My, have we come a long way! Looks like a review done in the 70's compared to today. I enjoy stepping back in time every now and then. "Rick Shields Golf Tips." Amazing 👌
I have not been a Taylormade Guy since the original R5 came out; I really thought tailor-made lost their edge to callaway. I recently tried the R1 and loved it. I typically average a 100mph club head speed and get 260 yards with my cleveland Hibore xls. While testing on a driving range simulator, I tried the R1 and I was able to easily gain 20 more yards at the same club head speed. The RBZ 3 wood kicks butt, but the R1 driver is a much better driver; it's a lower loft made it really go further.
7 Years ago this video! Wow! Didn’t recognize you there Rick with no beard 🧔Time flies! 😄 I still use the R1 and is still a favorite of mine on the course.
Thanks for another great review! If you are able to get your hands on them, I would love to see a review of the new Cobra Amp Cell vs. Amp Cell Pro drivers. Cheers, Jin.
So Funny, Change to Sims 2 Driver 3 years, Ago, but never did match the numbers i was getting with the R1 ... especially a 65% Fairway hits...!!! My R1 is back in the Bag, although i do lose 10 yards, the pleasure of the multi adjustements makes it funnn to try a ''New'' driver whenever you feel like it.. Recently moved up to 10,5 degres with the 12 gm weight in the heel, and hitting rocket draws, that roll for ever !!! And i just Love the Incredulous Look of my partners when i show up on the tees with my white stick...!!! It s worth the laughs !!!.. Got Fitted though this year with the QI10 Max, wich was incredible in Feeling, Distance and Dispersion ... But the black head and Pricetag turn me Off... Maybe later when the QI10 series 2 comes along will i let myself be tempted by a purchase !!! Good season to all..!!
I got this love it i went from 10 - 9.5 loft changed 2 degrees on compass and swapped the weights round great draw and frequently 280 and over 300 Q how does it compare to newer models especially the r15 ?
Out of your 10 shots with the R1 Driver on Flightscope there seemed to be significant differences on your Swing Speeds? What do you think of the R1 Driver in Black?
Hi Rick, Who would you say the R1 is geared towards? I know you said Mid-Low for Stage 2, would the R1 fit a larger range with the increased adjustability? Thanks!
Hey Rick, have just discovered your videos! Love them, really informative! I'm a 14 handicapper who tends to slice the ball off the tee. Of the R1, RBZ 2 and the Nike covert which do you think would better suit me? Any help would be great. Cheers Kris!
It's pronounced correctly in the UK and as a Canadian, I was taught to say it that way as well. When I talk to Americans, I have to remember to pronounce "zee" instead of "zed".

Just picked one up 2nd hand for $60. Great condition! I'm a beginner so I'm looking forward to learning on this.
One year later…opinions?
I just picked this up. It was barely used but it cost $210 CAD, so I probably got scammed...
@@lukahansongolf 210 sounds about right... if it's in good condition
@@lukahansongolf in GBP at the moment they're around 120 so that sounds about right I think?
You picked up a bargain!
Amazing watching this now compared to how you are on camera now! Pulling this out of the cupboard almost brand new 😅
I will certainly try to. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks Derek! Enjoy the R1!
I would have hit 7/10 fairways which isn't too bad. Thanks for watching
Rick come back and do another review of this club! Lol u look like a baby in this video
I just got this driver yesterday and I love it already😄😄😄😄
You have come a long ways rick !!
I just got one of these at a garage sale for $10. It still has the price tag on it from who knows how long ago!
Wow, I thought I got a good deal at $100 aud 😅

watching in 2024. 15 handicap using really old hand me down clubs. Found this driver for $45. cant wait to get it

Any tips on settings? Just ordered one today!
Just bought one based off this video! Cheers Rick!
Great video rick, got my r1 today, looking forward to getting it out on the course.
It's 2020 and I still use mine :D
Same 😂
There’s a guy on Facebook selling a pretty mint looking black model for $150... that’s steep for a 8 year old model...
@fatlittleparasite is that the one that’s “roger Clemens” old driver?
@@fatlittleparasite Just picked one up in great condition for $60
Me to
Almost 2025 and I was googling how to adjust some features on this driver and had to watch this old school RS video.
having hit the TP and regular shaft, the regular shaft went 10-20 yards further. The regular shaft is just as amazing as the TP
Got fitted for the R1 and find it great to hit. Regards the graphics they do not put me off and make the head seem smaller than it actually is
5/5 for accuracy is equalled to 100%
4 out of 10 is 40%

#19 need to revisit this one some day.👍

r15 is a bomber!!!!
Rick using different golf balls during a club testing, oh times have changed lol.
Nice video mate, I was just wondering if Mark Crossfield inspired you to make these videos? Or Vise versa?
Out of your 10 shots with the R1 Driver on Flightscope there seemed to be significant differences on your Swing Speeds? What do you think of the R1 Driver in Black?
Hi rick,im hoping u can review the new adams super ls 3 wood,liking your videos..
love to get a review from a slower speed player
can u review the RBZ and RBZ 3 wood i just got both of them and wondering how youdo with it
Hi Rick,
Who would you say the R1 is geared towards? I know you said Mid-Low for Stage 2, would the R1 fit a larger range with the increased adjustability?
Thanks!
Hi Rick my R1 driver doesn't have the lofts on it. I just want to make sure what the lofts are at the angles lower, standard loft and higher?
Hey rick i was wondering if you could compare the new RBZ to the old one?
How can you give 5/5 for accuracy. You would of hit 4 fairways out of 10!!!
Hey Rick, have just discovered your videos! Love them, really informative! I'm a 14 handicapper who tends to slice the ball off the tee. Of the R1, RBZ 2 and the Nike covert which do you think would better suit me? Any help would be great.

I do to
I wonder how this would perform against the qi10 😂
what cc is the r1
maguire500 460 cc
You're trying to swing too hard and it causes you to block it to the right. Slow down! :-)
It's not rb zed
It's pronounced correctly in the UK and as a Canadian, I was taught to say it that way as well. When I talk to Americans, I have to remember to pronounce "zee" instead of "zed".
7 out of 10 would be a 4.. ;)
I couldn’t hit this driver for shit! Or maybe I’m just suck at it..🍻🍻🍻🍻😎
