;ukliam2TaylorMade-adidas Golf will bring its R7 Quad driver to the U.S. market in the late spring/early summer time period, TMaG President Mark King told PGA.com. King said the R7 Quad, which TMaG debuted at the recent Japan Golf Fair, will carry a price in the $499 range, around $100 more than the company’s current R580XD Series. "It’s really not going to be a replacement product, it’s going to be an additional technology at a higher price,’’ King said. The 400cc R7 Quad features what TMaG is calling its TaylorMade Launch Control (TLC) system that has four adjustable screws that help change the driver’s center of gravity in order to change launch angle and spin rate. Based on weight placement of the screws, players will have up to six variations to dial in their correct driver specs. "It’s what golfers really need if they’re going to maximize their distance and dial in launch conditions,’’ King said. "I think there are some skeptics that say, ‘Does it really work?’ I can tell you that (after) seeing the response of the Tour players in January and February, there won’t be a skeptic left after they try it and experience it. It’s really quite unbelievable.’’ King said TMaG will begin seeding the R7 Quad driver within the next two weeks on the PGA Tour and the club will be completely seeded by the Masters in April. ;ukliam2

Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2004 9:01 am That quote was from MGB who was the first to break the news on the R7 Quad back in Dec. '03. I was looking for his Jan'04 thread titled "Just Saw The R7...pics of it anyway" but it mysteriously disappeared somehow. In this thread, he attended the Adidas Dealers Conference where a TM Rep showed him pics of both a Tour and Retail model R7 Quad. He basically said the same exact thing mentioned in the quote above which was taken from NikeMike's Jan. 30 '04 thread titled, "Someone Has Taken TaylorMade's Thunder." He also mentioned that the Tour R7 Quad looked smaller than the Retail version in the pictures, about the same cc's as an R500. If he's right about a second version of the R7 Quad having two screws located in the rear of the sole, this will give give both the Tour players and the average golfer a solid alternative. Most of the criticism has come from the R7 Quad being to gimmicky and looking to extreme with the four weight screws. However, the two weight screw version will appeal to those who have grown accustomed to the simple R500 Series weight port located in the rear. Since the R500 series weight ports aren't available to the public unless you have a TM Tour Van contact, the R7 comes with differently weighted screws so that you can configure it according to your desired ball flight and are beneficial to get the head weight up or down after reshafting which almost everyone on this forum will likely do. The heaviest R500 series weight port I've seen is 16g and I'm wondering how heavy TM will go with the R7 Quad screws. All in all, I see the two weight screw R7 Quad as a suped up R510 TP with the addition of 10cc's and the ability to tweak the weight screws in the rear of the sole. Maybe even a suped up smaller cc predessor of the R500 according to MGB. Hope MGB chimes in soon on this topic and I remember in that lost thread he said he was going to the Japan Golf fair with his team and would take a large amount of pictures and report anyhing new on the R7 Quad.

TourSpecGolfer, were you able to hit some balls with the R7? If so how does it compare to the R510 TP's feel and sound at impact. What color is the stock shaft and does it have any cool graphics on it? Also, is it equipped with a newly styled TM R7 grip or just the regular one...
