Subject: TaylorMade R7 425


I'm really digging this new club the R7 425. I bought it online at eBay for
$218 new with the head cover and accessory kit.



This thing is the bomb. The balance of this club is just incredible. The
older club technology didn't allow a clubhead this size to square back up at
impact properly but the new clubhead design is very Hi-Tech and balanced
beautifully. The moveable weight technology allows the clubhead to be
adjusted with incredible results. The sweet spot in this clubhead is huge
and feels like the size of a barn door. Miss hits that would normally land
in the woods are sailing down the fairway.



Anyone else finding the R7 425 the bucks ever spend on a club?

I should have gone for the 425 instead of the 460 then. In the part of
the world where I live, club fitting is simply a matter of 'you look
big, you need stiff shafts'.

Can't really feel where the clubhead is and it doesn't go very far. I'm
averaging 220m (240yds) off the R7 460. I can hit a 5 iron 170m(185yds)
and a hybrid 2i 200m (218yds). Longest drive so far with the R7 went
248m (273yds). Is it the club or the swing? Arrow or indian?

Oh, and the reason I can give you the distance down to the metre is
cause I'm using Intelligolf on a PPC with a GPS receiver. This setup is
sweet!
