This improvement helps the pocket flex faster to promote a faster ball speed. The 3-wood has an improved speed pocket design which first appeared on the original RBZ. The 10.5 model can be adjusted up to 12° or down to 9° and the HL 13 can be adjusted up to 14.5° or down to 11.5°. The 9.5 option can be adjusted up to 11° or down to 8°. The Thick-Thin crown gives the RBZ Stage 2 driver a more-forward CG location, which promotes a high launch and low spinning ball. The driver uses a similar Inverted Cone Technology to the R1, which is milled into the inner side of the clubface and expands the portion of the face and produces a high ball-speed at impact. This club oozes power and inspires confidence. Great ball flight, plenty of forgiveness, and it just sits behind the ball perfectly. But I think the star of the show has to be the 3-wood.Īs I said about the first RBZ 3-wood, if you’re someone who leaves the driver out of the bag and are looking for a great 3-wood this is your club. I was impressed by the easy adjustability of both the driver and hybrid and tried it on the lower and higher settings, both working to great effect. If you’re looking for a new set of woods I wouldn’t look too far beyond the new RBZ Stage 2 set-up.

And I must admit I didn’t think you could improve on the RBZ 3-wood, but this baby is a hammer of a club and the way it sits behind the ball on the fairway at address is like a work of art. Straight off I have to say I enjoyed playing with these clubs and just loved the adjustability of the hybrid.
