xxio Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Any one hit this driver? Like to know if its worth the money It's a very very good driver. Unfortunately non-conforming. That means even if you are outside the USGA territory you only have 10 more months before it becomes non-conforming to you as well. Prices are going down now on these. Slightly used ones go for about $350 now here in Asia. BTW only two moveable weights and the one I used for a round yesterday was dead square as well.

xxio Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 xxioHow is this driver compare to the USA R7 as in forgiveness and distance? I only demoed the XR R7 for 18 holes and it had the stock "SR" stiff-regular shaft. The R7 I have is a TP with the stock TP graphics Diamana 73Stiff. The XR is definitely easier to hit longer and straighter than my R7TP. I was losing it a little right which is my miss when a shaft is soft for me. The stock SR was a surprisingly good shaft. Played towards the regular flex side but the guy I was playing with around 92-95SS (his claim, which I think is accurate) was hitting it straight and definitely longer than his R5 N. Comparing to a Non TP R7 max that I owned for about 2 weeks. The XRR7 also spun less and had a flatter trajectory than the R7 (nonTP) that I tried with a 2-10-10-2 setting. The XRR7 also feels better but sounds almost as loud. Surprisingly the XR R7 that I tried was not as Game Improvement (closed face, soft shaft, etc.) as I expected. Very similar to the XR03 which preferred the mid handicapper versus the XR05 which seemed to gearted towards the higher handicap. Why don't I play it? Because it will be non-conforming in 10months. Granted I don't keep a driver that long I don't want to get used to it like I did my R300 Tour/757 which still has been the best driver I have used in the past 4 years. If you have anymore questions don't hesitate to ask. I have played a ton of TM drivers in the past 5 years Tour and retail. Even though I don't like their marketing philosophy. Their drivers just seem to suit my eye the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
