Taylormade Superquad R7 Stiff 9.5

[tazrestling27]

I was wondering how some people felt about this club, I have not had a chance to hit it yet, but I know I can get it for really cheap these days. I might go demo it, but I wanted opinions first.
Thanks

Hi, I can highly recommend this driver.

Looks great, sounds great, plays great.
Even though I am not a big hitter, I get the "smash feeling" quite often.
It's neutral at setup, so no closed clubface or anything.

I have set the weight to 1-12-12-1, which means higher launch and no draw/fade bias.
If I put a decent enough swing on it, it flies straight. If I am struggling, I move the weights to the perimeter 12-1-1-12 and the club helps me keep it straight, however with a lower trajectory.
(I am losing distance, because my swing speed is not high enough for a 9.5, especially on the course.)

I have tried the FT-5, FT-9, Diablo, Cleveland XLS, but the Superquad just gives me the right feel and control.
It is a really really solid driver, and if you can get it for a good price, you are definitely not making a mistake.

It's a great club. Good look from address and it has a good weight feeling to me. I think i have the weight 1-14-14-1 because I bought an extra weight kit.

I just bought a Superquad too from Ebay. I wish I could say that I hit it....but I live in Maine and have another month or more to wait. I did take swings on monitor months ago, but it's really not the same thing. From what I remember it felt real nice but the part that I really liked was the sound. Even thought I was only hitting it about 245 on the monitor, they were pure and it gave me a ton of confidence.

I'll be curious what other have to say.

The TM Superquad is indeed a good reliable driver. I own the exact one you are inquiring about. I will have to disagree with a previous post stating that the face is not closed at address. I'm quite sure it is closed at least 1* if not 1.5*. When I was gaming mine, I had the weights set to neutral with the high launch option. I found that it did a great job eliminating the right side of the course. I used to have difficulty slicing the ball every now and again, but now play a consistent fade. After a while, I found that poor drives would head left and stay left. I know that was simply due to my swing progressing, but I wanted to point that out as the closed face certainly lends itself to being a part of the issue.

Last month I was a able to pick up a used FT5 Tour 9.5 w/ a V2 stiff shaft. It is the draw version. I paid $65 for this club. This thing is an absolute rocket launcher and the shaft is amazingly solid. I would recommend this combo to anyone who is looking for the perfect balance of distance and accuracy. That being said, we're all different and it may not be the best option for you...but it works fantastically well for me . I will say that I'm not a huge fan of how this driver sounds but I can easily get over that with the results i get. Good luck with your purchase!

You are correct. The clubface IS indeed slightly closed.

Maybe I was mistaken, because I compared it to the Diablo Draw and my TM Burner rescues, aka "The notorious hook machines" BTW, I also own a FT-5 10°. As you say it's a rocket, but I find it way harder to hit that one straight.

I have hit the 10.5º regular and I loved it because my m8 used to hit one now he bought a Titleist 909 but it was ace I could hit it better than my R9 460 at times
