TaylorMade r7 Draw Irons??

[stevenlsmith]

Hey,

I am looking into the TaylorMade r7 draw irons and was wondering what you guys thought of these clubs for a begginner.  I know I need lessons to help develope my swing and that I need to get them fitted to me, but my main question was will these help me now but hurt me in the long run?

Will I get to adjusted to them and the fact that they help swing the club face around quicker that it will hurt my once I switch to a better set of clubs once I get to a lower handi-cap??

Just some thoughts before I pull the trigger on a used set of them.

Thanks guys for all your help and patience with this newbie...

Those are the sticks I use.  I picked them up a couple years ago because they were cheap, and I hit them well.  The draw in their name would imply that they are easier to hit draws with, and while that may be true for some, the actual science behind it has some drawbacks.  For 1 it moves the center of gravity closer to the hosel, which in rality makes them a little harder to hit than the regular R7's.  I think they offset that by making the sole larger, and giving them more offset.  If you are just learning your swing you probably don't want all those compensations built into a club, it could cause bad habits.  I already had bad habits so i figured maybe a club to fix them would be nice.  I would recommend the standard R7's or something like a Callaway X20 or x22.  You can find those around pretty cheap, and they should last you a long time.
