Taylormade R7 vs Titleist 906F4

[eirvev]

Hey!

Have anyone tried one, or both of these clubs?
How is the distance? Is there any differents?
How are they from the fairway?
From the tee?

I hope somebody can help me...

My r7 TP is a rocket launcher off the tee

[eirvev]

How is it from the fairway then? Can you get the "under the ball"?

[eirvev]

*the clubhead "under the ball?"

I have an r7 TP 3 fairway and its mint, it is one of those clubs where you pull it out of your bag and no its going to go straight i love it nad is really far with a perfect ball flight!

[Chilidipper]

It seems that everybody on tour uses this Driver. I think I am going to make the step here soon.

Depends which R7 you go for.

The TP will give you lower ball flight and tends to come with stiffer shaft - for the "better" player, higher swing speeds etc but whatever floats your boat.

The R7 St (steel) will give you higher ball flight, with a less stiff shaft - i found it easier to hit and get the ball in the air off the deck.

I have the R7 Ti (titanium) - titanium is lighter than steel so they are able to make the clubhead bigger. Hence the bigger clubhead and deeper face. I tried all 3 and came to the conclusion that this suites my game the best. I can hit it high and low, left and right - set up with draw bias too.

I would think that the 904F is most like the TP, small head and more workability - it's all down to asthetics, how you like the look of the club behind the ball etc - i find Taylormade to look prettier at address - same goes for driver.

[The Rambler]

It's a beaut off the fairway too!

[Beach Golfer]

I like the look of the 906 better but i think that the r7 would be easier to hit for you.

[Ruckus]

I can't imaging anything being easier to hit than the 906f4. I had some problems getting the f2 up, but the f4 was extremely easy and workable too.

Hey!

While I haven't swung the TaylorMade club, I recently purchased the 906F4. I find the club superb: easy to hit off the tee ( just tee it very low ), off the fairway and, even, out of light rough. I love its simple, spartan design. There is an excellent review on this website of the 906F2 and 906F4. That review prompted me to give the F4 a try and I am so glad I did. Who knows, the TaylorMade may be swell, but do give the 906F4 a try. I hope this info helps you.

Im thinking of buying the Titleist based on the review from the site aswell. The good thing about the Titleist is that it has 2 shaft choices and you can even order it from them and have infinite shaft options. while Taylormade has those icky stock shafts.

Try these clubs out at a local golf outlet with a indoor range . Dont forget to try out the MIZUNO F-50 . You will love the way this club reacts both on the tee and in the fairways .

[eirvev]

No I am confused. The review says that the club is for "the better player" I don't consider myself as a that.. (yet:P). You says that it is the easiest club ever.

What is correct? Anyway, It seems that both are exellent clubs. So maybe the price should decide...

[Jack_2251]

No, I'm pretty sure that its the F2 thats for good players, the F4 is made to suit all handicaps.

[eirvev]

Which shaft should i pick(Titleist 906F4)? Any specific diffrent between the YS6 or the Aldila VS80 Proto.

[Jack_2251]

Well the Graphite Design YS+6 is great in my driver, but so are all aldidla shafts. Really personal preference

I bought the F4 with Graphite Design YS-6 shaft, which was not bad. I did have the club reshafted with an Aldila NV-65, because it was similar to those in my hybrids. The shafts in my driver, wood and hybrids are all Aldila, all have the same feel to them, a consistency I like.

As for another concern expressed: Titleist made the F2 for the lower handicap golfer, the F4 is designed with some game improvement features: for one thing, it is easy to get up in the air; another, its low profile design makes it easy to hit off the fairway as well as off a very low tee. If the desire is to get the ball down the fairway, relatively straight, with distance of a 3 wood, from a variety of lies, then this club delivers. No one should necessarily recommend to you a particular shaft because that's a choice you should determine based on empirical evidence: try several different clubs with different shafts, if you can, and choose the one with which you are most consistent. Good luck.
