TaylorMade r5 Dual N (Drivers)

IN: PRODUCT REVIEWS | CATEGORY: Drivers | USER RATING: (4.4) | Add A Review
The r5 dual Type D and r5 dual Type N each boast an extraordinarily high moment of inertia (MOI) that delivers exceptional stability for better results on mis-hits. Yet these drivers differ in a crucial way: each is engineered to deliver a specific type of trajectory. The r5 dual Type D is engineered to promote a draw, while the r5 dual Type N is engineered to promote a neutral, or straight ball flight. Both the Type D and Type N are extremely large, measuring 450 cubic centimetres. Heads that size were made possible by TaylorMade's Super-Thin Wall (STW) casting technology, which allows the clubhead walls to be made 20% thinner than those of a typical titanium wood. STW was developed for and is used in TaylorMade's r7 quad and r7 quad TP drivers.

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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). ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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, ... Show

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 ... Show
