![]() ![]() ![]() I also tested the JetSpeed on a Flightscope against the SLDR driver and it confirmed that the former is a higher spinning driver than the latter. Indeed the feel and sound was probably the best of all the drivers they have launched this year. The SpeedPocket just made every shot that was low or to the sides feel like it came out of somewhere nearer the middle. Therefore I went out and teed the ball lower than normal to see what happend and I can say that they all sailed happily off into the sunset. So why is this news, as surely that could have done it by now? Well they could have, but as all driver faces are already at the legal speed limit ( COR) to do so would have put it over the top, so it required some re-engineering.Įffectively what they have done is to let the speed pocket increase performance on off centre and particularly low hits on the face without increasing the ball speed from the middle. It also moves the centre of gravity (CG) closer to the face and this combination increases ball speed and reduces spin for greater distance. TaylorMade's speed pocket is a groove cut into the sole of the club to allow the face to flex more. That is because the Speed Pocket that you know and love from the previous TaylorMade RocketBallz and RBZ Stage 2 fairway woods has now found its way into the JetSpeed driver. A fair question and one for which TaylorMade has the answer in its pocket. As we approach the end of 2013, you may be asking what is new with the 4th driver TaylorMade have announced this year following the TaylorMade Black R1 Driver, the TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 Driver and the
