TaylorMade Superfast 2.0 TP Driver

The TaylorMade Superfast 2.0 TP Driver is a really nice driver geared toward lower handicapped golfers. It is designed to give players a low and penetrating ball flight that has minimal spin. The shape and setup of the driver is a bit more traditional than the R11 driver, which have made this driver fairly popular amongst better players.

The crown of the driver is painted white just like the R11 driver, which goes along with TaylorMade’s desire to separate itself from the competition with its latest line of equipment. This driver does not feature the customization options that the R11 does, which holds it back a bit from being exceptional. There is no way to change shafts easily, alter lofts, change face angles or move weights like the R11. I believe this is one of the main reasons why better players choose the R11 over the Superfast 2.0 TP.

One very positive aspect of this driver is that it tends so spin less than its competitors. This is great if you hit the ball 200+ yards and you are trying to maximize distance by combining the correct launch angle and optimum spin. The driver also comes stock with a very good Matrix shaft that if fairly light at 65 grams. It also comes slightly shorter than the non-TP version, which I like because it will give the player a bit more control over their golf ball. The club also sets up slightly open and features a weight toward the toe of the club, which helps dramatically in hitting the golf ball as straight as possible. These two characteristics discourage a player from flipping the club at impact into a closed position and hooking the ball off line. The forgiveness of the club is fairly good, but keep in mind that it is geared toward better players so there is an expectation that fewer shots will be hit off of the toe and heel.

This driver is quite good and I think it can be a great addition to anyone’s bag, especially better players who are looking for a more traditional look and lower spin from a TaylorMade driver.
