Although I'm a Callaway guy, I'd still choose TaylorMade over Callaway. Why? Simply because they're #1 driver in golf. Ok, that's ad talking. Anyway, I love their MWT technology - the ability to shape your shot. Btw, I'm currently using the r7 460cc. Although it doesn't have too much option in changing the result (only straight or draw due to only 2 ports available), but it has helped me eliminate the slice most of the time. A close friend of mine, however, has the r7 425cc. Now, that's the club I'm talking about. It can actually adapt to your current swing. With the stock weights (2-2 grams and 2-12 grams), you'll be able to choose whatever kind of result you're looking for (draw, straight, or fade). But if you decide to get the weight kit, the possibility of different trajectories are even greater.

And now, TaylorMade has the r7 SuperQuad 460cc with 4 weight ports. In other words, r7 425cc and r7 460cc live together in 1 black painted house (yes, the new driver is all black).

So, if you're looking for those kind of features, which I am, TaylorMade is for you. Like I said earlier, it is the #1 driver in golf.

What's in the bag:
Driver: r7 SuperQuad 10.5° ~ UST Proforce V2 65g Regular
Wood: 906F4 18.5° ~ Aldila VS Proto 80g Stiff

I really like my Cobra F-Speed. I've only had a driver in the bag for a year or so - the Cobra replaced my Callaway Hawkeye. Unfortunately I bought it before I got fitted and found out I have the wrong shaft stiffness.

I'm thinking I'll probably sell it soon and go get fitted for a new driver this year.

I currently play either the R7 425, or the Nike SQ. I find myself using the R7 more often than not, even though I am longer with the Nike. I just have more control with the R7 so I opt for that at the expense of the distance. I am not real happy with the stock shaft of the Nike so I may either swap it out, or just get rid of the club altogether.

I'm still using the R5 and will for a while yet. I am going to change out the shaft this year. I dont really care what name is on the head. I think there is too little credit given to the value of having the right shaft in place.

I love my R7 460 9.5 and won't change for a while(at least 1 season)!
The Superquad looks hot and I like the Callaway X460. I'm like a kid in a candy store when I go to one of the big golf retailers!

Still using the trusty old Titleist 975D. However, this will probably be the year to pull the trigger on something new.

I also had:

Taylor Made Ti Bubble
Taylor Made Ti Bubble 2 (Still Have)
Taylor Made Firesole (The only one I didn't like)
Taylor Made 320
Taylor Made 580XD
Taylor Made R7 425 (My Current love)

It seems like Taylormade driver is the most popular so far. I realized that TM drivers have 59 degrees of lie on average, 57 degrees for Titleist on average and 56 degrees for Callaway. Does this difference in lie angle effect performance in any way? If so does it make much of a difference?

I am currently using a Callaway ERC 2 (yes, the one that is illegal in Competition play in America) and it is an amazing club; havent looked at any other driver ever since i got it a couple of years ago.

That Superquad does look nice though....

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
