How much weight does a R15 driver have?
Tinkerers rejoice. The R15 driver has a pair of 12.5-gram sliding weights in the sole, providing five grams more movable mass than the single 20-gram weight in the current SLDR. Splitting weights between the heel and toe increases the club’s forgiveness; moving both weights in the same direction adds shot-shape bias; and placing them both in the middle produces the fastest ball speed. A new adjustable hosel lets players increase or decrease loft by as much as 2°. [The loft sleeve previously offered +/-1.5°.]
Is it easy to curve your golf balls?
A few testers mention that they actually hit shots too straight—for them, it’s not too easy to curve their balls; one or two guys say it’s not a significant enough improvement over the SLDR.
