About this product
The Taylormade RBZ 5-wood features an 18° loft and stiff flex graphite shaft, suited for right-handed golfers with faster swing speeds. Part of the RocketBallz series, it's a fairway wood designed for distance and forgiveness. The 18° loft makes it ideal for long par-5 approaches or tight fairways, and the stiff flex provides control.
Our take
I gave this RBZ 5-wood a try because I prefer a stiff shaft for better control. The 18° loft is spot on for my yardage gap. Off the tee, it launches low-ish and runs out nicely, but from the fairway it's a bit tricky to get airborne due to the stiff flex. The club feels solid, though the face can feel harsh on off-center hits. For the price, it's a decent upgrade if you need a 5-wood and swing stiff. But if you need more launch, look elsewhere.
