r5 Type D
The r5 Type D's clubhead and shaft are engineered to work together to alleviate a slice and/or promote a distance-enhancing draw. If you often lose drives to the right and want to hit the ball straighter, or even from right-to-left, try the Type D.
r5 Type N
Players seeking a large, forgiving, confidence-inducing driver that's engineered to be easy to hit, and which promotes a neutral and long ball flight, will the love the r5 dual Type N.

Why buy a $600+ club to do this when you can spend half as much on lessons to straighten your ball flight out :wink: (says she that's a ho)

Just ignore them mate. Amanda is a ho (club ho that is) of the highest order :wink:

Mcmw is probably just jealous that he didn't post it here first. He's always showing us something new :wink: :wink:

Sounds like the r7 for those who don't know how to use a wrench. Will be interesting to see how it does considering all the hype of the r7. The r5 seems to have kind of snuck up on everyone without the big fanfare.

Real Golfers use lead tape. You would never see one of the top pros using one of these game assistance clubs.

Thanks for posting Dave, there has been a bit of talk about this driver on the other forums but I really cannot see TM selling many...they have now had 14 different drivers in the past 3-4 years :shock:

Forgive my ignorance and non-HOey ways, but shouldn't a series count as a release and not the individual drivers?

All I was trying to do is post a list of the individual models that have been released...some companies release only 1 model of driver every few years :)
