Identifying the right model
- Full-club photo of the r5 dual sole (red r, black 5, orange dual, TaylorMade script, two rear TLC ports, 9.5 at the heel) on a black shaft with a silver ferrule band; the TP sheet uses the standard r5 dual artwork.
What to check before using the reference
- The TP sheet lists three lofts at 44.75 in, a quarter inch shorter than the 45 in standard Type N, with a left-handed head at 9.5° only; the swingweight depends on the shaft.
- Stock shafts on the sheet are the Fujikura Speeder 757 (X, S, R; D4), Fujikura SIX (X, S, R; D2) and Mitsubishi Diamana 83 (X, S, R; D4) with a Tour Velvet 60R grip, and no custom shafts were offered. TaylorMade’s combined 2005 “r5 Drivers” sheet repeats this table.
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.
