TaylorMade RBZ Package Set | Golf Monthly

The TaylorMade RBZ name carries a certain weight in the golf world, bringing back memories of that white headed rocket launcher of a fairway wood for me at least! So, when I got the chance to try out the TaylorMade RBZ Package Set, I was keen to see if it could live up to that reputation, and how it performed as a full, out-of-the-box solution for those starting out or simply looking for a reliable, no-fuss setup. Could this be one of the best package sets in the game? Let’s find out…

Unboxing the RBZ set, the clubs have a very clean, modern aesthetic. In the woods, the bright white finish of yesteryear isn’t featured (which is a bit of a shame), but has been replaced by an inoffensive gloss black. The full set includes: Driver, 3 Wood, 4 Hybrid, 6-PW irons, putter, and a cart bag.

It’s genuinely a very comprehensive package, providing everything a golfer needs to get out on the course immediately (other than balls, tees, and gloves!). The cart bag is functional, with ample storage and a decent design, though perhaps not the most premium I’ve seen. Don’t get me wrong, it is far from bad, and feels fairly well made and durable, it is just a touch basic in terms of the aesthetic to my eye, so it wouldn’t be rivaling the best cart bags for me. The fact that it’s a cart bag will satisfy many, but obviously, if carrying is your preference, then this is not the setup for you.

In terms of the individual clubs, the driver is, for me, the star of the show. It’s designed to be hugely forgiving and easy to launch, which is exactly what you want from a driver in a set like this. The large sweet spot certainly helps with off-center hits, and I found it produced some decent ball speed. What I particularly appreciate is that TaylorMade has included an adjustable hosel on the driver, which is synonymous with the best drivers in the game. This is a fantastic feature, especially in a package set, as it allows golfers to fine-tune the loft and face angle to better suit their swing and preferences, and importantly, allows this driver to grow along with your ability if you are just starting out. This level of customization is often absent in package sets and shows significant attention to detail.
