TaylorMade r7/r7 TP Irons Sneak Peek

[iacas]

Jack will write a full article in two Mondays (not on Labor Day) to cover this... but for now, have a peek at TM's forthcoming new r7 and r7 TP irons.

Revised LTs? Kinda.

wow, they resemble the MX-23's... i can't wait for the review on them, as i am up in the air between the Rac TP's or possibly these R7 TP's. Although it seems that the Rac TP (not the MB's) are a bit more of a workable club, Am i right in thinking this?

They kinda replace the RAC LTs, really. I played with them today. The RAC TP is going to be more workable, yes. I had a hard time adjusting to these clubs today. I hit what I thought were terrible shots that turned out well (good forgiveness) yet I had a hard time controlling my draws and cuts. I never adjusted to the offset nor the thick toplines. It'll take me a few more rounds before that comes about.

I'm really, REALLY , happy I got the Lt's before they moved to this shazam graphics scheme. I think they look like stunt doubles for some car in, "The Fast and the Furious"

I'm really,

I agree - they're hideous - the new R7 forged looks great but are only available in Japan - but you can always buy the at

www.tourspecgolf.com , but the price is HIGH and steep $1.295 - but they sure do look nicew these new forged R7 irons:

Those look SUH-WEET!

[rockyt]

wow...those look awesome!

[muskegman]

Beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen less offset in an iron.

Lefty Haters...

Beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen less offset in an iron.

Then you haven't been fortunate enough to have a set of Miura Cb-201 and Miura Cb-301 in your hands

They look a lot like the R7 Forged when seen from the players position. Especially the Miura Cb-301 looks awesome too. But I agree - the R7 Forged is an iron, which I think Taylor Made should release and sell in the US and Europe.

Is this new r7 going to usher in a new age of club graphics? We've seen in on skis and golf shafts for years.

I played about 12 or 13 holes with the regular r7 (non-TP) irons yesterday, and I was very impressed. It's tough to give a firm opinion because it could have been the first-time luck thing. However, I hit them very well.

Just a few quick notes:

-I hit the long irons better than I've hit any long irons in the past few years. I teed off with a 3-iron twice and stuck it right in the middle of the fairway, leaving me an easy second shot in the process. I also hit a couple 4-irons out of the fairway, and the results were very good.

-I was long a couple times but dead-on with the line. I was clearly hitting them a club longer than I do my Titleist 804.OS irons. I usually hit my 9-iron about 135-140 yards and my 8-iron about 145 yards or so. I hit each of these 10 yards farther with the r7's.

I'm impressed so far with the distance and accuracy of the r7 irons. I'll have to hit them a lot more to get a good feel for them though. I'm playing at a nice course this weekend at a family reunion, so I'll leave more impressions as I go.

Hello...

Today I got my new set of T/M R7 Forged... They are so awesome to hit, the feeling is incredible! I think I will never change clubs again...

[DDBowdoin]

those look pretty nice, the only problem is when and I'm assume they'll be released into the us market the cavity portion of the club will be filled in with some flashy color... a shame

thats why I love my 735's, as boring as you can get

Huh? These clubs have been out for a year or so.
