Mutiple Technologies TaylorMade R7 CGB MAX Driver Review

 

The TaylorMade R7 CGB MAX driver, which is characterised by its appealing shape and deep red color, incorporates multiple technologies that make possible its extraordinary performance. They are nice looking golf clubs if you don't mind the triangle shaped head. Looks just like the 2009 Burner.

 

The first technology of the TaylorMade R7 CGB MAX driver is the Movable Weight Technology which in the form of three weights; one in the toe, one in the heel and one in the very back. Two 1-gram weights and one 16-gram weight are included, and configuring them in the clubhead to promote a specific ball flight is remarkably intuitive. Very simply, if you want the ball to go to the right, put the heavy weight on the right side of the clubhead (the toe). That promotes a slight fade.

 

"CGB" stands for Centre of Gravity Back, which is critical to making golf clubs easy to launch high and long. The 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 mis-hits, which leads to another huge advantage about this driver, and that's high MOI.

 

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 center of the face, you get an effective MOI that's greater than 5800*.

 

The TaylorMade R7 CGB MAX driver takes the SuperFast technology introduced in the wildly successful Burner line to the next level. The shaft weighs in at 45 grams, making it the lightest stock shaft on the market, which helps to increase clubhead speed for added distance. The grips of these golf clubs are extremely light as well, again designed to help boost clubhead speed. The increased clubhead speed theme is taken further by installing a longer shaft which helps boost clubhead speed even further. Since many people have a little more difficulty getting center contact with a longer shaft, inverted cone on the back of the face is designed to help boost ball speed on slightly off center hits.
