TaylorMade R7 (just r7, not cgb or tp or xd) Irons 

DESCRIPTION

» Engineered for skilled players who prefer an iron that's easier to launch high and straight while also offering excellent workability

» Inverted Cone Technology provides higher COR and increased average ball speed for greater distance

» Exceptionally deep cavity design creates a low and deep CG, making it easier to launch the ball higher for the optimum combination of carry and control

» Moderate offset promotes a square clubface at impact, equaling increased ball control for increased accuracy

» A choice of two shafts (T Step 90-gram steel or RE*AX™ 65-gram graphite) promote higher clubhead speed and a strong release for increased distance

» TaylorMade® logo grip features hundreds of extremely short slots, positioned parallel to the line of the shaft, that deliver increased feel, comfort and traction

I've tried them all and thought I would buy the new Burner irons but these old R7 irons turned out to be much more precise and just as long. Had MX25's before frm Mizuno but work less workable and shorter. But these R7 irons while there are still some left on internet. Cheers

Model Reviewed: TaylorMade R-7

I fully intended to purchase either the 2009 Burners or the Cally X-22s. However, after hitting dozens of balls with the above models plus the Ping G10 and Titleist AP1, the far less expensive R-7 was clearly the better club for me.

It is moderately forgiving, but has a very generous sweetspot. The idstance was equal to the Burners and superior to other irons, but the distance control on the irons was very tight.

Be sure to be custom fit, shot dispersal was noticeably tighter after adjustment. Only possible drawback is the irons are very light, and you need discipline to resist jumping on them. However, that does come in handy if you are between clubs and prefer a full swing.

Bought a set of R7's about six months ago to replace my Ping i3's, which were getting a little long in the tooth.

I was looking at a number of different clubs, but the salesman convinced me that the R7's were the next step beyond Pings. And he was right! They're still a game improvement club, but they certainly go farther (probably one club longer than the Pings) with the same amount of control and forgiveness. And Lord knows I need forgiveness.

I did buy the approach and sand wedges with the set, but ended up giving them to the kids - just too much mass in the heads for my taste. I'm sticking with my Cleveland CG10 wedges.

If you're looking for dependable, forgiving irons with some good distance, give the R7's a try.

All I can say is WOW!!! I have played forged clubs all my life and for the first time found a set of cavity backs that you can actually move the ball left to right AND right to left. Very good feel and response off the club head. Sweet spot is a bit larger than forged so the forgivness is better. 1st full round with them shot 75 and hit 13 greens! What a confidence booster!

Went outdoors to a driving range. I tryed the X-20, Ping G5 (both way to bulky) Nickent 3DX (great club for a not so big name) king cobra (FP) all shots seem to go a little left but not bad. I was torn between the R7's, Nike CCI, Ping I5. The Pings are nice, maybe a 7/10 in rating. The Nikes were actually really good. The head is a little heavy but had a nice feel when you hit the ball. Don't let the club head foul you, there probably the smallest in the game improvment area, but they seem to work fine. Also Nike put in descent shafts for the first time in Nikes history. The R7's take the cake. Not only do they feel good at address but the feel good when you hit. I've been playing Mizuno MX-25 and I thought they were good, but these R7's rock. This is the only product the Taylor Made actually made right! There drivers suck, and most of there irons are just o.k. If your in the market for really good brand name club give these a try. If you dont care for brand names, try the Nickent 3DX but bee worn there not in the market to custome fit you.

I know what I'm playing with this year, Do you?, if you dont know, you have to have the R7's in your bag. I assure you'll be scoring lower.

Great service. They custome fit me in about 30 min. Even up-graded the grips free.

Bought these clubs around 2 months ago and have played with them around 12 times. Very easy to hit, have noticed an extra 15 to 20 meters extra distance across all the irons. Handles miss hits well, very well balanced. Tried the taylormade cgb's, callaway x20, and new srixon irons before I bought the r7's and found not alot of difference between them all, only found a bit more consistancy with the r7's than the rest. overall they are an excellent set of irons, very very happy with my purchase.

I just recently got the R7 last week. I just added 10 to 15 yards with my irons. My 8 iron is going 150 to 155 now. Big improvement. The feel is great as well. Very forgiving in all aspect. I can control both draw and fade. Highly recommended irons.

I love how these feel when you hit 'em. Almost like forged clubs. Not a huge head but still pretty forgiving and they are accurate! On the Taylormade website it says these clubs are for people who have a driver swing speed of 70. Now I'm not fast at 90 to 95 but these irons seem to me to perform best when hit hard so I have to dissagree with that. I have struggled with my long irons for a few years now and one very important factor for me is that I can hit these long irons almost as easily as the short irons and just as accurately. Beautiful balance. In fact they are beautiful clubs to look at as well. Not a huge factor but kind of nice. Also these have very nice grips. No need to go out and regrip. Did I mention these are very accurate. These love to go straight but I can draw or fade them and knock downs, which I've never before been very good at, are easy. These also offer good feedback on miss hits without the painfully harsh feel of some other clubs.
