Tried many drivers before deciding on the R5, 10.5 Deg reg flex shaft with a soft tip. Instant eradication of slice and fade to dead straight and a slight draw when I want it. Has added distance and accurracy plus loads of confidence to my game.

Originally borrowed my R5 ( 9.5, reg’ shaft, N bias ) from a mate to compare to my Ignite 10.5 degree driver( regular shaft ). I couldn’t pay my mate quick enough to get the club from him. After many ” comparison” hits at my local club, I can honestly say it is a 10 – 20 metre better club. The trajectory is much lower than the Nike ignite and is much better in the wind. The only drawback with this club is actually my fault, but, my occasional slice is punished by disappearing further into the trees than my old driver.

I had an R5 N driver a few years back, and used to hit it a country mile. Then for some reason, while I was in the states, I bought a titleist 905r, and while I hit that fairly well, it wasn’t the same as the R5. I have since upgraded to the R5 TP model, with the diamana shaft, and I’m getting straight drives (slight draw), and averaging about 270m off the tee. I couldn’t be happier! I just wish that I hadn’t wasted a few months of my golf life with the titleist!

The R5D is the first larger head driver that I have owned. I bought it to try and get some consistency in my drives. I cant say I hit it any further but certainly had increased dramatically the amount of fairways I hit. I have a 9.5 deg with the stiff shaft. It isn’t a miracle club and you still have to put a great swing on it to hit straight, but if your regular swing produces a fade, I would definately recommend this club.

As a low 20s handicapper I bought this club on advice from my coach and it made an immediate impact to my game. I bought the 12 degree r5N and my only complaint is that I no longer “need” that much loft (although that was a known when I bought it).

The confidence a club like this gives me off the tee is the single biggest thing that I have done to improve my game.

Bit of a disaster really, regret I ever bought it. Has a real liking to fly way left and low in direct contrast to the magnificent V-Steel. Very hard to find sweetspot.

This r5duel d driver changed my game in a big way when i first started using it. I was stoked with the distance and accuracy i was acheiving.However if you stray slightly on an outside to in on the downswing be prepared for a nasty ugly duckhook.

I bought a R540 9.5 stiff for my son and loved it so much I went to Drummond Golf and tried out a R5 Dual. I wanted a stiff 10.5 but they convinced me to buy a 10.5 reg and picked one for me to hit in shop net with all the computer analysing. It felt good and they told me it was the club for me so I bought it. But I just couldn’t hit it straight or fade it at all – always left! It was then that I discovered the “D” meant draw bias. I took it back and explained I have always had a draw and my worst shot is a pulled hook. They said they would ring around and see if any “N” was available but no luck so they said “Bad Luck”. Very crappy backup from Drummond Golf and I would recommend you avoid them for advice. Just pick the specials you want and don’t believe a word they say. Luckily the nice Pro at Nudgee GC had a 2nd hand 1.5 stiff and he swapped it for no cost. Now I am happy and can move it both ways.

I’ve recently borrowed an R5 Dual N from a mate, and am blown away with the club. For the last 5yrs i have been a slicer off the tee – but since hitting the R5 N type i have only been hitting straight – and long!! Love the club!!

After trying draw bias drivers a few times & not being impressed,this club fell into my hands by accident when my son purchased it on ebay, without my knowledge. After having fought with a slice forever i opted to try this club anyway.Ever the sceptic imagine my surprise when i started hitting drives straight & even with a slight draw,now i find i am hitting fairways regularly & even getting compliments about my accurate driving.Distance is a little down on my previous driver(cleveland launcher ti)but not much.So if you are fighting a slice try this club ,it certainly has changed my game completely.

No idea why, but my R5 with Graf blue seemed to hit the ball miles into the atmoshphere. When we got along, we got along famously. But in the end, I think the shaft was the thing that convinced me to give it up. No question the club is forgiving, straight and long but when it was bad, it was bad. I'd love to have hit one with an aldila NV65 or grafalloy prolite for comparison.

Only having one arm I seemed to be strugging with major slices with my drivers. (I had a few.) So I thought I'd try the Type-D. I am so glad I did. I'm easily seeing 200m+ and averaging more like 230m-250m without the banana flight characteristic of my previous drivers.

I was absolutely crushing it from day 1, then seemed to slack off for some reason, but am now back on track. I can confidently pull the driver out now and actually look forward to it.

I just love it and can't be too upset when I drive it too far and end up through the dogleg in the rough. I actually wonder what it might be like with less loft, currently using 10.5, as I'm sure it would go a mile.

I previously had an Adams 9.5 degree which went an unbelievable distance but had an uncontrollable slice.

I have had the driver now for about 3 months and have never had the confidence to hit the ball so hard! I am swinging as hard as I can knowing that if I am off centre, it isn't going to cause me a major concern.

I used to drive the ball 200-210m with my old driver (old being an understatement) and when I first purchased the R5 I was being very revised with my driving. I wasn't hitting the ball hard at all. I am now driving the ball 250+m consistently and confidently.

Great club.

I first came across a TaylorMade driver in the guise of the 580 and thought it would be a long time before I found anything to surpass it.

Well after initially discounting the idea, I had a hit with the r5 dual (N) and was absolutely blown away by its solid feel and awesome distance carriage. I have never felt so much in control than when I address the ball with the r5 in my hand. The confidence this club allows you to have is so reassuring and allows your line of sight to be all encompassing of the hole rather than a 3/4 placement of the ball that invariably creates more mental unrest and confused hope.

Great at address gives good confidence boost is a little shorter on distance than the ignite but a lot straighter the TP would be even beter

A truly great club that allows for confidence at the tee. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking a consistant and forgiving driver.

Very forgiving driver. Excellent feel and you can really tell when you hit it correctly. This driver is an excellent club to have in your bag, and its promotes confidence.

This driver has changed my game. Previously I was hitting three-metals out of frustration at the low cuts I hit with a driver. Now I'm almost driving par-fours. It has a closed face and the weights which promote a draw. In my case it has almost eliminated my slice and block, meaning I can stand square and generally hit it dead straight. Above all, it has given me the confidence to stand up and hit the ball with a driver. I'm off a 15 handicap and I don't get flush contact every single time. Therefore I need the help this club gives me. If you are a mid-handicapper and you can put away the ego and acknowledge this fact, you're on the way.

I had high hopes for this club and have not been let down. I couldn't believe how straight I hit the ball. This club maybe bad for my overall golf because I was just bashing the ball in the end such was the confidence I have in this club.

I considered a r7 but thought way pay extra when I am just going to set it up one way? This club is already set up to cure my slice.

Highly recommended.
