Taylormade r7 460 driver weight adjustment golf club
Taylormade's golf clubs have a reputation for both good quality and a focus on the needs of individual players. For this reason, some of their drivers feature several small, adjustable weights that players can use to alter the balance of the club. Changing the balance, in turn, alters the payer's swing, automatically correcting bad habits and making drives longer and more accurate. In essence, Moveable Weight Technology ( MWT) gives each player a custom-made driver, balanced precisely for his or her own swing. Examples of how the weight systems work for two different drivers should help players decide if these systems are what they need. The other drivers that have MWT work slightly differently, but they employ the same principle and they come with detailed instructions. Introducing the R Series Taylormade has two main lines of golf clubs, the Burner series and the R series. The Burn series is for beginners and casual golfers and their designs are very forgiving of subtle mistakes in technique. The R series, however, is for more advanced players, including professionals. MWT is one way some R series clubs let players fine-tune their technique. Comparing R7 Drivers Not all R series drivers have MWT, but there is more than one R7 that has these mobile weights. The principle is the same, but slight differences in design create differences in weight positioning. Other aspects of club performance are also different. Name Number of Weights Number of weight sizes R7 Quad R7 Limited R7 CGB Max R7 460 TP R7 460 R7 425 TP R7 425 The physics of all of these drivers is the same, but the number of weights and the number of weight sizes determine how precisely the player can adjust the weight. Note that TP stands for tour preferred. These clubs are professional grade and so have more complex weight systems Taylormade R7 Quad Driver This club has two weights of two sizes, each of.

Golfer teeing off Photo Credit Design Pics/ Design Pics/ Getty Images Adding weight to the head of a golf club isn’t a new idea. For many years, golfers attached strips of lead tape to clubs to try to correct swing flaws. Club manufacturers have taken the idea a step farther in recent years, designing clubheads with ports into which you can place weights. Taylor Made’s r7 Quad series includes four weights - two heavier weights and two lighter weights - that you can rotate, depending on the type of correction you want to achieve. Place the two heavier weights in the ports nearest the clubhead’s toe - the side farthest from you when you’re in the address position - to create the maximum fade effect. Fade shots curve from the left to the right, if you’re right-handed. Create a smaller fade by setting one heavy weight on the toe side, closest to the clubface, and the other heavy weight on the heel side, closer to the back of the clubhead. Position the larger weights in the ports nearest to the heel to make the ball draw, moving from right to left. Set one heavy weight in front on the heel side and one in back on the toe side for a lesser draw effect. Create a lower ball flight by putting both larger weights in the front slots. Set the club up for a higher trajectory shot by placing the heavy weights toward the back of the clubhead. Use the torque wrench included with the r7 driver to remove and tighten all four weights.
