Drive, Chip, Putt - Everything About Golf

The TaylorMade R7 CGB MAX is the newest driver to incorporate TaylorMade’s Movable Weight Technology™ (MWT). MWT provides you with 3 weights that promotes up to 35 yards trajectory change from side to side. This will allow a golfer to correct either a slight fade or an extreme draw off of the tee and provide better accuracy and distance. The picture below shows how adjusting the weights will change your shots.

With this club TaylorMade decided to buck the trend of making drivers with square club heads and went with a 460 cc triangle shaped club head instead. According to TaylorMade’s engineers, they chose to use the triangle shape because it promotes a far-from-the-face center of gravity and a high launch angle helping your drives go further. This club also comes with a very light 45 gram shaft stock.

When using this club, shots really do fly off of the face and the MWT technology is great at moving shots based on your skill level. However, you do need to be aware that if the weights are left in the neutral position, your shots will still move slightly from right to left.

All of the technology packed into this club places it on the pricier side of drivers. You can currently buy it for about $500 at Golf Galaxy.
