So Im switching drivers. I think ive come to the conclusion i want the R7. But there is like 9 billion different types of r7's. So i was hoping for some advice on which one to buy.
I realize that the superquad is more expensive and what not. I'm not super concerned with cost. I dont wanna spend over 300, but what im saying is if the Draw will deliver better results than the superquad then i will go with the draw. I have a pretty bad slice if i dont pay attention to what im doing.
So any advice would be sweet.

Yes i am ditching the cleveland for a stupid reason. haha. Dont ask.

Yeah it was a toss up between the G10 and the R7... Im a freaking nerd... and those weights totally sold me. I probably will mess with them once.

there are no weights on the R7 draw - it is fixed to the draw setting. The R7 425 & 460 have moveable weights as does the superquad

The R7 460 draw has weights. I mean i could be mistaken but i know that there is a weight there... I dont know if its adjustable.

The r7 Draw has weights > but they are FIXED in a draw bias.

I would suggest the draw, only if you have a certain fade and/or slice with your drive. The draw bias counteracts this.

Try out the r7 425 as well--a very solid driver that is workable...Best Wishes

"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."

Just my opinion (and since I know nothing about your golf swing except you say you have a slice) but I would get the the r7 460 ($200) which can be set for a draw bias and spend the other $100 on some lessons to work out the slice. However, I would first find a launch monitor to find what degree head and shaft combination works best for you. Also, I know you said you wanted the r7 because of the weights but they really aren't that big of a deal. I've had the r7 and the r7 460 TP and I've never changed the weights from the neutral setting. My point, have fun and try out as many drivers as you can.

Well i dont want a driver that will fix my slice... I should probably take those matters into my own hands. Thats sort of my point... I would like something to help but no rely on. I dont know what to do... There is a golf show this weekend maybe ill just go there and get talked into something.

I just purchased a R7 460 Super quad to replace my Calaway 460 that I could slice more then 90 degree's! ;) Let me say that I only sliced my driver everything else is pretty straight if I set up properly, maybe a slight fade.

Last week I went on a short getway with the wife at River Marsh Golf Club in Maryland. I met a very helpful instructor, Joe Wallman at the resort. He had several demo drivers available, G-10, R7 draw, Titeliest, Cobra, etc. and set me up on the range with all of them.

I worked my through the lineup a few times. I really wanted to like the G-10 but in the end the Super Quad - 9.5 degree stood out. Joe had set it up in a draw configuration with the weights.

Joe let me play 18 holes with the Super Quad and really enjoyed it. I had my GPS with me and in a 20-25 MPH wind (gusty) I was 214 dead into the wind and 293 with the wind. I also recorded a 244 in a cross wind and a 277 with a cross/with wind hole.

With my old driver I had to slow my hands down to prevent a slice and that killed my club head speed and distance. I think a stiffer shaft would have solved that (callaway regular flex) but who knows.

I used the new Scorecard software posted on this site and tracked the my stats...

Hit 58% of the fairways as apposed to 38% the day before with my other driver and breezy conditions. I had some (8) 3 putts the day I had the demo driver in the wind vs. (3) 3 putts the day before. I shot 99 the first day and 98 the second day in 25 MPH winds. If I had not 3 putted so much that would have been a significant improvement for me.

I know those scores are high but I just started playing last summer and have only play maybe 10 times on real grass.... Lots of time on the range and several lessons.

He matched the online prices so I ordered it from him, well worth the price with the included service from Joe and the resort staff.

    • Day 206 3-11 Focused on wider backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. Wasn't really happy with how swing was looking today. Wider backswing is very different for me. Went back to do a some longer pauses at the top. Hit a few foam balls. 
    • This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score
    • Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.  Most beneficial with the weather Round 1: No. 1 tee, Round 2: No. 10 tee 7:40 a.m., 12:30 p.m.: Mark Hubbard, Thorbjørn Olesen, Mac Meissner 7:52 a.m., 12:42 p.m.: Bud Cauley, Vince Whaley, Chandler Phillips 8:04 a.m., 12:54 p.m.: Emiliano Grillo, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman 8:16 a.m., 1:06 p.m.: Kevin Yu, Cam Davis, Gary Woodland 8:28 a.m., 1:18 p.m.: Ricky Castillo, Ryan Gerard, Patrick Cantlay 8:40 a.m., 1:30 p.m.: Adam Schenk, Garrick Higgo, Matt McCarty 8:52 a.m., 1:42 p.m.: Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley 9:04 a.m., 1:54 p.m.: Sami Valimaki, Lucas Glover, Matt Fitzpatrick 9:16 a.m., 2:06 p.m.: Michael Brennan, Harris English, J.T.

    • Things that I am or have worked on... 1.    Trail Elbow - Check 2.    Hip Turn - Check 3.    Rolled Inside - Check 4.    Wide Takeaway - Check 5.    Sway and Tilt - Nope, but I did a hip turn and tilt 🤣 I am giving myself 4.5/5 for my long backswing.  Great post! 
    • We have a very difficult but mostly showy course this week. Lets see what they got. This course offers so many chances to get into trouble it is really a mental minefield. I am excited to see who can handle it and who cant. Last year we got a foreshadowing of JJ and Rory, I am excited for this year Who do people have winning? what will the winning score be? I am thinking 12 or 13 under
