Advantages: Easy to hit,easy to keep straight Disadvantages: Not long hitters
I first started playing golf when I was 10 years old but was forced to take a 20+ break due a back problem only returning to regular play two years ago.
I decided to pretty much start from scratch and took my time choosing a set of irons best suited to my 'back to basics' plan.
I picked Taylor Made burners because they have the largest legal club face and a very forgiving play action. I also picked steel shafts as once again they are easier to ... ...made and these are forged (not cast) with a hollow cut back giving a reasonable deep cut into the ball. The original Burners were a little light but the XD's have more wieght and a better feel in the swing. I think these clubs are perfect for serious new golfer looking to improve his game from a handicap above 20 down to about 16 over a period of about 18 months or so. They ARE easy to hit and keep straight,they ARE durable and will take a lot of ...
...shop i came across the Taylormade V-steel priced and £69.99 reduced from £149.99. As a good deal goes i felt drawn in by nearly £100 being reduced fromt he club and decieded to give it ago which wa probably the best decision of the night.
The V-steel is one of the older models from Taylormades collection but still delivers the results you would exspect from a brand new wood. The distance achiveable is far outstretched what i was exspecting, able ... ...The shaft is made by Taylormade themsleves and weighs 65g which is lighter than many modern shafts avalible and is avalible in a number of flex's, and kick points. I myself own the stiff flex which allows swing speeds of 90-125mph meaning i can swing slower but still again achive distance. (Shaft flex will vary wiht swin speed so if purchasing a new club, speak to a professional).
The club itself looks great and strikes the ball even better. The ...
Advantages: spins loads and nice from bunkers Disadvantages: cuts balls at the start
...a huge fan of the Taylormade brand am when i brought this wedge i was not disapointed. I brought it for £80 which i fell was a good price concidering i brought it off the rack and custom fitted. When i first used it i was amazed by the spin it gave me, however it did cut a few balls! but after almost a year of use im not still cutting balls. I have still however a nice amount of backspin when i strike it. This is remember a club that the taylormade ...
Advantages: Weight movable technology Disadvantages: Not for the beginner
...finally I made my choice.
Taylormade Golf equipment was going to be the clubs for me.
The R7 Super quad was just the weapon.
I picked up the 10.5° degrees of loft with a regular shaft and I must as it was light after the old driver. But boy did it go I have been about thirty yards longer every time.
However have not always been straight but that would be me and not the club.
This club has weight movement technology which is all good fun and ... ...that exceeds 5800. A TaylorMade RE*AX 65 graphite shaft which reduces ovaling in the mid-section and promotes stability, consistency and increased club head speed
Very impressive but what does it mean to the average guy? Not a lot but boy it goes along way off the tee.
Conclusion
Would I recommend this club? Yes but not to the beginner. This is a club for the good to very good golfer and at about £230 pounds this is a good buy. ...
Advantages: Accurate, even on off centre hits. Disadvantages: Maybe a small decrease in length.
The most forgiving driver I have ever had. I previously stuck, steadfastly to my old driver, because I used to find the fairway more often with it than any other, but was persuaded to give the R5 a trial. Wow, was I amazed. I find the fairway more now than ever, even when I don't "get it out the middle" The club is so easy to hit, it sits behind the ball just perfectly, giving you all the confidence you need to "rip" one down the middle. I have probably ... ...I am on the fairway more often, I'll take it!!! I won't tell porkies, I'm not going to tell you it gets me on all the Par 5's in two, because it doesn't....always! What it does, is keep me in play more often, and if I can play three woods and three irons off the fairway rather than hacking out the rough sideways, then that will knock shots off my handicap. Give it a try. ...
