ferrispgm Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 i am considering buying an r7 TP but i am not sure about what loft to buy. I currently have a ignite 410 8.5* with a pro launch 65 s. and i hit it very low. my swing speed is about 110-115. I was thinking about a 9.5, but taylormade reccomended a 10.5* what do you guys think? thank you kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchgolfnut69 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 If you hit the nike low i would go for the 10.5° TP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAGolfNut2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 One thing to consider in selecting the loft is the type ball flight you want to play most often. Then factor in the shaft you plan on playing and that shifting weight around with the TP version allows you to dynamically change the launch angle. I would suggest you talk with Joey or other knowledgable club tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I just got a 9.5 * with the Fuji six shaft and I am a low ball hitter. It is working a treat with the heavier weight at the back. Really consider the shaft you use when deciding loft. If you go with Speeder, think about 10.5*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Just curious guys. I play a R510 TP Tour 9.5 with a Fuji SIX Stiff felx and am comfortable with it. With the R7 TP prices plunging and some good contacts (that lee :smile1: ), I'm thinking of trying a R7 TP now. I'll want to stick to the SIX Stiff. What loft would be good. Some say the R7TP hit slower but I've learnt to manipulate launhc angle from adjusting tee height. Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different shafts...which probably made some of the difference...but the R510DF hit much higher... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kre8ivetl Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 I would go with what taylormade recommended. U r obviously pretty consistant because you are ferris pgm. It's what they do. I went through the same fitting at a range in highland, michigan and they recommended a 7.5 Nuetral. It was cool, launch monitor and everything. I actually had better results at a lower swing speed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tickyboy Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 I'd go 10.5....you can adjust the weights to bring the flight down a degree, (so in essence a 9.5*), but you can't change them to make it play a degree higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilton00 Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 The R7 is a very low spin head. If you don't have the swing speed or launch angle go with the 10.5*. Quit honestly I feel that the majority would be better off with more loft with the R7. You can always adjust the weights or the shaft. I have an R510 TP and a tour R7 both 10.5* and the R7 is much lower hitting than the R 510. Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yumanike Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Love my 10.5. It is much easier to go down than up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
