New on the market: TaylorMade's r7 Limited driver.
The scoop: The next driver in the r7 lineage also uses Movable Weight Technology to fuel a remarkable boost in performance. But where the r7 SuperQuad promotes a side-to-side change in trajectory of 28 yards, the r7 Limited promotes a change of 35 yards, and does so with only three weights. And, whereas the r7 SuperQuad and CGB MAX drivers are decidedly draw-biased, the r7 Limited is neutral. Configuring the weights properly in the r7 Limited is: If you want the shot to bend right, put the heavy (16-gram) weight in the toe, if you want the shot to bend left, put the heavy weight in the heel. If you want the shot to go straight, put the heavy weight in the middle. All three weights and an MWT wrench are included. The r7 Limited also incorporates a new, modern clubhead shape. Reminiscent of a triangle, with soft corners for a pleasing appearance, the head is faster-looking than any r7 driver head before it, and the address footprint is exceptionally large, giving it a substantial and confidence-inspiring appearance. In fact, the r7 Limited head is longer from front to back than the r7 SuperQuad head, which gives the r7 Limited a deep CG that's far back from the clubface, making it easier to launch the ball on a high, long flight. The r7 Limited head boasts an extremely high MOI measurement for greater stability and forgiveness. And, like all TaylorMade drivers, r7 Limited features Inverted Cone clubface technology for higher ball speed on off-center hits.
What it costs: The r7 Limited carries a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $500, and availability at retail begins on Sept. 15.
