The taylorMade r7 425 made some big news as it was ranked the best driver ever accoridng to tgw.com users. Personally I have the driver and can tell you that it is the straightest driver i have ever hit and that includes everything from Squared drivers to every 460 cc forgiving driver. Its crazy to think that it is number 1....Fred Funk is first in driving accuracy with it.....Brian Gay just won with it this year....Bart Bryant was leading the field in accuracy in the first round....Tim Herron won with it last year....I just want to ask everyone why this driver being 4 or 5 years old still holds up today over new technology and bigger 460 cc drivers????

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

I don't mean this in a jerk sorta way, but why do you want to ask everyone that? its a good product and good products tend to stick around. Great clubs don't get replaced by lesser clubs.

When I purchased this club less than 6 months ago I hit the R7 460 and the Superquad and I actually liked the look and feel of the r7 425 better than the other two. Never mind that it was cheaper and many pros are still playing this club. The r7 425 is a very solid driver that will most likely be around for quite a while.

I reviewed the 425 and 460 when it came out a couple years ago. I'm still using the 460 TP version and love it. I still haven't hit a driver to match it.

Of course I haven't tried or tested the new Burner or Titleist D series yet so it remains to be seen how it truly compares to the newer drivers. I'll just say that it will take a lot of convincing.

Fairways and Greens.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
