Timeless tradition meets modern technolgy in new mini driver
TAYLORMADE Golf have introduced their all-new R7 Quad Mini driver.
Inspired by one of the most popular drivers in the company’s history, the R7 (and R7 SuperQuad), the R7 Quad Mini driver pays homage to what’s come before, while creating its own modern identity in the same breath.
“The R7 Quad Mini driver is one of those projects that got everyone excited from the initial concept, and being able to bring back one of the most iconic clubs in TaylorMade history – the R7 driver – was a dream come true,” said TaylorMade product manager Product Creation Chandler Carr.
“We couldn’t be more excited to continue setting the pace in the mini driver category.
“We recognised the popularity of mini drivers both on the PGA Tour and for amateurs and wanted to further push the envelope of what’s possible in terms of both tech and performance,” added Carr.
“To do so, we looked back on what’s worked in the past and found inspiration from the R7 driver.”
Released in 2004, the R7 was one of the most popular drivers in the game and captured over 30 wins worldwide, including the 2004 US Open.
The R7 driver was also the first driver to incorporate TaylorMade’s Movable Weight Technology, which influenced the way the industry thought about adjustability.
The R7 Quad Mini driver incorporates that same technology, allowing golfers to dial in spin, distance, trajectory and shot shape with precise centre of gravity (CG) placement.
The Quad Weighting System includes two 13g and two 4g weights with two ports at the back of the clubhead, and one each on the toe and heel.
“By moving weight and CG towards the front of the club, golfers experience a penetrating ball flight that’s ideal for maximising distance,” said Carr.
“Conversely, golfers find enhanced control and ease of use from the deck by placing more weight in the back of the club and moving the CG in that direction.”
“Additional weights can also be purchased for an even greater range of adjustability. A key element in designing the R7 Quad Mini driver was minimising mass in the top of the head.
“The incorporation of a satin Infinity Carbon Crown allowed our engineers to not only save weight but relocate it to other parts of the head where it’s used more efficiently,” added Carr.
“Visually, the Infinity Carbon Crown presents a clean, elegant profile that inspires confidence in the playing position.”
The R7 Quad Mini driver is available in 11.5° and 13.5° lofts. The lie angle is 57°, the head measures 305cc and the length is 43.75 inches.
