Key technology
A 260cc head (the maximum size for a driver being 460cc) is coupled to a 43.5-inch shaft, two inches shorter than the standard SLDR. TaylorMade research has revealed that a high percentage of players hit their fairway wood off the tee more often than from the fairway. A low and forward centre of gravity keeps spin down, while TaylorMade’s Speed Pocket improves forgiveness.

Verdict
This powerful mini driver will help those looking for accuracy and consistency from the tee, and anyone after a powerful option from the fairway. Its performance was awesome, giving a solid, consistent flight and manoeuvrability. It’s great from the tee on tight drives, and from the fairway to reach those long par 5s. The head design and graphics are very appealing.
