Rac CGB Iron Set (4-PW) with Steel Shaft:

For players seeking power launches, outstanding feel and soaring distance, introduces its brand-new rac CGB ( Center of Gravity Back ) irons. engineers designed these irons with a pull-face constructed out of next-generation custom milled 455 stainless steel for an exceptionally thin club face and improved center of gravity.

To further promote a superb center of gravity, a center of gravity back centralizes the weight further back for easy, powerful launches. Renowned rac technology channels impact technology to all the right areas of the clubhead for a solid feel. For greater distance in the long irons and enhanced control and feel in the short ones, rac CGB irons feature ascending-mass graphite and steel shafts, making the long irons lightweight and the shorter irons heavier.

The rac irons Many irons feel harsh and unpleasant at impact as a result of unmanaged vibration. Through diligent study, engineers developed a solution called rac (relative amplitude coefficient), a technology with the ability to manage impact vibration to dramatically improve feel. How dramatic is the difference in feel delivered by rac technology?

Sergio Garcia felt it and put rac irons in his bag. Among the dozens of other tour pros who ve also made the switch are 2004 US Open champion Retief Goosen, Darren Clarke, and Hale Irwin.

r7 Quad TP 425 Driver:

While the r7 425cc Quad TP driver still features the ultimate in ball flight customization with four weight ports and four removable weight cartridges, the larger size also promotes exceptional forgiveness for longer, straighter shots — even on off-center hits.

A slightly closed clubface alignment is pleasing to the eyes, further increasing confidence and accuracy. This ultra-playable design comes with a RE*AX shaft with Fujikura Biax technology. This Tour-quality graphite design reduces ovaling in the mid-section, allowing the tip to remain flexible to provide maximum stability, consistency and added clubhead speed. Wrench included. A large 425 cc clubhead creates an exceptionally high MOI for forgiveness and long, straight results on off-center hits.

The RE*AX shaft featuring Fujikura Biax technology reduces ovaling in the mid-section and allows the tip to remain flexible for more stability and consistency and added clubhead speed. Ultra-Thin Wall technology promotes extremely thin, yet strong clubhead walls. This allows over 40 grams of weight to be saved, which is then used to create TLC.

TLC technology with four ports and four movable cartridges allows you to change your launch conditions for longer, straighter drives.Movable Weight Technology includes 98 grams of movable weight to choose from: two 2-gram, one 4-gram, two 6-gram, two 8-gram, one 10-gram, two 12-gram and two 14-gram cartridges.

This makes it possible to choose from nine swing weights and 1,230 sets of launch conditions, allowing you to customize your launch condition for straighter and longer drives. Widely spaced TLC ports allow broad CG movement toward the toe or heel. Machine testing indicates shot-shape movement of 11 to 13 yards.

Pull-Face construction permits a light, thin, strong clubface for a high COR that promotes fast ball speed for increased distance.Inverted Cone Technology dramatically expands the portion of the clubface that delivers high COR for consistently longer drives. 1° open clubface alignment is attractive, promoting increased confidence and accuracy.

The Taylor Made R7 Draw Driver – Hit a Draw Hit it Farther

Taylor Made Drivers are popular among many different types of golfers from all different skill levels. The Taylor Made r7 Draw Driver is designed to help get rid of slice and add distance to your drive. The way Taylor Made did this was by using a combination of heel weighting and a closed face. By making an open area in the toe of the club and moving the weight to the heel, the center of gravity is closer to the shaft. This “Draw-Weighted Technology” speeds the closing of the clubface while in the downswing. Since slicing is caused by leaving the clubface open, it is reduced because the clubface is more closed.

The Taylor Made r7 Draw Driver has one of the highest moments of inertia of any Taylor Made Driver. Higher MOI allows for more forgiveness in your drive, because the less off-center impact there is, the straighter the ball will go. The r7 Draw’s Clubface also has a higher coefficient of restitution due to Taylor Made’s Inverted Cone Technology. This means that your ball velocity will be faster and your drives will be longer.

The club has a nice, cool look to it. The club’s crown is black with a small “T” as an alignment aid. Most of the outer sole is black except for a yellow stripe that runs down the lower edge. The middle of the sole is a gray/silver color and has a big “r7 DRAW” on it. The club weighs very little and feels light compared to some other drivers.

The Taylor Made r7 Draw Driver comes standard with a Taylor Made TGT grip. The RE*AX 55-gram soft-tipped graphite shaft made by Mitsubishi Rayon of the Taylor Made R7 Draw Driver is designed for a high-launch angle, creating better right-to-left ball flight and comes in stiff, regular, and senior shaft flexes. The club is 45 inches long and comes in 9.0 and 10.5 degree lofts for men who are both right and left-handed golfers. The club has a 10.5 degree loft and is 44 inches long for women.

The Taylor Made r7 Draw Driver is a great driver worth every cent of its price. It will help you improve your slice and drive your ball farther while looking great. It does the job just as good or better than the other high-end drivers on the market do.

Taylormade R9

The last four or five years have seen Taylormade really establish their dominance when it comes having the best performed drivers on the Pro tours. This has most definitely translated across to sales for the manufacturer with the current model, the R7 being one of the most popular drivers in the bag of amateur golfers.

The key to this popularity has been the ability to customise the driver to suit your individual swing by adjusting the weighting of the club head. This gave golfers the ability to minimise problems they may have been experiencing with a slice or a hook.

Well Taylormade have taken that to a whole new level with the launch of the new model of their flagship range of drivers, the Taylormade R9.

Custom Options Galore – 24 Clubs In One!!!

When the R7 was launched in 2004 golfers were amazed that they had the ability to adjust their ball flight by up to ten yards left or right. Well the new Taylormade R9 has developed that further to the point where you can alter the ball flight left or right by up to 75 yards.

Then if that wasn’t enough you are able to adjust both the lie and the loft of the club head – all these variable in total give you 24 different set up options for you driver. In other words you get 24 different drivers all wrapped up in one attractive looking piece of equipment.

If all this sounds a little confusing don’t worry, help is at hand. Check out the follwing link to get access to some of the best independent Taylormade R9 reviews on the web as well as some videos that give you a better idea of how it all works.

Thin Faces And Drivers – What About Your Irons?

Thin Faces And Drivers – What About Your Irons?

The Driver gets the most publicity of all the golf clubs in your bag. Working on the theory that “distance sells”, all we hear about now is CoR ratings and hot faces intended to help you get the extra 10 or 15 yards.

But what about your Irons? Don’t they have ‘hot faces’ that can be measured? Can they be engineered so that your 7-iron flies 10 yards further? If a Driver has a limit of .830 Coefficient of Restitution then what’s the limit with Irons?

Actually the limit is the same but no manufacturers have attempted to get anywhere near it. Some manufacturers have however invested in the technology to deliver incredibly thin faces that will help provide a ’spring like effect’ or ‘hot face’. Nike should get some credit for pushing the limits of thinner faces with their Slingshot Irons. The TaylorMade r7 CGB Max and r7 XD are examples where these innovations have been applied and taken a step further

However, what’s most interesting is not the extra distance that these innovations might allow, but what is done with the weight that is saved from the face. This year’s releases of irons are saving in the order of 10 – 20 grams in the face that can now be repositioned elsewhere. That means still lower and deeper Centre of Gravity and more weight around the perimeter. And that’s good news for us. Easier to hit golf clubs.

Nike were one of the first manufacturers to set out to create a ‘Centre of Gravity’ that was technically in the ‘air’ behind the club face. To do this they created a club face that is ‘thinner’, lighter and incredibly consistent in construction, resulting in 20 grams that could be replaced elsewhere in the club head.

Taylor Made Products Review

First up is the new Taylor Made Rossa Imosa 8 putter with ASGI+ insert. This putter is one of the best I have ever used and I say that with confidence. It has a really classic blade type of design, and has a charcoal – black finish – very easy on the eyes. The ASGI+ (Anti Skid Groove Insert) System is as innovative as it comes with putters.

The design is meant to reduce skidding off the putter face, leading to a better speed and line. What’s that mean. More made putts! How does it do this? The ASGI+ insert has 14 independent and unique grooves that are designed to drive the ball forward and reduce backspin, effectively increasing the true rolling of the ball. I have tested this against three other popular putters, two made by Ping and one made by Odyssey, two putting giants if you’ve kept up through the years. I can say from personal experience that the Taylor Made Rossa Imosa 8 is by far the best of the three at not only keeping the ball on line, but also being forgiving if you happen to mis hit a putt.

At $110, this would be a steal to add to your bag.

Next up are the Taylor Made r7 TP irons. The 2007 Golf Digest Hot List Editor’s Choice, these clubs are aimed at single digit handicappers desiring a high performing club with a mix of characteristics between a blade and a cavity back iron.

Taylor Made does a great job at mixing these two highly sought after characteristics. The tour configured sole design glides across the grass, avoiding harmful digging into the turf. This leads to straighter shots and less tension on the hands and wrists, and joints in general.

The impact is pristine with these clubs, with sweet spot contact sending an incredibly solid feel to your hands. If you’ve ever played an iron with a less than solid feel, you know how valuable pure contact is. Off center hits seem to keep their distance relatively well for a club aimed at this skill level. You may lose 5-8 yards depending on the severity of the mis hit, but again, for a club that has a blade type design, that is incredible. The workability of blade is still there. I was able to hit fades and draws very easily on cue with these clubs. At $799, you’ll find these to be cheaper than any other set in it’s category; no question the best value out right now for the low handicapper.

Taylor Made is quickly becoming not only a driver company, but an iron company, a wedge company, a ball company, and in all just an awesome golf company in general.

These r7 TPs had Project X Rifle shafts in them so we’re going to check those out as well. The ball gets up quickly with these shafts and flattens out at the apex. There’s a nice mid trajectory throughout the ball flight. Even though the ball gets up fast, these shafts have an overall lower trajectory than most I’ve hit. Sometimes with a cheaper shaft, you’ll get a ballooning effect, but I noticed no ballooning at all on these, even when trying to hit high fades.

The smooth non-tapered design claims more energy to the ball. I have to say I really didn’t see any increase in distance compared to any other shaft, but I did notice a good difference in spin control. The ball flight has a green holding ability like no other. In my opinion, this is one of the most advanced iron shafts ever conceived. They’ve got a higher price tag than most you’ll run across, but it’s well worth the cost for the performance difference you’ll notice.

I always say, if you’re going to make the investment to buy new clubs, you may as well save up and spend your money on something that is going to benefit you the most, and last you a long time. Don’t cheap on out shafts. They can make or break a club head.

That’s all for now. I hope to demo the new Burner driver and a few other new iron sets. I would love to get my hands on a Burner driver equipped with a Grafalloy Epic shaft. What a combo that would be!
