Who has hit the R7?

[MGB]

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.
