It sells fine. Anyone with a 36 handicap should NOT worry about the shaft unless it's made out of hickory...

Taylormade R5's are a little bit expensive for a high handicapper. Id go with something more along the lines of a Adams or something cheaper. If your ok with used clubs go with a Cleveland Launcher. I play one and i poke the ball 300+ very easy. The Fuji shaft is amazing even though im transfering to a speeder for this season. good luck

I gotta say that until I bought my R5 I rarely used driver off the tee. Although I will be the first to admit that the shaft is the real reason I love my R5, but on slight mishits (which is almost hard to do with 450cc a head) it flies pretty far and stays in play. Now I use driver on almost all par 4 and 5 holes unless they are either very short or have a lot of trouble past 250 yards. If TM changes models again I may buy another one to keep for the future .

You can see more info on the R7 425 at edwin watts website (go to "shop by brand" then choose TM).

I live near Sarasota, between Tampa and Ft Myers.
