The ball jumps off the TaylorMade r7 CGB Max driver on all hits. The carry is longer that I had expected and the launch angle is perfect for me. The shaft feels great and is super fast for a 67 year old man. I can hit it up to 230 to 245 yards and straight. Moving the weights also gave me a chance to move the ball either way.

The TaylorMade CGB Max driver sounds good through impact with a solid feel. It gets the ball out there, but it just looks awful. The red/black colour scheme just doesn't work for me and the back of the head looks like someone melted it down and they just kept it. If you can get over the looks it is not that bad a club.

The TaylorMade r7 CGB Max is a great driver. Sends the ball high, long and down the middle. I replaced my Ping G2 with this club and couldn't be happier. I have a 9.5 loft with stiff shaft and as the shaft is very light a smooth swing will send the ball miles. If you have a tendency to hit your tee shots with a slight fade this club in the slight draw setting is perfect to straighten your drives and even give you a draw. I recommend this club for people with mid to high handicaps.

I was using a Ping G2 but wasn't satisfied with this club's performance . Eventually after a great deal of research I settled on the R7 CGB Max as a replacement.With a 9% loft as opposed to the 10% loft on the Ping and using a slightly lower tee height I found that I was hitting the ball a considerable distance further and with the weights set neutral, all shots are a great deal more accurate and all this with seemingly less effort. I let my son have a few hits with the R7 too and he found exactly the same-indeed he was that impressed he bought one too.
