TaylorMade R1 Driver Preview

[JTnumbers]

I hit this today, got it fitted to me with the right specs and shaft and HATED it. It's just blah. The graphics aren't awful. I actually don't mind them. I hit this side by side with the X-Hot and I would take the X-Hot everyday of the week. The feel wasn't good. The sound was horrendous. WORSE then the R11S. Yes, I said it. The only redeeming factor was that it was long and ball flight was good. Dispersion was good as well. However, the X-Hot felt SO much better, was 5 yards longer consistently, AND had the same ball flight and dispersion pattern as the R1.

This guy is disappointed.
