With moderate offset, deep-cavity design and “inverted cone technology”
that improves ball speed on mis-hits, the TaylorMade r7 is a very forgiving
club. An aluminum vibration-dampening web gives the club a nice quiet feel and
helps absorb shock. “Even mis-hits felt good,” says a 16.Although the
typical ball flight is high and straight, the club’s classic shape allowed our
testers to work the ball somewhat, although not as much as with the r7 TP
model. The lofts are strong, especially in the short irons (the PW is 45
degrees). “It’s got the best of both worlds,” says a 12. “I like the high
ball flight, but it’s reassuring to know I can hit it lower when necessary.”
