Taylormade SldrDriver: Editor’s Review

Cons: The SLDR is lower than other TaylorMade drivers and has a more forward center of gravity. The SLDR allows players to release the ball faster and more efficiently, which leads to long drivers. You also get a slightly higher ball speed and more forgiveness for shots that are low to the face. Instead of white, the SLDR has a handsome gray metallic crown that reminds us of TaylorMade’s popular 300 Series drivers from the past. Its 20-gram sliding weight is also faster and easier to adjust that TaylorMade’s moveable weight systems, and allows for much more precise tuning.

Cons: The SLDR does not have a face angle adjuster like TaylorMade’s previous drivers. This will make it difficult for some golfers who want to alter the angle of their address to get to where they desire. You can’t use it as a standard driver. That is both good AND bad. SLDR drivers have a 3-degree range of adjustability (1.5 degrees up or down) 1 degree less than the R1. Although the R1 has a greater range of lofts (8, 9, 10.5 and 12, respectively), the SLDR drivers have a 3-degree adjustability (1.5 degrees up or down) that the R1. TaylorMade’s classic, glossy gray crown will suit those who enjoy TaylorMade and its matte white crowns.

Bottom Line: TaylorMade has added premium drivers in the last few years. The SLDR streamlines TaylorMade’s driver technologies to a more simple-to-use and powerful sliding mechanism. The driver has an extremely low, forward CG.

That combination of performance, simplicity and good looks makes it “the best driver TaylorMade has ever produced,” according to company officials, and we don’t think that’s too far from the truth.

Our testing showed that the SLDR is one of the special drivers that comes around every few years that has the potential to win over an enormous amount of golfers. The combination of the SLDR’s faster ball speed, lower spin and foolproof adjustability makes it arguably the best driver that TaylorMade has ever produced.

Golfwrx Spotlight – Tour Edge Exotics C721 Driver

Tour Edge’s Exotics golf club line has been highly regarded for their excellent hybrid and fairway wood performances over the years. High-quality products have been a hallmark of the Chicago-based business. This is something that golfers are starting to notice. C721 hybrids, fairway woodens and drivers are a big step up from the EXS range last year.

The new C721 driver takes a lot of technology from the 2020 EXS line and further refines and expands on it. I know it is a little cliche when companies say every model is their best ever, but Tour Edge is 100 percent right this time.

The C721’s improved shape and looks over Tour Edge models was my first impression upon opening it. The biggest change to my eye is the added bulge, giving a more rounded and softened topline.

C721 has a slightly triangular shape that is slightly stretched at the front and back. Ridgeback’s titanium spine is flanked with carbon fiber wings. Both add stability, forgiveness and comfort to the head.

You really get to see the technological aspects of the C721 when you take it out on the track. A well-struck shot is very long and very boring. It will compete with any driver available today. Center contact is rewarded with a long and very low spin shot that is just fun to hit.

You can feel and hear the ball moving at high speeds. There is a more muted crackle sound and it sounds much less than I expected. If you practice on an enclosed range your ears will thank you for your choice in drivers. The shots that are hit from the centre of the face keep a lot of speed and remain online well.

My miss was very low at the heel. However, those misses did not go far and stayed there. Ridgeback spine and weight ensure shots that are hit lower on the heel or on the toe end stay on-line well. Although the C721’s launch height is slightly lower than mine, the spinning head ensured that my shots didn’t balloon in the wind. As I played with my tee height, the face should have been a little higher. It is a great driver and the neutral weighting will be a big plus for better players.

Review: Ping’S Drivers G400 and L400

The first time that I was hit by Ping’s G30 driver, I can still recall it. It was July 2014, and I was at Ping’s HQ in Phoenix. At the time, super low spin drivers were a rage. Their forward center of gravity helped golfers achieve launch conditions that were beyond their wildest expectations. One of the drivers was a familiar face to many in our business. I spent many launch monitors trying to learn how to achieve more distance using these low spins. However, the bad news is that forward-CG driver were very intolerant by nature. Bad shots were short and uncoordinated.

Marty Jertson, Ping Director of Product Development, shared with me his vision on the perfect driver in an office at PingHQ. His vision of the ideal driver was not based on a high, forward center gravity (CG). It was placed as low and rearward as possible in the driver’s head. He stated that this would provide the best of both, optimizing launch conditions for good shots, and the greatest forgiveness possible on poor shots.

Although it was difficult to build the perfect driver, Jertson was thrilled with Ping’s G30. He was proud of his vision and the driver saw it as a testament to that. Rear-CG technology allowed it to travel great distances on both good shots and bad ones. The driver was very straight. G30 sold extremely well. The industry gradually shifted away form forward-CG drivers.

Ping just released a counterintuitive driver release after it has been almost three years since G30 was first introduced. The company shrunk the size of its new G400 drivers in a climate where full-size drivers have become the norm. It’s not much smaller than the G300, at 15 cubic centimeters, but still noticeable when you get to your destination. Compared to the Ping G drivers they replace (which replaced the G30), the G400’s look like they cut carbs.

The G400 drivers, despite their smaller frames, are more patient than the G drivers. That’s why Ping representatives say smaller is actually better in the G400’s case. The drivers have the lowest, most rearward CG of any Ping drivers ever, and their smaller size is said to improve their aerodynamics so golfers can swing them fractionally faster. Other big changes include a thinner, more flexible face material of T9S+ titan that helps golfers increase ball speed.

This review will compare the G400 LST and G400 LST. I brought them along to Launch Pad Carl’s Golfland, Bloomfield Hills, Mich. I hit five shots with each driver on Trackman IV, and to ensure as much of an apples-to-apples comparison as possible, I tested each driver head with the same shaft. I adjusted each driver’s heads to the same loft as possible.

Notice: All G, G LST, G400 drivers that I tried were at 10.5 degrees, with the heads adjusted to 9.5. G400 LST was lofted at 10 degrees. It was then adjusted to 9.4 degrees.

What Are The Reviews Like?

Surprise, surprise (or not): the SLDR driver has excellent ratings.

Based on more than 130 Global Golf reviews, it has 4.6/5 star with 93 Amazon reviews, and 4.6/5 star with 67 Taylor reviews. Made website.

Even though it is many years older, the driver still has relevance and provides a high quality, contemporary performance.

Taylormade Sldr Driver Review. – How Low Are The Spins?

Paul Club Reviews Golf Product Review 6 Comments This is a review on the 460cc TaylorMade SLDR drivers, which are considered companion clubs to the SLDR fairway wooden.

With a clubhead that’s larger and more forgiving than the 430cc model, the 460 SLDR driver packs a serious punch for high-spinners and other golfers alike.

To make informed purchasing decisions, read on.

How Does It Feel?

After much debate, I decided to mention Taylor. The “First Impressions” section reflected the feelings of the SLDR driver. This is not from an impact perspective but because it’s “presence.” The SLDR’s weight was noticeable when it arrived. You can think of the SLDR as a hammer. Also, the adjustment of the sliding weight can affect the balance. This is why it is important to dial in the weight. Some players may add another weight to the track, which allows them more accuracy in their adjustment.

The SLDR’s feel is very good, as it has the same sensations that we all love: the SLDR gives you a solid impact feel. The SLDR feels as if a ball is in the middle of your face. This gives you the feeling of a wall of steel winning the war of resistance for energy transfer at impact.

Which Online Store Should I Buy this Driver?

Amazon has limited stock and you will find cheaper prices elsewhere. I advise you to avoid Amazon at all costs. Amazon isn’t as reliable as it used to be for purchasing golf clubs.

While the SLDR model is quite old now, you can still find it in a couple places online. The driver can be purchased at great prices from two different places.

The first source is e. Bay. It is a superb resource for used and brand new SLDR drivers.

Global Golf has the second, and offers many deals and attractive policies. (Check out the latest coupon codes). This makes it very easy to purchase. They may be out of stock soon.
