The SLDR needs a lot of clubhead speed to make up for the low spin, so that is why the JetSpeed is better. The JetSpeed fairway will fly higher than the SLDR, but for the majority of golfers who may struggle with their driver then this could be a great alternative. It was pretty close in performance to both, especially the low spin SLDR driver, because the lower spin and higher launch with more ball speed, even from a slower club head speed, were still giving a long carry. To check this out when testing the JetSpeed driver against the SLDR on Flightscope I also put in the JetSpeed fairway wood in play and the results were very impressive. This increases the launch angle, lowers spin and combined with the higher ball speeds from the Speed Pocket and the reworked JetSteel face should give you more distance.
It is probably just the right size for most category 1 and 2 players.Īt address you will also notice there is no adjustable hosel and this combines with the changes in the Speed Pocket to save weight that TaylorMade have moved around the inside of the head to bring the Centre of Gravity (CG) lower and forward. Combined with the darker head colour, this makes it feel more compact generally and that is not a bad thing. The 3-wood is 165cc which is 10cc larger than the SLDR but actually 10cc smaller than the RBZ Stage 2. When you have the club at address, the other thing you will notice is the head size. I think the new styling will appeal to more golfers and the visual contrast between the face and top line is still there to help alignment. The design in the matt black head is familiar too, looking very similar to the 2007 TaylorMade Burner fairway. Certainly the feel from the club was excellent and the sound was a lot more solid than previous models.Ĭompared to the white razamatazz that surrounded the RBZ fairways, the silver face and dark head seem a bit understated. Unlike the RBZ Stage 2, it has been filled in with a polymer to keep it clear of debris and dampen down vibration for improved feel. In the JetSpeed the slot is actually smaller than before but it is also longer in length. The Speed Pocket has been the key to these super distance fairway woods because it enables the face to flex more and generate higher ball speeds from a smaller head. The TaylorMade JetSpeed fairway is the successor to the TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 fairway and features a curved Speed Pocket slot on the sole of the club like theTaylorMade SLDR fairway.
