TaylorMade's best Moveable Weight driver- R7 Limited Driver Review

Nov. 14, 2010 - PRLog -- TaylorMade r7 Limited Driver In 2004, TaylorMade introduced Movable Weight Technology in a seminal driver called the r7 quad, which gave golfers the ability to move weight in the driver head to promote changes in trajectory to gain greater distance and accuracy. It was followed by the r7 425, the r7 460 and r7 SuperQuad, drivers whose groundbreaking performance fueled record popularity among tour professionals and recreational players alike. Now, TaylorMade has unveiled the next driver in the r7 lineage, the r7 Limited, which promotes a change of 35 yards, and does so with only three weights weighing 16-grams, 1-gram and 1-gram. The r7 Limited also incorporates a new, modern and beautiful clubhead shape. Reminiscent of a triangle, with soft corners for a pleasing appearance, the head is faster-looking than any r7 driver head before it, and the address footprint is exceptionally large, giving it a substantial and confidence-inspiring appearance while deeper, lower CG

The Taylormade R7 Limited is a thin wall titanium driver that allows room for three movable weights.  The stretched triangle shape dramatically increases MOI.  Nothing new with Taylormade.  They've got a history of stretching the limits on all the drivers they manufacturer.  But it should be duly noted that this driver can affect the ball flight by as much as 20 left and 15 yards right.  That's definitely pushing the limit of manipulation by a change of a setting.  But its all good.  Even though adjusting ball flight by movable weights has been around a while, Taylormade is really the originator of the concept and probably has had the most success with it as well.

First, with the longer head, you get a lower center of gravity which will allow the ball to launch higher and faster than ever before. Second, the head shape itself is designed to reduce drag, therefore creating more club head speed for more distance. Match those with TaylorMade's popular Inverted Cone face and a new Matrix X-Con shaft, and you get a high launching, low spinning driver that loves to find fairways! Oh, yeah, did I mention it keeps the R7's key feature of removable weights? This means you can find a position to launch the ball with any type of trajectory and flight you want!

I was a little put off by the look myself when I hit this club. I love a traditional looking club head, and am very pleased with the new R9, so be sure to read my review on that bazooka! The R7's new look, while there for a reason may not be what everyone is looking for, but it has found it's way into the bags of some PGA Tour pros as of late. Typical to the R7 series, with moving the weights, I could find just about any type of ball flight I would ever want to hit with this club. The new club head shape, while a bit different from the past, was soon forgotten when I started launching the ball noticablly higher than previous R7 drivers. This added carry with less spin will put a few more yards onto your drives for sure. The new Matrix shaft felt great in my hands, and while it felt a little long, I quickly got used to it, as it is designed to keep the larger headed drivers of today very stable through the swing.
