Taylor Made R7 460 driver

Summary:
I have owned this driver for two months now and am very happy with it. I have played about 12 rounds with it and have had it out to the driving range a least that many times. I did have to spend some time with it to get the ball flight I wanted. I typically play a fade off the tee with a low to med. trajectory. The first few times I was loosing balls to the left, a first for me and the flight was too high. I fixed this by not having the ball so far forward in my stance and lowering my tee height. Bingo it now goes straight down the middle of the fairway. Don't be afraid to adjust your set up if you are having troble with a new club. This driver is the most forgiving club I have hit, heel and toe shots are still in play with good distance. I am hitting this 15 + yards longer than my old Clevland Launcher, 250-260 avg. with a number of them 280-290 when I flush it. It's nice to hear your buddies say you are driving the ball better than every. Give this driver a try.

Taylor Made R7 460

Summary:
I have played primarily with Titleist drivers. 905T and last eight months with the 905R with the Aldila NV stiff. Age and injury forced me to consider a regular shaft. I had tried Taylor Made drivers in the past and wasn't impressed. I borrowed one and was surprised with the results. So I bought an R7 460 (10.5) with a Grafalloy Blue regular shaft and have been very pleased. The ball wants to go straight. The flight is a little high, but I have been able to lower it with a little effort, and still hit fairways. It just feels easy to hit. Maybe the shaft. I have had the same experience as some of the other reviews in noticing a small loss in distance, but it is worth it for the increased number of fairways I'm hitting. Only wish I had been able to find the club and shaft combo in a 9.5 loft.

Ping G5 Fairway Wood (3 Wood)

Summary:
Hi there,
I'm 15 years old and play ALOT of golf , i was pretty happy with my long game but wanted to take it to the next level (i basically needed a reliable forgiving wood to reach par 5's in 2 and to tee off on short par 4's) So i bought a 'Ping G5' 3 wood with a regular prolaunch graphite shaft and well all i can say is W0W! This club has really improved my game not just the gameplay but my confidence too , I am now reaching my par 5's in 2 shots consistently along with nearly reaching the short par 4's in one!I highly recommend this club to all golfers looking to invest on a forgiving wood because this certainly does the job!!!

Taylor Made R7 460

Summary:
I just bought the TM R7 460 and it is awesome. I had been away from the game for a while. A shoulder injury caused a long layoff, then when I came back, all my distance was gone and the game was no fun. A freind introduced me to this driver. I bought my own and took it to the range. After a few nervous mis-hits (and fear that I had just wasted some money), I started hitting it great. I was consitently hitting the ball 250-275 yds, straight. I took it from the range to the cousre where I hit it long and hit 10 fairways. I was able to reach 3 of the par 5s in two and was usually no more that a PW out on the par 4s. Bottom line -this club is wonderful and has gotten me excited about golf again!

Taylormade r7 460

Summary:
The stock Reax shaft is a great shaft, contrary to what other people have said in this forum. It does launch the ball high, but I also think that many people tee the ball too high due to stiff shafts in drivers (the stiff shaft makes the ball launch low). A buddy I play with has a 135 mph swing and not only knocks the crap out of this driver, but also keeps it in the fairway. And this is not because the senior flex plays like a regular. Each flex of the reax shafts play like they're supposed to while still maintaining relatively low torque.

I also believe that the head on the r7 is splendid. The main reason I came out searching for this driver is because I was tired of the melon-head Cobras--they had no sweet spot. This driver clearly has a sweet spot, however is also very forgiving and long.

Customer Service:
I don't know, but I had to pay for the weight wrench, which was pretty annoying.

Similar Products Used:
Cobra 454 comp (long but closed face was tough to deal with and no sweet spot), Nike Ignite (head seemed dead), Nike SQ Sumo tour (good driver with the Diamana in it), Callaway ft-i (too tinny), Taylormade 425 (good driver, very long, however closed face made it unplayable for me)
