Posted June 9, 200420 yr Well I just got the word today, my TM R7 TP (8.5) will ship on July 15th :love: . Once it arrives I'll pull the Speeder Shaft and put a GD CP-02 on it and give everybody a full report. That's if my Wife hasn't cut my balls off and shipped the back to TaylorMade along with the R7! :mad:
June 10, 200420 yr Author I have to be honest with you, I never even asked. I just told Ken (my TM Corp connection) to get me a 8.5 R7 TP and to ship it overnight as soon as its' ready to go. I have a little Golf Trip scheduled on July 19th and I wanted the R7 in my hands by then. I'll ask Ken tomorrow, and post the price. But if you run the cost through my "Wife Price Conversion" program the cost comes out to $299.99 :laugh:

June 10, 200420 yr If you dont mind high C.O.R drivers, from what I here the TP will be coming with 3 different Fuji options, and Graphite Design options with TM paint Jobs. A bunch more shafts available on this side of the pond but it will be more expensive. Im not 100% sure if they will be high C.O.R also.
June 10, 200420 yr Heard the Japan version shaft options kick butt. Will have to wait and see what we get here, though. Even if we get Japan market clubs, not everything makes it over here. Good one about the "Wife price conversion"! :cool:
June 10, 200420 yr Great to see a fella from Minnesota on here. Im a few hours south west of you in Willmar. Do you know Dave (spelling)Karpik? I think everyone in Eveleth knows him. lol Fast Snowmobiles? Please Give me a shout at [email protected] when you get a chance Thanks, Grant
June 10, 200420 yr I heard that TM will have them ready to ship July 1st. Some of the favored accounts will get their orders a few days into July. Release date is the 15th, but if you're lucky you'll see them a few days sooner. Chris
June 10, 200420 yr Played with my club pro today, he told me that he'll get his R7 TP sometime in 1st half of July for himself and it won't cost him anything. Damn lucky m.f'er. He told me that wholesale price on the R7 TP will be close to $600 while the retail R7 almost half of that. I wasn't going to buy a R7 but I was warming up today along with 2 golfers that has R7 8.5* & 9.5* so they asked me to hit them. So I like them so much that I bought a R7 9.5* from my club pro for a good price about 5 minutes before my tee time this afternoon. I actually played very well today with the R7 getting me in the short grass on almost every hole. But I don't know if I want to plunk down that much for a retail R7 TP driver.
June 10, 200420 yr So, when is it out in Japan? I thought they would be a bit quicker than the North American market, seeing as the R7 Quad itself was released about a month or two earlier in Japan. I'd like to see what kind of headcover it'll have as well. Seems like quite a task improving on the existing R7 headcover! :cool:
