TaylorMade R7 HT

Has anybody tried the new R7 High Traj version (HT)?? I'm curios to see what people are saying out there? Is the sound still very loud? What about performance?

I have owned a R7 retail, R7 TP Tour and a R7 Shallow face. For me, the shallow face tour worked out so much better than the deep face models. My swing speed is around 105. A local shop had a slightly used HT come in so I demoed it against the tour shallow face. I couldn't tell any noticeable difference. In fact the retail HT was slightly longer. It does sit about 1/2 to 1 degree more closed than the tour R7. The feel, sound and ballflight was also very much like the tour shallow face. I didn't think it sounded tingy but sometimes its hard to tell when your hitting it verses you watching someone else hit.

I bought the HT, sold the tour shallow face and used the difference to buy a good 3 wood.

Hope this helps

good review thanks. I actually only looked at a couple of R7 HT's. I looked at a 9.5 and I'll tell ya, it sat perfect, unfort it was a regular shaft , not stiff, or I would have bought it . Perfectly square, compared to the regulra r7's which to me all look a little shut. I also like the shape of the head, thats one thing i didn't really like about the Reg r7, the deep face. Thanks again. btw- I didn't realize there was a R7 HT TP. I'm not surprised.

have never hit a retail r7 ht. i had been using a r7 tp shallow face until i got my 2 r5 dual tp drivers. i liked the r7 tp shallow face a lot better than the r7 tp df, i found it able to hit it high/low more easily & easier to work the ball, as far as loud, cant really say. the r7 tp shallows have never been & probably will never be release, but im sure you can find one on the net. ive only been able to hit my r5 dual tp drivers a few times & a few sessions on the launch monitor, so far, i like them a lot better than the r7's i have.
