No really--I havent seen any PGA Tour players even use this club. I havent seen anyone even talk about this club. I mean I havent even seen anyone buy this club from dicks sporting goods. What happened to this club. Nobody seems to want it. Why is this?

"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."

Are we talking about the driver or the irons.

I think it works in both cases.

I think it has to do with the price on both Items. For the money I could find better clubs to suit my style of play.

CGB Irons go for like $1100 I think. I could find a "Game Improvment" club for a better price. People that are looking for these types of clubs aren't usually the ones that are going to shell out this type of money.

CGB Driver is $499. Thats getting around TP Driver money. No thank you.

Im talking about the driver. There are no PGA Tour pros that have used this club in competition. This is sad for a new TaylorMade driver

As long as a TaylorMade sponsored player is using a TaylorMade sponsored club, I dont think they will mind to much.

Some still use the r7 425. What a horrible club. It would be even worse for a Forum name.

Just kidding. I am actually thinking about going back to my 425, if the Tour Burner doesnt work out.

I hit the driver out of curiosity... it is a total POS (piece of $hit). It has a severe draw/hook bias. It also feels junky compared to the R7 or other models.

My Clubs: Callaway FT-i Tour LCG 9.5° w/ Matrix Ozik Xcon 6 stiff; Sonartec GS Tour 14° w/ Graphite Design Red Ice 70 stiff; Adams Idea Pro 2h(18°) & 3h(20°) w/ Aldila VS Proto 80 stiff; Adams Idea Pro Forged 4-PW w/ TT Black Gold stiff; Cleveland CG12 DSG RTG 52°-10° & 58°-10°; Odyssey...

My understanding is the CGB max line is meant for the super game improvement category so you wouldn't find any tour pros in that category anyway. They have the best skill level in the world so are gonna gravitate towards stuff like the superquad tp and burner tp as well as some of the older versions like the r7 425 as these are all more of a players club.

The R7 CGB Max is definitely intended to be a game improvement club. It has a shut face and draw bias at address for one. The Burner TP and Superquad TP actually have slightly open faces at address, which is more suited for a tour pro.

      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:
