RBZ 2 or Xhot

[Clevo89]

Hi everyone, looking to upgrade my driver and these 2 clubs are around the same price range. Currently hitting an RBZ.

Any opinions on which is the better club. Was also looking at R1's but golfbox dont seem to stock them anymore

Cheers

Do yourself a favour & try the Jetspeed, I've had a stage 2 tour & a couple of x hots & they don't come close

[Clevo89]

Thanks, what about the razr fit xtreme?

Lots of love for the Xtreme if you can cope with the smaller head size. I'm a hack and couldn't come to grips with the Xtreme, but the X Hot was instant love.

Didn't like the RFE or the Xhot.
Still find best results with RF.

Will be giving the BBA a bash soon though.

Plenty of love for the Xtreme when it first got released as I liked the smaller head size & the way it looked but I couldn't get consistent results out of them (I had a 8.5*, 9.5* & 10.5*). I felt like I crunched it off the tee only to get to my ball up the fairway & be 40m shorter than were I normally was. The original Razr Fit is much better than the Xtreme & is still a great performing driver when paired with the right shaft compared to today's latest & greatest.

Plenty of R1 drivers on ebay.com, all you need is paypal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-2013-TAYLORMADE-R1-R-1-DRIVER-STIFF-FLEX-ALDILA-RIP-PHENOM-GRAPHITE-/400657681721?pt=Golf_Clubs&hash=item5d490f0d39

FWIW, I have had the RF, RFE, Xhot and X Hot Pro.

For my money, the X Hot Pro is it, and ive tested it up against the R1 with a similar shaft. For me, the XHpro is maybe slightly longer out of the screws, but it is by far longer more consistently.

If there is a forced carry, i'm not as concerned with going for it with the Xhot as I had been in the past with various other drivers (r11, RP Superdeep, Razr Fit etc.)

Do you even play golf?

[Johnny Canuck]

All drivers are going to fly a similar distance out of the screws. It comes down to getting the right head/shaft combo for you.

A forced carry with a driver, and you go for it?

What would the alternative be? Hitting wedge?

Not damaging the church.

Forced carry was the wrong word. But the 210/220m carry that puts you in trouble if you mishit it.

Occasionally. Played 2 weeks ago, 40 for the front 9 around Wembley Tuart. was quite surprised with that

40m?!?!?

[Steve57]

I also found the RFE to be shorter than the original RF.

[JADO75]

40m?!?!?

Didn't measure it to the cm but anywhere up to 40m mate, used to shit me to tears, tried 4 million different head/shaft combos & while there were some very long balls most were well short of where I'd be if I put a good swing on other well suited drivers.

Your jetspeed feel better than the 430cc SLDR Jado?

[Clevo89]

Ended up getting the rbz 2, felt good in the shop and when i took it on course this arvo hit the ball really long and most importantly straight, ended up with the stiff shaft which i think will work nicely for me

Thanks for the input everyone

You're welcome brotha ;)

Wouldn't say it feels better mate, the JDM 430 feels super soft, sounds sensational (to me) performs really well but for how much it costs it should feel better. That being said the Jetspeed feels better than the 460 SLDR & is so bloody easy to hit. I was crunching it with the stock shaft so I'm excited to see if or how much better it can be with a premo shaft. I think its been said before that the Jetspeed is seriously underrated & has kind of flown under the radar due to SLDR hype.

[JADO75]

You're welcome brotha ;)

Thank you Sir, although it breaks my heart to see such a beautiful looking club like the JDM 430 on the bench due to the Jetspeed.
