Taylormade Sldr Driver Review & For Sale

Taylormade Sldr Driver: Editor Review

Cons: The SLDR is lower than other TaylorMade drivers and has a more forward center of gravity. This allows for golfers to hit the ball with more spin and launch it higher, which can be a key factor in longer drivers. Also, the ball can travel slightly faster and has more forgiveness for shots made low. Instead of white, the SLDR has a handsome gray metallic crown that reminds us of TaylorMade’s popular 300 Series drivers from the past. A 20-gram slide weight makes it faster to set than TaylorMade’s moving weights and permits for more fine tuning.

Cons: The SLDR isn’t equipped with a “face adjuster” as TaylorMade previously drivers. This can make it more difficult for golfers to set the desired angle at addresses. Good and bad, it’s not the “one-size-fits all” driver. 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. Aesthetically, those who liked TaylorMade’s matte white crowns or the cool factor of the R1’s racing stripe will be stuck with a more traditional, glossy gray crown.

Bottom Line: TaylorMade upgraded its premium driver lineup by adding additional drivers over the years. TaylorMade’s driver technologies are now simplified with the SLDR. It is a more user-friendly, powerful sliding mechanism which gives drivers a very low forward CG.

It is a combination of power, simplicity, good looks, which TaylorMade claims makes it “the greatest driver TaylorMade’s ever made,” and that we believe to be true.

The SLDR driver is a rare and special one that appears every few years. It has the potential to be a winner for countless golfers. TaylorMade’s SLDR drivers are undoubtedly among the finest. They have a greater ball speed, lower spin and can be adjusted easily.

Golfwrx Spotlight on Tour Edge Exotics Driver C721

Tour Edge’s Exotics golf club line has been highly regarded for their excellent hybrid and fairway wood performances over the years. Chicago-based Tour Edge has consistently made high-quality golf clubs. The new line of C721 drivers, fairway woods, and hybrids take yet another big leap forward from last year’s EXS line.

C721 is a new driver that takes much of the technology in 2020 EXS lines and further refines or expands them. 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.

First thing I noticed about the C721 when it arrived was its new shape and improved appearance over previous Tour Edge drivers. What I find most striking is the increased bulge. This gives the top a more smooth and round look.

The overall shape of the C721 is slightly stretched from front to back, giving it just a hint of a triangular look. Ridgeback, a titanium spine with two carbon-fiber wings. These wings add stability and forgiveness for the head but can also be used together.

Getting the C721 out on the course is where you really start to appreciate all the technology that went into this driver. Shots that are well struck can last a long time and don’t require much effort. A long and low spin shot is awarded to center contact. This is simply a blast!

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. Your ears will be grateful for the choice of drivers if you practice at an enclosed range. Hits from the middle of the face preserve a lot more ball speed, and they stay on the line really well.

My miss is on the heels. The misses were able to stay in the air quite well, and even went some distance. Ridgeback spine, rear weight, and high-quality shots still allow for good online connectivity. Shots that hit the heel or the toe can stay up 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. Although the face is a bit deeper than it should be, I was able to experiment with the height of my tee to achieve the ideal setup. Players who are more skilled will love the driver’s neutral weighting.

Review: Ping’S G400 And G400 Lst Drivers

I still remember the first time I hit Ping’s G30 driver. The date was July 2014 and I was visiting Ping’s headquarters in Phoenix. These super-low-spin players were the new fad at that time. Their forward center of gravity helped golfers achieve launch conditions that were beyond their wildest expectations. Many in the business, including myself, had one of these drivers and spent many launch monitor sessions trying to figure out how to get more distance from these high knuckleballs. Bad news: Forward-CG drivers are by design very difficult to control. Bad shots were short and uncoordinated.

Marty Jertson (Ping’s Director Product Development) explained to me, inside a conference at Ping Headquarters, his vision for the perfect driver before I realized the G30 was big. He didn’t believe that the ideal driver had the forward-facing center of gravity (CG), which was what was being promoted at the time. According to him, the CG should be as low as possible and at the driver’s rear. This would allow for the best combination of optimal launch conditions, good forgiveness, and great launch conditions.

While it took a while to find the right driver (and is still a lot of work), Jertson was happy that Ping was finally able to bring the G30 to life. When it was released , the driver was a powerful testament to his vision. Because of its rear-CG design, it provided great distance for both good and bad shots. Additionally, the driver was extremely straight. The G30 sold incredibly well and, as a result, the industry mostly shifted away from forward-CG drivers.

Ping recently released yet another contraintuitive driver. In an era where full-size drivers are common, the company reduced the size of its G400 drivers. While it may only be 15 cubic centimeters less, the difference is noticeable at home. They look like the G400s are cutting carbs, compared to the Ping G driver they replaced (which replaced G30).

Even though their frames are smaller, the G400 drivers were actually more accommodating than the G Drivers (which were even more friendly than the G30). Ping representative say that the G400 drivers are smaller than their G30 counterparts. Ping drivers’ rearward CG is the lowest of all Ping players. Golfers will be able to play them fractionally more quickly because they are smaller. A new face material, made from T9S+ Titanium, is another big improvement. It is lighter and flexible, helping golfers to generate greater ball speed.

The G400 LST was my choice, but I also wanted to see how they compare to the G LST drivers. To do this, I drove them to Launch Pad Carl’s Golfland near Bloomfield Hills. Trackman IV provided five shots for each driver. In order to make the comparison fair and accurate, I used the same shaft on each driver head. The loft of each driver’s head was the same or nearly so.

Notice: I only tested the G, G LST and G400 drivers. They had 10.5 degrees heads that were adjusted to 9.0 degrees. G400 LST had 10 degree loft, which was later adjusted to 9.4 degree.

Is it possible to see the reviews?

You might be surprised (or not), but the SLDR driver gets excellent ratings.

Even though the driver may be many years old it is still very relevant. It delivers an excellent, modern performance.

How Does It Feel?

The Taylor was a subject that I debated extensively. I made SLDR driver feel at ease in “First Impressions”. It’s not necessarily about the “impact”, but rather its “presence”. What is this? The SLDR was very heavy. I remember thinking that when I got it, it would be a big deal. A hammer is a good example of this. The balance will be affected by how you adjust the sliding weight. It’s crucial to set the weighting correctly. A few players add an additional weight to the track for greater precision.

The SLDR is extremely responsive to impact and has all of the normal wonders. In terms of energy transfer, a ball placed in the centre of the face is like a steel wall winning the fight of resistance.

Is it possible to order this driver online?

Amazon is not a good place to buy at this point. This could be partly due to the lack of availability or because there are better deals elsewhere. Amazon is not as great a place for buying golf clubs.

Although the SLDR model may be quite outdated, it is still available in a few 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.

The second is Global Golf , which offers many attractive policies and deals (check out the current coupon codes) that make the buying process relatively painless. You should be aware that stocks may quickly run out.
