Is TaylorMade making an all-black R1 driver?
It might be much ado about nothing, but a recent addition to the United States Golf Association's conforming driver list appears to be an all-black version of TaylorMade's flagship white R1 adjustable driver.
What's shown is a left-handed model that seems to feature the R1's adjustable hosel and sole plate, with only a TaylorMade logo alignment mark on the crown instead of the angled stripes seen on the white version.
Company spokesman Dave Cordero called this club a prototype and said there are "no plans for this version to come to retail."
