Posted September 3, 20159 yr comment_246651 Taylormade Japan has always been ahead of the U.S when it came to materials and pushing the envelope it's been this way since the R300Ti driver back in the day. The Gloire series is very good I still own the Gloire F and it's all around a great performer. The new G coming in November is the lightest driver in TM history and while it's draw bias thru weighting the face structure is also draw bias which is interesting as I've never seen a draw bias face before. There are 3 drivers in the Gloire Series, the F, the G, and the Royal Limited. two of them use Alpha Beta Forged faces which is a big +. TM Japan claims this is the deepest and largest speed pocket TM has ever produced.

September 4, 20159 yr comment_246755 Oooo... I do like the Royal.. It is only offered in one loft 13 degrees, and 2 shaft options, the green (more a Japanese spec OEM soft R), AND the silver, more a stiff/regular and a bit heavier. Ive hit it (silver). It launches to the moon with average distance. Its feels better than the previous 2 plastic face versions, weight wise and balance wise, but the 13 degree loft limits the market. A 10.5 or 11 degree in this head would have been killer. I prefer the GLOIRE F. Edited September 4, 20159 yr by driverhead
September 4, 20159 yr comment_246760 13? That's a 3wd! 13 degrees on a forward weighted club like the R15 or SLDR is good, but this ROYAL head looks like a 7w loft at address with a super deep face. Edited September 4, 20159 yr by driverhead
