OK I bought an R7 Superquad at a golf expo this past weekend (10.5, and reg shaft) for $250.... I don't know if it's the TP or not... I just realized there's a difference between the TP and just the regular Superquad. Can anyone shed some light on that? Also I'm not sure how to properly use the weighting system. I'm going to play 9 now, I'll report back with my thoughts on the club in general in a few hours. Thanks in advance for any help!

Home Course:
Town of Colonie (69.7-70.1, 119-125)

unless you have a first edition like mine, there will be grooves in the center of the club face, that indicaates a tp, if there are no grooves, but ti still has the symbol, it is a first edition, adn iwll say so. i can takae pics if you need.


P.S. its a beautiful club when you get it working...

I think fakes r7 SuperQuad TP are logo-ed with 1st Edition All Black. A $250 SuperQuad is supposedly to be the regular version and I'm guessing it's genuine since you bought it from brick and mortar shop.
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"

fusion- the ones labled all black are not fakes. they are quiete reall. On the TM site, it says they are, "commemorative of this great achievment in driver technology." or something like that. I snagged mine for 170, and it ran through the taylor made registration just fine...

My bad, perhaps I wasn't being too clear with this. I didn't mean all SuperQuad 1st Edition All Black are all fakes. I was saying that to my knowledge "they" make fakes SuperQuad only with the 1st Edition version, but not the 460MWT.

OK so turns out it's not a TP just a regular Superquad. I played 9 yesterday... it was windy and 42 degrees. I really only hit one beautiful drive... it's going to take some getting used to. I couldn't turn my old driver over fast enough so I played it pretty far up in my stance. I obviously set up the same with the R7 which resulted in a hook. When I tried holding back my wrists a little bit I held them back too much and pushed it. I'm sure just moving the ball back in my stance while maintaining the same swing as before will be the key here. Can anyone lend some advice on using the weights? TIA...

more info here: http://www.taylormadegolf.com/produc...il.asp?pID=167

this is what i remember:

1) heavier weight on top - produce lower ball flight
2) heavier weight on heel - tend to draw
3) heavier weight on toe - tend to fade

and i think the rules say you are not supposed to tinker with the weights during a round. have fun!

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
