R7 tp

[Jack_2251]

Has anyone tried/owned these irons and the driver, as I am looking at a change to my equipment. Would anyone have any comparisons to ping s58 and 735/695 titleist? Thanks

I have the r7 tp irons and r7 425 tp driver. Funnily enough I just got back from the range about 5 minutes ago. I just picked up the 425 and it was the first time I had a chance to hit it. I'm a bit of an equipment nut and tend to buy clubs online on a whim if I find a smokin deal whick I did for the driver.
After hitting about 30-40 balls with the driver I'm pretty happy with it. It sets up really square being the tp version and I like the slightly smaller head size. The Superquad I have looks a little too bulbus for me and may take a little more getting used too. The stock Rombax 75g shaft has some nice weight too.
As far as the irons go I had it down to the S58's and the R7 tp's at Golfsmith (great minds think alike ) and really liked them both and hit them both equally well. I found a great deal on the TP's hence they are in the bag. You may wan't to look at the mizuno MP60's or the new 57's they are very sweet and I'm currently trying to talk myself out of buying a set The Srixon I-506 can be found for some pretty good deals now also....nice forged iron.

Good luck!

I have th TP irons. I LOVE them. they are very workable and yet somewhat forgiving. A little pricey but they would be worth it.

Alright then, thanks for the input guys. I have decided to wait a while on the irons, as i hit them today and they were a TINY bit unforgiving for an inconsistent ball striker like me

Had it down to Ping S58's, R7 TP's and MP60's - went for the Pings for lower ball flight and control. They look more like players clubs at the address too which throws people off. Also, the word PING puts people off. Don't let it - try them!

The R7's were more forgiving than the other two sets, i would recommend them to someone who is looking for tour standard irons but you want to be striking the ball pretty well to get the most out of them (costly!)

Driverwise - try the standard models as well as the TP's - The standard clubs are designed for the handicap golfer, and are in most cases easier to hit, more forgiving and cheaper.

love the r7 TPs
previously played the 735Cm and MP-32
although not forged these are so much easier to hit ....
the 735 felt a bit harsh although I liked the combo set
the cast irons seem lot more durable but certainly not as much in the feel dept...
