The new TM's driver is called r7 CGB Max and frankly I don't think will fit your handicap (7.5). It is aimed at people who have low swing speed and having trouble getting the ball airborne, probably higher handicap too. The stock shaft Re*Ax by Mitsubishi Rayon is weighted at 45 gr with 4.8 deg torque. Moreover, I don't think re-shafting with high kick point shaft will lower the ball flight trajectory a lot as the head is designed to get the ball way up in the air. I think another way to do is to get the lower lofted driver and get a new shaft.

There's a lot of possibility to max this new TM driver. But priced at MSRP $499 a piece, there's just not enough reason to experiment with it. .2 cents
What's in the bag:
Driver: r7 SuperQuad 10.5° ~ UST Proforce V2 65g Regular
Wood: 906F4 18.5° ~ Aldila VS Proto 80g Stiff
Irons: MP-60 3-PW ~ True Temper Tour Concept S3
Wedges: Vokey Oil Can 252.08, SM56.10 & SM60.08Putter: Marxman Mallet 33"

I agree with fusioncal... but you never know different drivers work for different people, it may be that you just kill the new one

good luck with your search

If you dont want to spend the dough on the new Titleist drivers the 905R is still a great club and is alot lower in price now that the 907's have come out. I've had mine for a year and i love it.

I've hit the CGB Max.

It depends on what you're looking for. In terms of head shape, it's similar to the 907 D1.

I hit a 9* with a VS Proto shaft (thanks to the TaylorMade fitting system, you can put the club together with this combination).

It didn't suit me - it's not a particularly "low spin" head, which is what I need.

IMO, moving the weights around will alter performance.

Mizuno MX-560, even if it didn't make the golf digest picks for 2008, or judging by your handicap index try the Mizuno MP 600

    • For me it would be opt 1 , even though it’s a watching it slip away scene.  I believe it was Brando who lamented at the end of Streetcar Named Desire that he could’ve been a contender….would I be like @ChetlovesMer’s friend?  I hope not, but to know that for a moment I was giving the  win a run for the money would be a great memory…

    • On my calendar thx @Hardspoon for putting this together
    • After a bit of a lean spell managed to birdie stroke hole one, long par five. Ball striking best it’s been for a while short game exactly the opposite. Had so many opportunities to post good scores last three or four games, failed miserably😀
    • Would You Rather #69 For this question let's assume you are playing whatever tournament is important to you.  Would you rather finish second in your tournament but be remembered for a huge mistake you make right at the end.  or  Would you rather play solidly in your tournament, but you still finish outside the top 25, and are never really in contention.  Incidentally, this happed to a friend of mine many years ago at the tournament I play every year. He was leading the tournament coming into the last hole, where he took two to get out of a greenside bunker and then three-putted his way to second place. He hasn't really been in contention again since.
