Description Switched from the R5 Draw to R7 460 Draw. No transition time at all, began hitting this one perfectly right away. I had a Prolaunch 55 Regular flex in my R5, but the ReAx stock shaft in the R7 Draw is...

Summary: In the R7 Taylor Made draw driver I've found the Holy Grail. No more gadgets, cures or courses to straighten that slice. Now my ball finds 70 per cent of fairways - close to tour average I believe - or nestles in the light rough. I've gained only a little distance so far, but being on the fairway gives me excellent opportunities to hit the green in regulation and now my scores are starting to tumble. I'm sure I'll starting hitting the ball harder as my confidence in the club grows. Even though the R7 has been superseded by the Burner, there are still plenty on E Bay. I was lucky enough to find a new one. Try one and straighten your banana.

Summary: My usual ball flight is long with a slight cut at the end, not a slice. I lose a little yardage compared to the guys I play with that hit a draw. I bought this trying to get a little extra roll out. I hit it on the range prior to playing and hit it straight vs my old cut. If you have a swing flaw this driver will not produce the magical draw that is being affected by a swing with an outside to inside swing. If you can adjust to an inside to outside swing and round off your swing some, this driver will produce the draw you are looking for. I was able to fade this driver on a dogleg right when needed by using my normal swing and squaring the face at delivery. I bought the 9 degree with the one degree closed face. The 10 degree has a 2 degree closed face but due to the shaft makeup I went with the 9 to keep from hitting it so high. My ball flight is perfect with the 9 and if I make a good swing the ball draws high and travels. I actually did notice a significant distance increase on the drive probably due to the overspin vs sidespin I usually get with a square face G5 Ping I played with. If you are a good golfer that can make a small swing correction to the inside out swing, this driver will produce what you want. I recommend this driver for golfers with a slight cut or someone looking to find the middle to left side vs the right side all of the time. For severe slicers they should use this along with a review of their swing path to make a correction. It definitely eliminated the right side for me!

Summary: I'm an okay golfer. I shoot mid to high 90s. My big problem is off the tee, it's not that I slice the ball but a slight fade. This driver helped me strightin my drives. I am now a Taylormade user.

Summary: I've never been able to hit a driver correctly in my relative short (3 yr) golf career. Because of my previous lack of confidence, I ditched the driver and opted for a 3-wood.
I realized that I needed to improve my game and what better place to start than the tee box. One of my close friends suggested I try this older driver because IT WORKS!. Boy, does it ever.
Sure, there's the occaisonal mis hit from not using a driver consistently, but it's been great so far. I'm hitting about 220 yds off the tee.
Get yourself a used one for $80 - $100 and swing away. Keep in mind, your golf swing still has to have proper mechanics for it to work. don't expect to hit this driver if you can't take a proper swing (ie. chicken wign, forward pivot, no shoulder turn). Don't expect miracles.

Summary: Every time I read a review it always seems that everyone gets on with the club they’ve bought... Not me!
I've researched, tried and bought various drivers but I always have the same problem... a nasty slice. I've tried to correct it and that has worked to some degree but 7/10 times I would find myself either in the rough or OB.
So, I read the reviews on here regarding the R7 Draw and thought I should give it a go. (You know what's coming next) Yes it's awesome... OMG I played twice with it now and my drives are just amazing.. I'm still not belting it far but each shot is on the fairway and over 220 so once I’m used to it I hope to go further.
These drivers are pretty cheap if you buy second hand. Got mine on a well known auction site and it was worth the £75 paid.
Give it a go - you never know till you've tried....
