So I think Im gonna buy an r7 driver, they have some good prices around town on them.

Does anyone have one of the draw versions of the driver? If so is the club noticeably closed at address?? I dont like a closed face at address, and wondering if thats how the r7 draw is?

Thanks a lot!

I have a burner draw and it is definitely has a closed face at address so I'd imagine a R7 driver would as well.

If I'm not mistaken, even the R7 neutral will have a closed face. I believe it's .5*. I could be wrong, but I know my superquad had a closed face. I don't know you swing or anything but I feel like the draw driver may be a bit much. It might be a better idea to get a lesson or two to work on the swing path. I think you'll benefit more in the long run. That being said, hit what works for you.

OK, thats what I have now, I have a knockoff FT-I driver, and its a pretty closed face at address, I dont really like it, and I tend to hit it left when I hit it "square", and when I leave the face "open" (which ends up being square) it goes straight, but I'd say thats only 50% of the time....

I dunno If I should get the R7, the draw, or keep the one I have.... Cool guy that built me the club, said hell give me my money back, so I can use that toward a new club.... The r7 has a .5* closed face you say??

Maybe thats the club then, I just dont know..... I can only find the R7 regular right now around town..

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
