I want to upgrade my Taylor Made R580XD driver to an R7 driver (with weight adjustments).  I don't mind being a couple generations behind, since the price of newer clubs is so high.  My handicap is around 14.  I hit consistent drives with the R580XD and it is a great club (I recommend it for those that want to save money).  It is very forgiving and is made to provide a higher trajectory (which is why I use a 9.5 degree).  My swing speed is about 90 mph (so I use a regular flex).

I want to buy an R7 driver and was looking at the R7 Superquad.  I read that the setup looks nice and also the sound.  It wasn't clear if it has an offset (which I don't need).

=================================================================================

R7 Superquad Features

  • All-Black 460 cc clubhead
  • 26 grams of movable weight in four ports that promote 28-yard lateral trajectory change and 1.5 launch-angle change. (Includes two 12g and two 1g weights)
  • Massive 460 cc clubhead combined with TaylorMade's Inverted Cone Technology
  • Exceptionally low-deep CG, easy to launch on a high, strong trajectory for long carry and phenomenal distance
  • TaylorMade RE*AX 65 shaft

=============================================================================

R580XD Features:

• Substantial 440cc head that fuels massive MOI for greater forgiveness

• 45.5-inch length

• Ultra light 65-gram shaft, which is low torque and tip-firm to enhance workability and control

• 315-gram overall weight

I had the 580XD several years ago and replaced it with the R7 425 TP that I am now playing.

I much prefer the look and feel of the R7.  It sets up slightly open with a nice circular clubhead, and the solid feel provides better feedback than the 580XD.  I like the ability to adjust shot bias and swingweight with the weight kit, and I'd recommend finding the full weight kit that came with the TP heads (I bought mine on eBay for $50).

I haven't hit the superquad, but it's known to be a great head as well.

Also, the TP shafts are worth the extra $ in these clubs unless you plan on being fit for an aftermarket shaft.
