Who has hit the R7?

Sorry to get in on this so late in the game, but my buddy had trouble getting me my demo because of the demand.

I'd had a chance to hit the R7 on a couple of different occasions and didn't really want to jump to any conclusions, but it felt forgiving and quite solid at impact. When I got the R7 last week, I was preparing for a 2-man scramble and didn't really want to make a change since I'd been playing well with the R510. My curiosity (of course) got the better of me and after a very limited session at the range, put the R7 in my bag for the tournament. My partner and I shot 68 with 6 birdies. I missed one fairway. And we won it all. So do I like it? Would you with the kind of day I had?

The MAS 7 Tour X-flex is perceptibly softer than the TM-500 Tour in the R510 and about ten grams lighter. Maybe not such a bad thing. It has a very nice kick to it, feels like 265 or so with a lively feel (A first! I like a stock shaft). I know the club is supposed to sit square at address but it definitely looked a wee bit closed to me. I like the swing weight and left the weights in the number 2 (low) position. The club had a definite draw in it, but I had no trouble hitting it straight when I wanted.

I plan a test with my buddies on the range. We've got 2 R7's and we're going to run through the weight positions and let you know what happens. My initial impressions seem to agree with yours, Chris. I don't think there's enough weight in the screws to make a big enough difference. But I cant argue with how effective it is.
