Advantages: Weight movable technology Disadvantages: Not for the beginner
It was about time that I upgraded some of my golf equipment, well it all needs to be up graded myself included. If you play the game you may know what I mean.
First up was to be a shinny new driver. I looked around for quite sometime checking out all the new stuff and 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 it works. Set the club up for a high draw and that is what you will get.

Advantages: Fantastic feel and a great roll Disadvantages: None
What makes any putter different from another? They are all used on the green to roll the ball into the hole aren't they? Well this range is a little different...
The TaylorMade Nubbins range of putters is very distinctive in looks. They have an orange rubber insert covering the clubface (where you hit the ball) that has little 'nubs' protruding from it (a bit like lego!!). The idea behind this is that when the putter strikes the golf ball, the ball is gripped by the nubs which are incredibly soft, stays on the putter face for longer than a normal putter and then makes the ball roll much quicker after impact. This action reduces any skidding that may normally occur and promotes a great feel and roll on the green thus producing a good putt.
Surprisingly the technology actually works!! These putters feel very soft and the roll ...
Advantages: Easy to use, good looks Disadvantages: Can be pricey - shop around
The secret to this driver is the TaylorMade Launch Control system which is effectively 4 little screw-in weights (2 x 10 grammes and 2 x 5 grammes) that reside in the back of the club. Based on the way the 4 weights are distributed around the back of the club will determine the shape of your shot. The beast comes with a custom wrench to unscrew the weights and a handy 'wheel' that shows you the best positions for the weights based on your swing and ability.
I have always been the kind of gut that takes a 3 Wood off the tee as my driving was always a little wayward to say the least. My game had evolved and my ability increased to the point that I needed a little extra off the tee. Last year I had the opportunity to buy the R7 and since I picked it up my driving has improved considerably. Now we all see the adverts that this ...
