TaylorMade R7 TP Iron

January 22, 2007

Are you a player?

No, not that kind. The golf kind. The kind that uses clubs with small heads and little or no offset. That can work the ball and knows distances to within a yard. Guys not like me.

If you are a player, you might like the new TaylorMade R7 TP Irons, which made the 2007 Golf Digest Hot List as the top “Player’s Iron.” These clubs have the look and minimal offset that better players like, while still offering some great technological features.

The R7 TP offers a clubface with TaylorMade’s inverted cone technology, which produces a higher coefficient of restitution (bounce) and ball speed on mishits, resulting in increased average distance. It’s also got an aluminum web on the back which is supposed to produce a softer feel at impact. A tour configured sole offers less dig.

These are a good looking club; the kind I wish that I could play.
