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.

      Terry - what a story…I’m about 12 yrs your junior but I do have friends in similar places of life. Like others have said - “go for it”.  The fact that you’re willing to challenge yourself in the midst of dealing with something like Parkinson’s is hero level stuff….looking forward to seeing how this great adventure plays out and make sure to get some of it on video as well.  Make them memories dude!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Played nine today. Just went out trying to make a swing that had the feels of what I am working on. I would give it a C- at best. The best swing came on the 9th hole, 220 yard par 3, downwind. I finally made a swing where I felt the pause, and the arms down stuff like I practice. I hit the 4 iron about 215 yards, it rolled just off the back of the green about 20-Ft from the pin.  I might play 10 yards shorter on every iron shot, and make that pause swing, cause I can still hit it about 90-95% the distance.  Distance wedges or 3/4 wedges are going to different. Shanked two of them today trying the pause, arms down stuff. Might spend a bit of time looking at the video on those shots specifically.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 350: good practice session today. Hit about 25 balls, working slowly on my priority piece. It looks decent in slow motion. Better at full speed but not quite there. Then putted for about an hour. Focused on putts inside 10’ but also did a stack putting session.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Two of my golfing Buddie's are left handed. I will play a couple of rounds and use their clubs and see how I do.  Played last Thursday and had the worst game ever. (Playing in really strong winds. (SW @ 20 to 30 mph with > gusts.)  Will let everyone know when I get back out. May not play until Monday.   Thanks everyone, for your encouragement.    Terry
