TaylorMade r7 Quad HT Driver

TaylorMade r7 quad ht driver is a variation of the popular r7 quad and has been introduced following increased consumer demand for the benefits of moveable weight technology be made available in a driver that was more suited for higher handicap golfers than the existing r7 quad. As such the Taylormade r7 quad ht is targeted at players who can increase their distance off the tee by boosting their spin-rate and launch angle. The r7 quad ht?s clubhead is sized at 400 cubic centimetres (the same as the r7 quad) however it features a shallower, longer clubface and a larger, more substantial clubhead shape when viewed in the address position. The ht's different shape gives it a 5% increase in moment of inertia (MOI) versus the original r7 quad, so the ht is slightly more forgiving on mis-hits. Additionally, the difference in the r7 quad ht's head geometry results in a centre of gravity (CG) position that's 1.5 millimetres farther back and 1 millimetre lower than the r7 quad. The r7 quad ht's deeper, lower CG position produces launch conditions that deliver a higher trajectory. TaylorMade testing indicates that the r7 quad ht delivers a one-half degree higher launch angle and an additional 400 rpm of spin than the standard r7 quad. This enables players who require more spin and a higher trajectory to optimize their distance.

The Taylormade r7 quad ht driver shares the same advanced technologies as the standard r7 quad, including TaylorMade Launch Control (TLC). TLC technology gives the user the freedom to change the clubhead's weighting to create a variety of launch conditions. As with the r7 quad the ht version comes complete with a TLC Torque Wrench, a trajectory wheel for easy understanding of where best to place the weight cartridges to achieve optimum ball flight and a detailed instruction manual that clearly explains how to install, remove and care for the TLC cartridges and TLC ports. The r7 quad ht is also equipped with TaylorMade's M.A.S.2 7 shaft, which weighs 55 grams. A lighter, 50-gram shaft, the M.A.S.2 7-50, is also available in L flex.

TaylorMade r7 Quad HT Driver Review

The TaylorMade R7 Quad is the first in the line of what we think will be the future of all clubs, namely adjustable weights. We tried this driver in a variety of weight combinations and the flight of the shots did vary accordingly so it can be set up to suit any swing. Not that it will correct your swing faults - you still need a coach for that - but it will lower or raise your ball flight, or create a slight draw or fade, depending on what you want. Obviously if you are happy with the standard setting then you may not need all this versatility. However you are still left with a very competent club that looks good, sounds good and is very easy to hit. The slightly different head shape to the normal R7 Quad looked good and the club was certainly easier to get up in the air - ideal for higher handicappers or those with a slower swing speed.

Best TaylorMade Driver I've hit. Have not been a fan of TaylorMade drivers before but I am after hitting this club. Superb. Gives you a penetrating flight, great distance and is forgiving. What more could you want. Only problem would be the price. Not the cheapest!
