If I had to summarize the sound, I would say it’s a solid, forceful, metallic hit of a drum. Additionally, the SLDR isn’t exactly quiet on a big drive.
#Taylormade sldr vs. rbz stage 2 driver review driver#
Though the TaylorMade SLDR driver doesn’t have that old trampoline vibe, the sound is still more on the metallic side and a little hollow. A ball in the center of the face feels like a metal wall won the battle of resistance in terms of energy transfer at impact. In regards to the usual wonders of feel, the SLDR has an extremely solid feel at impact. Some players even add a second weight to the track which provides more precision in the adjustment. Adjusting the sliding weight will also affect that balance so it’s important to get the weighting dialed in. To make an exaggerated comparison, think of a hammer. Not necessarily from an “impact” perspective, but more because of its “presence.” What the hell am I talking about? When I first picked up the SLDR, I thought, “man, this thing has some weight!” That’s not to say the SLDR is outrageously heavy, but it’s very noticeable at the end of the shaft. I debated heavily whether or not I should mention the TaylorMade SLDR driver’s feel in the “First Impressions” section. Its shape is fairly traditional in the 430 configuration and just a larger footprint of the same in the 460. As you view the SLDR from the standard address position, the crown has a fairly simple metal flake almost gunmetal finish. This sole was tastefully executed from an aesthetic meets technology perspective, but there’s definitely a lot going on. My first impression of the TaylorMade SLDR driver was clearly the mechanical, almost robotic looking sole. The TaylorMade SLDR driver was available in both 430cc and 460cc head sizes. For others, it helped tune a draw or fade for a more optimal ball flight. For some, this helped combat a slice or hook. By sliding the weight toward the heel or toe you were able to make the club more or less biased in any direction. The TalyorMade SLDR driver was innovative when it came out because of its sliding weight to help players fine tune their ball flight.
