Identifying the right model
- The Type D sheet carries the same r5 dual sole artwork as the Type N: red r, black 5, orange dual, TaylorMade script, two rear TLC ports and a 9.5 marking by the heel; the draw weighting is internal, so the head looks the same.
What to check before using the reference
- TaylorMade’s sheet describes the Type D as the draw-biased r5 dual: a 450 cc head whose pulled-heel shape and pre-configured TLC cartridges put the CG close to the heel; left-handed heads are listed at 9.5° and 10.5° only, all at D1.
- The Type N sheet lists the same head size and length with an additional 7.5° loft and a D2 swingweight; TaylorMade’s 2005 “r5 Drivers” sheet repeats this Type D table unchanged.
Checking a club you own? These are the maker's published figures for an original build, not measurements of your club, and a source date is not the year it was made. Bending, reshafting or a hosel adjustment changes loft, lie and length, so identify the head by its own markings and have a fitter measure it when its history is unclear.
