In this video PGA Golf Professional Rick Shiels puts the TaylorMade Golf RBZ Black driver test and compares the driver to the brand new TaylorMade Golf SIM Max driver.
You have probably heard of the TaylorMade Golf SIM driver, the Titleist Golf TS1 driver, the Titleist Golf Pro V1, the Cobra Golf SZ driver but have you ever heard of the TaylorMade RBZ black driver that is available for so much cheaper than some of the other big drivers on the market!
You won’t see any golfers on The European Tour or The PGA Tour using the TaylorMade RBZ Black driver. However in this video you will find out how good they actually are considering they are so much cheaper than other clubs on the market.

Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This KZfaq channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

Like a lot of other casual golfers on here, I ended up buying this club (on sale for $195 CAD!) to augment my 20+ year old set of garage sale clubs. My old driver's head was the size of a deck of cards almost. First time out with this on 9 holes I hit two stinkers, one half decent strike....and the best drive of my life at 270 yards straight as an arrow. I still need to work so much on my swing but by God this gives driver gives me so much more confidence.

Love this review Rick. You make excellent points. I can never understand spending $500 on a new driver if you’re just chasing those extra 5 or 10 yards. 90% of golfers 11 yards more on driver does not make a difference in your score, if you’re already driving the ball 240-250+. Accuracy is more important, for me anyway. I guess 10 or 11 yards makes a difference if you’re only hitting 220-230ish and you’re having trouble getting over water or something.

SIM Max the best thing i ever bought and never had a club made as much difference to my game. Can finally be aggressive on tee shots and not worry about that occasional slice since the custom fit closed the club face at address down 1.5 degrees. For me its flying 10 yards further, hitting 9/10 drives rather than the 6/10 i was at before. The confidence it has given me means im now enjoying golf so much more than i was hen i was just anxious about the dread OB on the right side.

@Badfinger4 4 жыл бұрын

To me, 11 yards of carry (and perhaps even more total yards) is a really significant amount, regardless of the type of player that you are. I'm actually skeptical that the yardage gain was THAT large. It seemed to me he had the SIM set at about a half a degree lower loft than the RBZ, which would seem to account for most of the difference between the two clubs. I'd be willing to bet that, specs being equal, there isn't much difference in these two drivers at all.

Love the videos Rick. Just had a few things I wanted to bring up. I work in golf retail and we sell the RBZ black and will soon launch the SIM drivers. As far as price goes, the RBZ is a year or so older so it’s gone down in price as you mentioned but it’s also priced based on what’s gone into the club. The sim has a lot more technology and time put into designing their best driver yet. The RBZ was designed to be their “economy” type driver. And as far as distance, I think with your swing speed the gap in total distance is a lot smaller than it would be for someone only swinging in the 80-90 clubhead speed range. Just some thoughts of mine, love to hear your take.

MadMan 845 massive R&D and advertising costs and $ for PROS to play the SIM !

@stephanjepards8148 4 жыл бұрын

Stephen DiBari honestly I do not believe that R&D is really that expensive for a golf club. I am convinced that the reason for the increase is simply because people are willing to pay this kind of money.

@madman8452 4 жыл бұрын

Stephen...if the Sim came out at $299 or $349...the volume of units sold would make up the difference in price. Why shouldn’t I wait and get last year’s model this year at half the price? Oh wait...that’s what I’m doing.

Wife bought me the RBZ black for Xmas, got to say I love it and the fact it’s so cheap compared to premium drivers is a bonus! Feels great to hit and looks great. No way I could justify an extra £270 for 1 club to gain 11yards! Just not going to happen I’m afraid. Great vid as always rick!

MadMan 845 I agree with you. The prices are ridiculously high for a new release product ! Look at a new vehicle as great analogy. On average After 3 years a new vehicle is only worth 58% of its original retail price ! 42% depreciation! New golf driver is worse. They lose 50% within 2 years and nearly 75% at 4 years ! The masses are stuck on getting a NEW driver every year ! I think the general rule of thumb is a five-year window for replacing a driver, Where you see the technological gains

Excellent video. I have only seen two of your vids so far, but already a solid favourite YT golfer. Quality work Rick, thanks.

Mid-capper testing these two clubs please! Interested in dispersion and distance!

Dispersion would still be the same with a worse golfer. And no one wants to watch a shitty golfer miss hit a bunch of balls.
