Taylormade R7 CGB Max Limited

Well, I just ordered one. Should be fun to play around with the 3 different shafts and weights. At roughly the same price as the R9 is going for, I figured it was alot more bang for the buck. Anyone else gamed this club. It's supposed to be a more classic sized and shaped club than the standard CGB Max which is larger and has the Triangular shaped head. I'll update with my feelings once I play with it this weekend.

i have the cgb max and i love it...i don't have the weights but i've been hitting pretty well with it. i prolly should get the weights though...just so i can screw around with it. right now i am currently fading my shots and i can't get rid of it but i'm working on it...

I have the non-limited version in the closet since the shaft is only 45g. If it had a nicer shaft in it, I would definitely think about playing it. Great looking club IMO.

Well, I am more than satisfied with this club. I don't have any places close by that allow trying different shafts with different kick points and flexes, so I've been forced to hit the few friends clubs and the random other people who've bee kind enough to let me swing theirs to get an idea of what I like. I've gamed a Nike Sumo Knock off with a no name Regular flex shaft and got decent distance but sprayed the ball everywhere.

So, I got the club yesterday, and took it to the driving range. I've never hit so many straight balls in my life. And the 3 shafts truely make huge differences in the trajectory of the ball. My favorites are the Diamana Whiteboard and the Fujikura Rombax with the Rombax giving me the best all around trajectory. The Matrix shaft is a much higher trajectory and might be fun to play to, but the lower trajectories seem to be far better for me.

Balls are straighter, longer, and feel like butter coming off the face. I've been grinning for 2 days. I played 9 holes with my buddy last night after the range, and he was amazed that I was ending up dead straight every hole. And I shot 4 over on 9 holes, which is about 5 shots better than my best previous 9 holes at that course. I give credit to no lost balls and the added yardage making the par 5's reachable with a shorter iron than I was using before.

Anyways, I highly recommend this package. At the $299 price I paid, I would be hard pressed to find a club with more adjustability for cheaper.
