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..

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).

      Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
