TaylorMade R15 and AeroBurner Drivers, Fairway Woods and Hybrids

Published

on

The list of technologies that TaylorMade has introduced through its “R” Series line of drivers in the last decade has become a sort of unofficial checklist through which many golfers have come to evaluate new models.

Moveable weights, adjustable hosels, bright-colored crowns and an emphasis on lower spin – TaylorMade’s R Series was at the start of each trend.

TaylorMade’s new R15 line, which includes new drivers, fairway woods and hybrids, uses those designs as well as a few new ones to create what the company is calling its “most technologically sophisticated, high-performance metal wood franchise ever.”

TaylorMade is also releasing new AeroBurner drivers, fairway woods and hybrids for 2015 that are lighter than the R15 models and offer improved aerodynamics as well as a new Speed Pocket to deliver more ball speed than previous lines.

Both the R15 and AeroBurner lines will be in stores Jan. 9, 2015.

R15 Drivers

34caafe82e48861e0df3174083983de2

The R15 drivers come in two sizes – 460 and 430 cubic centimeters – and continue TaylorMade’s commitment to designing drivers with a lower, forward center of gravity.

7e741d20913bc6dc5ed839becea12edf

Like their predecessors, the R15’s have a sliding weight track on the front of their soles, but the track now houses two sliding weights instead of one. The two weights are also heavier – they each weigh 12.5 grams compared to the SLDR’s single, 20-gram weight – and give golfers a new weighting option that improves forgiveness. Moving the R15’s weights to opposite ends of the weight track will improve the driver’s moment of inertia (MOI), a measure of a club’s ability to retain ball speed on mishits.

The design of the sliding track itself has also changed. Its curvature has been flattened to keep the center of gravity (CG) lower, especially when the weights are moved to the ends of the track, and the heaviest part of the weights, which used to rest inside the track, have been moved to the outside to further lower CG.

The result of the changes? According to TaylorMade testing, the R15 drivers launch 0.5-to-1 degree higher with about 100-to-200 rpm less spin than their predecessors. Their heads are also 4 grams lighter, which will help some golfers swing them a little faster.

Both the R15 460 and R15 430 have TaylorMade’s 4-degree Loft Sleeve that allows golfers to adjust loft, lie and face angle.

The R15 460 ($429) is TaylorMade’s larger, more forgiving model. It’s available in glossy black and matte white in lofts of 9.5, 10.5, 12 and 14 degrees. It comes stock with Fujikura’s Speeder 57 Evolution shaft (X, S, R and M Flexes) and has Lamkin’s 48-gram performance grip.

R154606729b642254c6a9352cce0d2d1ba5481

The R15 430 ($429, white only) is TaylorMade’s smaller, lower-spinning design. It’s offered in lofts of 9.5, 10.5 and 12 degrees and comes stock with Fujikura’s Speeder 67 Evolution shaft (S and R flexes, X-flex is custom only).

The TP version of the R15 460 ($499) has a stock Fujikura Speeder 661 Evolution Tour Spec shaft (X, S and R) and the TP version of the R15 430 ($499) has Fujikura’s Speeder Evolution 757 Tour Spec shaft, both with aftermarket graphics and Lamkin’s UTx grip. More than 20 custom TP shafts are also available for no additional upcharge.

R15 Fairway Woods and Hybrids

R15 Fwy_3_4

TaylorMade’s R15 fairway woods ($279) mark the first time that TaylorMade has added a sliding weight to a fairway wood. They have a single, 25-gram tungsten weight on the front of their soles that moves weight low and forward, and the weight can be positioned toward the toe to increase fade bias or toward the heel to increase draw bias.

R15 Fwy_Address

According to TaylorMade, the sliding weight track on the R15 fairway woods also acts much like the company’s “Speed Pocket,” creating more spring-like effect at impact that improves ball speed, particularly on mishits.

R15 Rescue_3_4

The R15 hybrids ($219) have a compact “peanut” head shape that measures 99 cubic centimeters – good for players looking for more versatility and a neutral trajectory from their hybrid clubs. They use an open channel on the front of their sole that boosts ball speed across the face.

R15 Rescue_Address

The R15 fairway woods have the same 4-degree Loft Sleeve as the R15 driver and come in standard lofts of 15, 16.5, 19 and 20.5 degrees. They come stock with Fujikura’s Speeder 77 Evolution shaft (X, S, R and M Flexes) and a TP version ($289) with Fujikura’s Speeder 757 Evolution Tour Spec shaft will also be available.

R15 Hybrids

R15 Rescue_Face

The R15 hybrids have a 3-degree Loft Sleeve and come in lofts of 17, 19, 21 and 24 degrees. The stock shaft is Fujikura’s Speeder 77 Evolution hybrid (X, S, R and M Flexes) and a TP version will sell for $289 with Fujikura’s Speeder 869 Evolution Tour Spec shaft.

AeroBurner Drivers

AB Driver_3_4

Fully assembled, TaylorMade’s AeroBurner driver weighs less than 300 grams. Its lightweight design works with TaylorMade’s “Aero Hosel” – a small fin located on the hosel of the club – that is specially designed to reduce drag. This helps boost club head speed, one of the main components of distance.

AB Driver Fin

The other important parts of creating distance – ball speed, launch angle and spin rate – are improved with TaylorMade’s fourth-generation Speed Pocket, which is twice the size of the Speed Pocket used in the AeroBurner’s predecessor, TaylorMade’s JetSpeed driver.

AB Driver Address

The reason the AeroBurner does not have an adjustable hosel, the company says, is because of the size of the new Speed Pocket, which extends across the entirety of the sole for even better performance, especially on mishits. It also creates more face flexion that causes shots to launch higher with less spin – a key to creating the optimal launch conditions that lead to longer drives.

The AeroBurner driver ($299) measures 460 cubic centimeters and comes in lofts of 9.5, 10.5, 12 and HL. Its stock shaft is Matrix’s RUL-Z 60 (S, R, M and L flexes, X-Flex is Custom Only) and it has a standard length of 45.75 inches.

A TP version of the AeroBurner driver ($369) has a longer 0.335-inch diameter hosel that accommodates TaylorMade’s TP shaft offerings. The stock TP shaft offering is Matrix’s Ozik 6X4 White Tie (X, S and R).

The AeroBurner fairway woods and hybrids combine the size of the original TaylorMade RocketBallz Speed Pocket with the Thru-Slot technology that debuted on the company’s 2014 fairway wood models. The result is a sweet spot that is twice as large as those models, according to TaylorMade.

5ba4770bfcbfb4481840f8e817eb45ca

According to Brian Bazzel, TaylorMade’s senior director of product creation for metal woods, the new Speed Pocket in the AeroBurner fairway woods and hybrids has been in development for several years, but had not been brought to retail because of durability concerns.

“We finally got it right,” Bazzel said.

Find out what TaylorMade’s tour players thought about the new products in an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look.

AB Rescue_3_4

Both clubs use a low, forward center of gravity to reduce spin and have ultra-thin, Ni-Co 300 superalloy steel faces for faster ball speeds. They also have 0.5-inch shorter shaft lengths than their predecessors, TaylorMade’s JetSpeed fairway woods and hybrids, to give golfers more control.

The AeroBurner fairway woods ($229) are offered in 3 (15 degrees), 3HL (16.5 degrees), 5 (18 degrees), 5HL (21 degrees) and 7 (23 degrees) and come stock with either Matrix’s Speed RUL-Z 60 (S, R and M flexes, X-flex is custom only) or Matrix’s Speed RUL-Z 50 (L-Flex) that both measure 43.25 inches.

The AeroBurner hybrids ($199) are offered in the following models: 3 (19 degrees) 4 (22 degrees), 5 (25 degrees) and 6 (28 degrees).

A TP version of the AeroBurner fairway woods ($299) and hybrids ($269) have 0.355-inch hosels, which accommodate TaylorMade’s TP shaft selection and have lie angles that are 2 degrees flatter and face angles that are 1 degree more opened.

    R15 = SLDR 3.0
    White is the new black… gray is the new white… white is the new gray (because gray didn’t sell very well).

    Does this R15 come with a dose of Ritalin? Seems like all the adjustable features were designed for golfers with ADHD.

    There is a law that we as golfers sometimes forget. It’s called the law of diminishing marginal
    utility. It’s just like an olympic power lifter. His increase in best lifts is miniscule in relation to
    his weight lifted. Benching 555 pounds vs 550, is a fraction of improvement. most of us can’t come any where
    near that weight. So with golf clubs, are all of the new clubs from any manufacturer going to make a significant
    improvement at this point, and is all the additional money worth it for the extra 2 yards, knowing that you probably
    need to be of the caliber of an Olympic lifter or pro golfer to get that improvement. How about if there was less R&D expense
    and Marketing expense and consumers could buy a driver for 1/2 to 1/3 of the price new.

    The head cover is the same style as the Adams drivers from last year.
    Very nice and easier to put on an take off than the SLDR head cover.

    I was able to hit the R15 at golfsmith today and was quite impressed with the club. I am not a TM lover nor am I a hater. I do dislike their 7x year product roll-out, but if they keep selling their product, why change. I compared the R15 to the 915 D2, the 915 had a very springy and responsive clubface, but the backspin was waaaayyyy too high 3K. When I hit the R15 my launch angle was 12 and backspin 22-24K I was hitting a more boring shot. I have never been able to have a backspin rate that low.

      I use a metal tip in my SLDR right now. It’s a Stage 2 tip, that worked in the SLDR and the R15. At least at STD loft.

    Interesting. Whether you like it or hate it TM really have amazing ability to churn it out. I know it is really bad for the vendors, these short product cycles which is not good. The Aeroburner TP’s might be the sleeper clubs in the woods and the hybrids. I will be interested in seeing those. I have owned almost every driver, FW and hybrid by every manufacturer over the last 5 years. I always wait till winter to buy last years product. I always get the stuff at a third of the original cost, I never have buyers remorse that way. Everybody makes good stuff these days you have to find what you like best. I like the Ping and Titleist equipment I have. I also like the TM, Callaway, Mizuno, and my stuff from smaller companies like SCOR and EDEL. I love my Japanese Geotech, Sakamoto, Miura and Crews equipment. Finally got two SLDR drivers. Love golf and I love the new technology of golf. It’s small baby increments each release, but generally the equipment is improving in some way. TM has a few interesting products for late 2014 early 2015.

    Does anyone have swing weights for the new R15’s? If I recall, the SLDR was pretty heavy. Just wondering if the R15 is the same.

  13. George

    Nov 20, 2014 at 11:35 am

    I bought the SLDR in March 2014. Its a very good club but I feel kind of duped by TaylorMade right now.

    Different strokes (pun intended) for different folks … I’ve never been a fan of
    the matte white or the racing-inspired graphics.
    That said, the R15 headcover does look pretty bad ass …

    Don’t get where people come up with these 6 month release cycles.
    The SLDR was released in July 2013. The R15 is January 2015.

    That being said I know the peanut hybrid is not for me. Tried several
    Adams and never felt comfortable with the setup. Better golfers seem
    to prefer it though.

    Nov 16, 2014 at 8:53 pm

    Does anyone know how much the MOI will increase by moving the weights all the way to the side? I have the SLDR and low MOI is definitely a concern of mine. thinking about switching to either Nike or Titleist.

    Nov 16, 2014 at 2:45 pm

    i really wanted to see 3 moveable weights in the driver but I guess I will settle for 2 at least that is 2 more than ping

    Nov 16, 2014 at 1:56 pm

    I use to have a bag full of TaylorMade clubs, but not any longer. I now play all Ping G25 clubs with Scor wedges and couldn’t be happier. Don’t get me wrong as TMag does make some good clubs but I got tired of my clubs being outdated in a few months. I love the 2 year cycle that Ping has. But we as golfers beleive a lot of the hype that a lot of the big OME’s say. I find it’s easier to find what works for you, take some lessons and practice a lot and then you won’t have to buy new stuff every year.

  21. roxald

    Nov 16, 2014 at 12:46 pm

    The R15 Hybrid has a face shape with shades of the Adams Hybrids:-)
    Not necessarily a bad thing.
    I’m still bagging the R9 Tour 4-would, but I like the looks of the R15 Fairways that would be the club I try from this line…Still would prefer a Black finish tho.

    I’ve been checking out these threads on WRX for a couple years now. When I first got on here any time Taylormade introduced something new there was a bunch of possitive comments from people who couldn’t wait to get them. But as these release cycle’s have gotten closer and closer people are clearly losing faith in their products to the point after reading this thread I’ve seen hardly any positive comments. If any Taylormade exec’s follow WRX they should recognize this and consider changing their release cycle strategy before they lose all credibility. I would humbly suggest a two year cycle like Titleist. But to keep fresh products cycling regularly have a game improvement line and a low handicap line that alternate between years. Plus keep the current name on their high end balls.

    Stopped buying TMAG after purchasing an RBZ 10.5 driver. Still using it with great results. No TMAG irons since
    the R7 TP. Last T/M wedges were the xFT TPs.
    Don’t see anything coming up I would jump on. Demo’d most 14 model drivers and liked the Ping G30 the best,
    plus their I25 &S55 irons were the best. My top wedges were the Mack Daddy 2s! No T/Ms in my future!
    No allegiance to any company, best demo wins

    Nov 15, 2014 at 1:41 am

    Aerobuner = RBZ Stage 3. R15 = SLDR 2.0. Aeroburner hybrid = Adams a12 Pro.

    I’m here just to read all the slap stick comedy I love u cats ! At some point we will realize that tour pros often placlubs several generations old they slap the new head covers on the drivers and fairways but rarely changes clubs that includes irons wedges and all woods from 5-1 aka driv
    er . Gaing 5 yards in SOME cases isn’t even worth the learning curve . I shoot in the 80’s period and until I break 70 consistancy im not changing equipment I don’t care what they promise every equipment change is a set back as it take weeks if not months to trust a new addition to my bag .

    And a brand new model of driver release a couple months ago, and likely marketed as “optimal”, just dropped in price at Dick’s. But sure these are optimal optimal in their distance/forgiveness…. Thanks for saving us more money, TM.

    If you look at the sole of the Aero Burner driver, you can see that TM put a #1 on it. I have nothing against TM (my woods are all TM) but to try to plug their “#1 driver in golf” slogan on the actual club? seems a little cheap..

    The r15 hybrid has a great shape, reminds me of the Tour Issue Deep Face aka Peanut. They were great, played much more like an iron just slightly higher flight and much better from rough. Would rather pay 50 bucks on ebay for one of those.

    Aero Burner clubs look like a junior set, or twins of the “Dick’s exclusive” Burner 3.0. Terrible fonts, ugly crown graphics, supremely upright lie angles, and fixed hosels are all going to push people to the more expensive R15

    The R15 and Big Bertha 815 are head to head in looking like a Transformer or Iron Man. Do classic designs just not sell? The red lettering on the sole for the logo of Aero Burner is unnecessarily flamboyant and belongs on clubs designed for ages 12 and under.

    The Aeroburner slot looks like a Mick Jagger spitting image puppet!

      You might want to look closer at the length, 45.75 on burner. 45.5 on r15

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
