TaylorMade RocketBallz Fairway Wood

"The RocketBallz fairway woods and Rescues represent a game-changing breakthrough in performance comparable to few products in the history of our industry," said Sean Toulon, Executive Vice President of TaylorMade. "To hold a RocketBallz metalwood in your hands is to possess confidence, power, speed and distance potential that will regularly and quite literally redefine the long game for golfers."

RocketBallz technology with sole-positioned Speed Pocket boosts COR and ball speed dramatically, acting as the ultimate launching pad for distance. Get up to 17 additional yards.

The Science of White

The contrast between the white crown and black clubface makes it easy to align the R11S Driver accurately at address. The matte white finish eliminates hot spots and glare to promote improved focus. The white head looks larger to promote more confidence and a fast, free swing speed.

Construction of RocketBallz Technology
Major challenges had to be surmounted to develop RocketBallz technology, including the need to create a durable yet flexible sole/face structure with a deep sole pocket. Additionally, TaylorMade needed a deeper face design and low CG to maintain excellent playability off turf. Lastly, the products needed a front-low CG without sacrificing playability and control.

To achieve these qualities, the TaylorMade RocketBallz fairway woods were developed with a high-strength 455 steel face plate welded to a cast body. They incorporate improved sole geometry and a "Speed Pocket" to improve overall head and face flexibility and a.slightly deeper face with a further-forward CG location than traditional designs.

TaylorMade RocketBallz Fairway Woods Promote up to 17 Additional Yards. Really.
TaylorMade RocketBallz fairway woods combine RocketBallz technology with increased face size, low CG location, advanced playability features and a lightweight shaft and grip. The combination of these elements promotes a remarkable increase in distance – better players will gain up to 17 yards.*

TaylorMade RocketBallz fairway heads are shaped more traditionally (compared to Burner Superfast fairways) yet are still extremely forgiving. We lowered the CG and pulled it forward to promote a higher launch angle and lower spin-rate – launch conditions that promote greater distance.

Compared to previous TaylorMade fairway woods, RocketBallz fairways have a larger, deeper face and a large appearance at address. Combining an exceptionally deep face with an exceptionally low CG was a challenge we met thanks to our Ultra-Thin Wall casting process and our Thick-Thin Crown construction.

The incorporation of deeper face, low-and-forward CG and RocketBallz technology has allowed us to create the first steel fairway that reaches USGA/R&A speed limits. In addition, employing Pull-Face construction, and a high-strength 455 alloy steel face allowed us to combine high MOI with an exceptionally large face/hitting area, and more area for mis-hits above the center of the face.

The flat white crown on the RocketBallz Fairway Woods and black PVD face provides optimum contrast to make it easy to align the face accurately at address. The white crown color also eliminates the glare and "hot spots" that are a common issue with gloss-finish metalwoods.
