 2 driver retails for a standard $299 price. The RocketBallz Stage 2 driver feels great throughout the swing and impact – and I was a big fan. The lighter shaft makes it easy to feel the club head throughout the swing. The Stage 2 driver features a D6 swing weight with a lightweight Fujikura RocketFuel shaft that weighs 51 grams with 4.5 degrees of torque. The ultra light shaft is designed to promote faster swing speed, and definitely helps with feeling that sensation. The softer impact sensation feels like the ball springs off the club face. Impact felt really nice and produced a louder sound (than the R1) with very soft club face. However, the Stage 2 fell short of my expectations overall. Personally, I preferred the Stage 2 over the R1. Misses produced a higher ball flight that tended to drift to the right. Solid hits produced good distance with a fairly straight and high ball flight. If the original RocketBallz driver was in my bag, I probably would not make the upgrade.

I tried the Stage 2 driver on a number of occasions and never found consistent results similar to the original RocketBallz driver. Results yielded a high ball flight, exactly what the club and light weight shaft is designed to do. I tested the TaylorMade Stage 2 driver in the 9.5 degree stock Fujikura RocketFuel shaft in stiff flex.

The trendy line is a nice update from the original RocketBallz line but overall the club looks very similar to the original. The TaylorMade Loft-Sleeve offers 7 standard and 5 upright loft options where golfers can alter add or decrease 1.5 degrees of loft. In addition, TaylorMade positioned a weight behind the club face to lower the CG, promote faster ball speeds with a higher launch and low spin. The 460 cc club head looks easy to hit at address with a similar design as the previous RocketBallz driver. The updated appearance features a yellow and gray color scheme on top of the white club head with black club face and sole. TaylorMade made their original RocketBallz clubs RocketBallzier with the release of the Stage 2 line. This new driver is said to be a leg up on the original Rocketballz, but we’ll let our reviewer take a closer look. We’ve got another independent review of the new 2013 offering from Taylormade up next – the RocketBallz Stage 2 Driver.
