My Friend: Taylormade R7 CGB MAX Driver

I replaced my loyal and trusted 580 XD driver with the R7 CGB driver. In neutral, I have a slight draw with the R7 but I was able to adjust easily when I desired a straight shot.

It takes an effortless swing to get the long straight 250-265 yard drive which I am satisfied with. I like the lighter stiff shaft and I think the shape of the head aids in a consistent set up. Golfers seeking the very best in driver performance will get it in the taylormade r7 cgb max driver, which combines the best of TaylorMade's metalwood technologies to promote maximum distance, ease of use, forgiveness and adjustability.

The club's triangular shape makes it easy to launch the ball high and super deep, and the Movable Weight Technology (MWT) with three weights promotes change in trajectory of up to 35 yards from slight fade to large draw. The unique r7 CGB Max Driver shape also allows the CG (center of gravity) to be moved amazingly far back from the face, while the club's SuperFast technology gives it an extremely light total weight for faster swing speed and added drive-crushing power.

CGB stands for Centre of Gravity Back, which is critical to making a club easy to launch high and long. The TaylorMade r7 CGB MAX's distinctive triangular clubhead shape makes it possible to position the CG especially far back in the head in relation to the clubface. That kind of CG location also makes the r7 CGB MAX more stable and forgiving on miss-hits, which leads to another huge advantage about this driver, and that's high MOI.

Finally, the r7 CGB Max is 460 cc with a high MOI (moment of inertia) and Inverted Cone Technology which gives the club unsurpassed forgiveness for long, straight results on off center hits. If drivers were sold on sound alone then the buy golf sets would be the market leader. The head shape and moveable weights give it a solid and almost explosive sound at impact. Unfortunately they are sold on looks and performance too.

When you combine the Inverted Cone clubface technology that TaylorMade incorporates into all of its drivers, which delivers higher ball speed when you miss the centre of the face, you get an effective MOI that's greater than 5800*. The TaylorMade r7 CGB MAX also incorporates our SuperFast Technology, with an ultra-light RE*AX graphite shaft, an ultra-light grip, and an extra inch of overall length, all of which contributes to more clubhead speed for increased distance.

Earlier this year I used a R7 Draw that I could not hit consistently. I think R7 "Duck Hook" would have been a more accurate name.
