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.

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.

      Day 288 6-17 Low point control without ball. hit quite a few swing where i was wanting the club to hit the ground.  Added a ball with towel behind it, just to see where im at. Wasn't horrible but need some more work. Pretty much full speed swings.

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

      Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.

      There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:
