By bringing the Front Track system and sliding weight (25g) to the fairway wood for the first time, R15 provides more flexibility and shot shape adjustability. The Front Track performs like a Speed Pocket, reducing spin and increasing the size of the sweet spot, and the sliding weight and 4° loft sleeve let you easily dial in your launch conditions.
Only their greatest breakthroughs are worthy of being called an R. 15 years of our groundbreaking metalwoods technologies from the #1 driver in golf have been fused with brand new innovations into a single, game-changing design. They put everything we have into the R15, so you can find out what you have—in you.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
PLAYABILITY: These woods produce a consistent, medium flight that can be altered when necessary; if you’ve got the skills, there’s no shot the R15 can’t produce off the tee; the higher lofts are pretty good escape artists from rough.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: The R15 chops it out of most lies with fairly predictable results; good strikes yield a straight, razor-sharp ball flight; offers dependable forgiveness.
DISTANCE: Gives testers ample length on well-struck shots; just about all you need off the tee; you can swing away with impunity once you get it set up for your move.
FEEL: The head weight is evident from takeaway to impact; stable through contact without overly harsh feedback on misses; rock solid at impact, like you’d expect from TaylorMade woods.
LOOK: Testers like the shape of the R15 head—not too big and not too small; frames the ball well on the tee and off the turf; some panelists are glad to see that the white clubhead is back in style—and this one looks high-end.
