TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 Drivers, Fairways and Hybrids
Like the R1, the Rocketballz Stage 2 drivers have a striking paint job — a grey-and-yellow triangle design on the crown that points down the target line.
But they’re not as adjustable as the R1, and will retail for $50 to $100 less. The standard version of the RBZ Stage 2 driver has a center of gravity that is lower and more forward, situated between last year’s RBZ and RBZ Tour drivers. It also has a 460cc head that has a larger face area and improved aerodynamics for faster clubhead speeds.
The RBZ Stage 2 Tour driver uses the same head shape as the non-Tour model, but changes in TaylorMade’s tooling allowed engineers to — you guessed it — move the CG lower and more forward. This lowers spin, giving higher-speed players the flatter trajectory they need to maximize carry and roll.

Both drivers feature an adjustable hosel that allows golfers to adjust the loft 1.5 degrees up or down in 0.5 degree increments. The drivers have slightly different crown graphics, however.

The standard version has a light grey graphic on the rear heel, whereas the Tour version has a dark grey graphic with the words “TOUR” stenciled in.
The standard RBZ Stage 2 driver is available in 9.5, 10.5 and 13 degrees, while the Tour head is available in 9 or 10.5 degrees.

The RBZ Stage 2 driver comes stock a with a Fujikura RocketFuel 50 graphite shaft in X, S, R and M flexes in a standard length of 46 inches and a swing weight of D6 for $299. The Tour driver is available with Matrix’s 6Q3 or 7Q3 “Red Tie” shaft and will retail for $349. Its standard length is 45.5 inches with a D4 swing weight.
RBZ Stage 2 Fairway Woods and Hybrids
TaylorMade’s original line of RocketBallz fairway woods made golfers snicker for two reasons:
- Their name
- The distance golfers were able to hit them compared to their old fairway woods
Above Image: TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 Fairway Wood Sole
The distance gains were the product of improved ball speed, which was a combination of a lower, more forward CG and TaylorMade’s speed pocket, a slot in the sole that increased face flexibility and forgiveness on mishits.

While the RocketBallz fairway woods were revolutionary, they weren’t perfect — many golfers complained that the heads were too deep, resulting in shots that spun too little. And while RocketBallz were great off the tee, their larger footprint made them tough to use off the fairway and out of light rough.
[youtube id=”dHfER2gf9UA” width=”600″ height=”350″]
TaylorMade says that this year’s RBZ Stage 2 fairway woods are 10 yards longer than last year’s behemoths, which calculates to a whopping 27-yard increase from the pre-RBZ days. They’re longer than last year’s models because of an even lower, more forward CG that’s paired with a new face material that TaylorMade calls “RocketSteel.” The new material is used on tour and standard models of the RBZ Stage 2 fairway woods and hybrids, and is 38 percent stronger than the 455 Carpenter steel used in the original models. It allows the faces of the fairway woods to be made as thin as 1.8 mm in certain areas, a 0.25 mm improvement.

Maybe more important than the added distance is the revamped shape of the RBZ Stage 2 fairway woods, which have a shallower profile that allowed much more versatility in our testing. The lower-spinning Tour model fairway woods and hybrids also come with a hosel that adjusts loft as much to 1.5 degrees up or down in 0.5 degree increments, which will make fitting easier and help golfer’s tune their clubs to different course conditions.

In a golf world where players are looking to eke out every yard possible, usually by lengthening their drivers to add clubhead speed, there’s one player at the PGA Championship who’s going in the opposite direction. In fact, for Rickie Fowler, his goal off the tee is not about gaining extra distance or yards north to south, but rather about shrinking the misses from east to west.
Ahead of the PGA Championship and the week prior at the Truist Championship. Fowler mentioned to Cobra Tour Rep Ben Schomin that the driver didn’t quite swing feel the same as everything in the bag. As a result, and with Schomin’s suggestion to try and sync everything up with the big stick, Fowler decided to test out a shorter length shaft.
“He’s been at 45 (inches), and he’d been at 45 for a few weeks, 44 1/8 (inches) is really is where he is been living really for the most part, for the last couple of years, and is where he is been comfortable,” Schomin told GolfWRX. “It just felt like it was a little long and loose on him.”
Interestingly, Fowler ranks 40th in Driving Accuracy this year on the PGA Tour. It’s his most accurate season with the driver since the start of the decade. But sometimes for players, feel is more important than statistics.
“It was really more of a trying to get the swing to feel the fluidness from club to club to club to try to get it to feel the same,” Schomin added. “And so we took it down to 43 and a quarter, and it was a touch of a ball speed loss, just based on that overall club head speed. But honestly, he squared it up probably a little better. The right miss wasn’t nearly as far. So really, overall down-range dispersion tightened up a fair amount, and he felt confident in swinging it.”
The change in length had Fowler’s caddie, Ricky Romano, beaming at how well he had driven during Tuesday’s practice round at Aronimink. So much so, he was asking Schomin not to suggest changes anymore.
Fowler’s shaft-shortening is one of a few driver adjustments he’s made this season, and to Schomin’s credit, it’s thanks to the fact that he and the rest of the Cobra team had Fowler fit very well into three of the four heads in the Cobra OPTM lineup.
“He had three distinct drivers and the biggest decision was trying to decide which worked best at that time,” Schomin told GolfWRX previously. “He’s played the majority of the season with OPTM X, but has also played a couple of tournaments with OPTM LS. His overall driving stats have been good.”
At the RBC Heritage earlier this spring, Fowler switched drivers, changing from his Cobra OPTM X and into the Tour, low-loft Max K model that Gary Woodland used to win just a few weeks prior.
Now for the PGA Championship, Fowler’s back in the X head, but still using the UST Mamiya LIN-Q PowerCore White 6TX shaft, just a little bit shorter.
“Will he stay there? I’m not sure,” Schomin added. “Could we end up say at like 43 and 7.5 (of an inch). If it’s giving him the same feel of consistency through the bag, then I think we might end up just a touch longer. But if he likes where he is at, he’s confident where he is at, that’s really all that matters.”
If there’s more testing, though, just don’t tell his caddie.
What you need to know: As is customary for the Fairhaven-based company, Titleist officially announced today that its GTS drivers are headed to retail, following a successful tour release. The GTS2, GTS3, and GTS4 drivers will be available in golf shops June 11.
Since debuting at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, the new GTS lineup has quickly gained traction on the PGA Tour, with more than 50 players already making the switch to a GTS2, GTS3, or GTS4 driver. Among them are Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth.
Justin Thomas’ Titleist GTS2 driver (Greg Moore, GolfWRX)
According to Titleist, the GTS series builds upon the performance foundation established by the GT Series, while introducing several major technological advancements, including a new Split Mass Frame construction, refined aerodynamics, and an updated Speed Sync face design.
2026 Titleist GTS drivers: What’s new, key technology
Split Mass Frame and thermoform body
At the center of the new GTS lineup is a redesigned internal structure: the Split Mass Frame. This technology works with a full-thermoform body made from Titleist’s Proprietary Matrix Polymer (PMP), a lightweight composite that enables engineers to reposition mass more efficiently throughout the head. Compared to the previous GT generation, GTS drivers feature nearly double the PMP material, increasing from 13 grams to 26 grams, while maintaining the sound and feel preferred by better players.
The weight savings from the thermoform construction allowed Titleist engineers to strategically separate mass placement inside the head. Specifically, more weight is pushed rearward to improve stability and forgiveness, while additional mass is positioned low and forward to optimize speed, launch, and spin.
In short, golfers are able to maintain ball speed and consistency across both centered and off-center strikes.
Faster aerodynamics
Titleist also refined the aerodynamic shaping of the GTS heads to help players generate more clubhead speed.
The tails of the new GTS2 and GTS3 heads have been raised compared to previous models, helping airflow stay attached to the crown and sole longer during the swing. According to Titleist, the improved airflow reduces drag and increases speed without affecting launch conditions or center of gravity placement.
Typically, aerodynamic gains can compromise forgiveness or launch characteristics, but the weight savings from the Split Mass Frame allowed engineers to preserve preferred CG locations.
New Speed Sync face
The new Speed Sync Face design is engineered to improve ball speed retention across a larger portion of the face. A reinforced perimeter structure helps maximize face deflection and COR on centered strikes, while the upper portion of the support ring is opened up to increase speed on high-face impacts, a common strike location for many golfers. The face also features a variable thickness design to preserve speed and performance across a wider impact area.
Expanded adjustability
Each GTS model includes a dual-weighting system to fine-tune launch, spin, and shot shape more precisely than previous generations. GTS2 uses interchangeable forward and aft weights, while GTS3 and GTS4 combine a rear weight with an adjustable forward track weight system.
Tour-inspired face graphics
The new lineup features redesigned high-contrast face graphics to improve alignment and framing at address, according to Titleist. Sharp visual lines are designed to make it easier to center the golf ball and to perceive loft more easily at setup.
Additional model details
GTS2
- The GTS2 is the most forgiving model, designed for golfers seeking maximum stability and consistent speed across the face.
- It produces high launch with mid spin and features a larger, confidence-inspiring profile behind the ball.
- Standard weighting includes an 11-gram forward weight and a 5-gram rear weight, with additional fitting configurations available.
GTS3
- The GTS3 is aimed at players who want more control over launch, spin, and shot shaping.
- Compared to GTS2, the GTS3 offers lower launch and spin while featuring a more compact profile and deeper face design preferred by many stronger players.
- The head features an adjustable forward-track weight system to further fine-tune center of gravity placement.
GTS4
- The lowest-spinning option in the lineup, GTS4 is built for golfers looking to reduce excessive spin and maximize total distance.
- Unlike previous “4” models from Titleist, the new GTS4 features a full 460cc profile that improves forgiveness and stability while retaining its low-spin DNA.
- Like GTS3, it includes a forward track weighting system for precise fitting adjustments.
What Titleist says
“When we talk about driver design, it’s never about the one feature or benefit — it’s about all of them,” said Stephanie Luttrell, Titleist’s Senior Director of Metalwood R&D. “Ball speed, forgiveness, spin stability, adjustability, exceptional sound and feel… these are all attributes that golfers care about. It’s our job to design a lineup that elevates performance across the board without sacrificing in key areas, and we feel we’ve done that with GTS.”
“We know that forward CGs drive speed with great launch and spin characteristics, but you need to be able to do that with an inertial stability that still preserves ball speed, launch and spin consistency on off-center hits,” Luttrell said. “We’ve never before been able to hit these CG positions and inertia properties at the same time, and we’re achieving that because of GTS’ construction.”
Club Junkie’s take
I feel like every time there is a new Titleist wood release, I figure they can’t outdo their previous driver. And every year, I am wrong and impressed with the performance. The GTS fits right into that narrative again, as I didn’t know where Titleist could go from GT, but they pushed the limits again, and my fitting proved the smart people there found ways to improve.
My past four Titleist drivers have been a 2 series as my swing typically requires a little height, spin, and forgiveness so I figured I would just get a new GTS2 and be on my way. During the fitting, I was impressed by the new GTS construction, its added PMP material, and the advanced adjustability on each model. My fitter, Joey, got to work putting together a GTS2 and we started there. The launch and spin were great, and the consistency on misses was very tight. My average ball speed with the GTS went up a little bit as the new Speed Sync face creates more speed away from the center.
Joey then built up a GTS3 in 11 degrees, but I figured this wouldn’t have the stability I needed for tight dispersion on my miss hits. That thought was quickly erased after a few shots, and I really liked the more center start line and reduced draw on the misses I was seeing. We tried a few different settings and shafts to dial in the details in order to get the best fit. Having a forward and rear weight in the head allowed Joey to set up the GTS3 with a heavier rear weight to keep the launch and spin up, while the Sure Fit hosel set flat created a more center start line for me. My misses were not nearly as far left, and I was really impressed with the consistency on the spin and launch when I didn’t hit it in the center.
Titleist again created a wood line in GTS that delivers improvements over previous drivers while keeping the traditional look and feel you expect. More adjustability, better off-center speed, and 3 drivers that are playable over a wider range of players should make these extremely successful in fittings.

Titleist has today introduced its new GTS2 and GTS3 fairways.
Lower and deeper center of gravity (CG) positions, new adjustable heel-toe weights and advanced clubface innovations drive total performance in the two tour-proven models.
- Tour-inspired polished clubfaces: To help players see more of the clubface at address.
GTS2 Fairway
The new GTS2 fairway is designed with a shallower face and a larger profile than GTS3, ideal for players with more sweeping deliveries with their fairway metals.
GTS2’s new face height, inspired by tour feedback, was designed shallower than the prior generation GT2 model and more in line with the GT1 fairway. Each loft in GTS2 leverages a shallower profile except for the 13.5-degree, which maintains a slightly taller face.
With its new dual-weighting system, the ‘2’ model now has heel-toe CG adjustability.
Lofts: 13.5, 15.0, 16.5, 18.0, 21.0
Dual-weight system: 11-gram weight in heel, 5-gram weight in toe (standard)
GTS3 Fairway
The new GTS3 fairway is designed with a deeper face and a more compact profile, ideal for players who hit down on the golf ball more with their fairway metals.
New to the GTS3 family is a 21-degree offering, giving players two distinct profiles in Titleist’s 7-wood loft.

to all the taylormade bashers here…bottom line is that buying new clubs will not fix the problems with your game….however buying properly fitted clubs for your size is extremely important….i have never been a fan of taylormade, because i thought they only catered to the average skilled golfer…use to play nothing but titleist… went to a demo day and tried out the rocketbladez tour irons with the KBS c-taper stiff shaft….absolutely loved them…i was hitting the 7iron about 185-190 and wasnt even really forcing my swing…i then demoed the stage 2 tour 2hybrid…i have a tendancy to draw/hook the ball so they opened it up for me which actually took the loft from a 16.5° to a 15°…literally had jaw dropping results…i started blasting the ball 260-270 all carry off the ground..no tee..the fact that these clubs can produce that distance and still feel solid and give good feedback…i am definitely convinced and i cannot wait for them to get delivered next week…ROCKETBALLZ-IER!!!

It is so easy to get a fair test. There are a lot of demo days and a lot of golf centers that have the tracking equipment that will tell you in black and white if the new clubs are better or not. Reading someone’s opinion does not make the club right or wrong for you !
Just my guess …….

The graphics are not that big a deal to me, unless they were really loud or something. I don’t even know they are there when I swing the club but the graphics might help with the alignment somewhat. The Stage 2 fairway woods have a great feel and sound to them and seem relatively easy to hit, and definitely seem to be an improvement over my three year old Cleveland fairway woods. I am debating on the RBZ Stage 2 driver vs. the R1. I currently have the R11 and either the RBZ Stage 2 or the R1 has a somewhat better feel and sound to me. The R1 has a slightly better feel and sound than the RZ Stage 2 and I probably wouldn’t get $100.00 worth of more performance with the R1 over the RBZ Stage 2, still a tough choice.

I’ve got an R9 Supertri and an R11. The R11 is about 2 yrds longer on average than my R9 and the R1 was about 2 yrds longer than that. Not much point in spending the money on the R1 for a few yards. The RBZ was a different story. The RBZ stage 2 driver is about 10-12 yrds on average longer than my R11 so I bought it. Effortless too. Felt like the easier I swung it, the further it went. The driver was so good I tested the 3 wood and it was on average 15yrds longer than my R11 3wd. Can’t argue with that! Can’t wait to test the Rocketbladez tour irons to see how they go against my Ping S57’s! Rocketballz-ier, bring it on!

Yesterday, I had my pro suggest forgiving drivers. He suggested four drivers including the Rocketballz Stage 2 driver. I hit the Stage 2 consistently straighter with a better trajectory than the Callaway X Hot, Mizuno JPX 825 and the Ping G20. The Stage 2 feels heavier, like I am swinging a wedge, not a driver. I won’t say it’s the best driver; just saying to try it before buying anything else. As strange as the crown graphics are, they helped my alignment. To the critics; you may overlook the crown graphics once you hit the club!

Jan 23, 2013 at 5:08 pm
That whole 17 yards claim was ridiculous. I demoed the original rbz 3 wood and the r11s, and I consistently hit them the same distance. Also, in regard to Richard’s question, it has to do with how much adjustability you actually need. I was “fit” for my rbz tour driver and also considered the r11s. The fitter who was working on me said that there was no “need” for me to have the extra bells and wistles of the r11s vs the rbz because I delivered the club to the ball consistently already. Just try them. If you like the rbz, there is no reason to spend an extra $100 to have what looks like a compas on the bottom of your driver

Just remember…. TM stands behind their seemingly absurd claims…. last season, they were giving away a box of ProV’s if you did NOT increase by 17 yards from prior. Like it or not, they have the seeds to stand behind what they say…..

I have an original RBZ TP 3 wood and I am almost as long as I am with my 910d3 both are stiff shafted 910 is de lofted down to 9 deg and set up with a slight draw. Whether or not I would be able to hit the phase 2 as long as my driver remains to be seen. I would be interested to see on flightscope where it fitted in. Could I really get away without carrying a drive ? Doubt it !

Feb 28, 2013 at 6:10 pm
Am using same driver and 3 wood as you. Hit the 3 wood almost as far as the driver and easily keep up with my buddies for distance with their drivers – and usually longer. Hit the 3 wood with a lot more control, hit more fairways and can play a draw with ease.
Now here’s the thing! Just had an RBZ Stage 2 fitting. Identical spec to my last year’s model. Completely satisfied with last years club – just curious to see if Stage 2 really an improvement.
Result: Cold day in West of Scotland / Range Balls. Hit about 8 balls with each.
Last year’s club best: Clubhead Speed 80, Smash Factor 1.42, Spin 3682, Launch 13.3 degrees, Carry 189 yards.
Stage 2 club best: Clubhead Speed 85, Smash Factor 1.46, Spin 2600, Launch 13.3 degrees, Carry 213 yards.
I play a links course where you can get a good deal of roll on a dry summer day. In theory with the Stage 2 figures above – I could be pushing 240 yards!
Also tried the Stage 2 Tour cranked down to 14 degrees – felt slightly heavier – had difficulty getting the ball up in the air – so not a good match for me.
I really thought with last year’s RBZ that I had found a “perfect for me” club that would stay in the bag a long time.
Now seriously thinking of a Stage 2 to replace the 910D3 and keeping the original club in the bag as well.
Taylor Made said that in the hands of elite players the original RBZ appeared to give an average 17 yards improvement and say that those players could average a further 10 yards with the Stage 2 – All I can say is that in my hands with my swing the RBZ & RBZ Sage 2 are the second best and best 3 woods respectively that I have found in 40 years of playing golf – I’m one of the lucky ones.
Suggest you go for a RBZ Stage 2 fitting ASAP and be prepared to be amazed.

I would say that if a club increases your clubhead speed, it’s probably just a longer shaft.

I bought the RB Tour 3 wood and 2 hybrids middle/end of last season. I like the clubs but found the 3 wood was not all that easy to hit off the fairway’s compared to my old Callaway 3 wood. I’m curious to see if these new “Stage 2’s” are any easier. I will say that when you connect the ball does seems to go alot more. I dunno….

I demo’d the standard version of the stage 2 15 degree fairway today. I previously owned a RBZ tour 14.5 fairway, but got rid of it because I tended to hook it, and because I hit it thin more often than I wanted.
To me (driver SS 97, hdcp 2) the issues are the same as last years model, too many balls left on the ground, and fighting a hook. The ones I elevated and hit solidly were the longest 3 woods I have hit in 20 years. My normal 3 wood is a 240 yarder, but I hit a couple of these in the 260 range.
I wouldn’t but the club I demo’d though. Too hard to hit off the fairway. I might take a look if they have a 3HL, which is a 4 wood loft in a 3 wood shaft.

The only way you are getting 27 additional yards in relation to any other Fwy in the market is if playing a RBZ also allows you to tee off from the ladies tees…

I play the Titleist 909 15 degree 3wd and hit the RBZ 3wd 15 degree in a demo. Right off I hit the RBZ 15 yards farther and dead straight. What is not to like about that? And I keep my eye on the ball not the club so I don’t care about the graphics.
