Specifically weighted to promote straighter drives for most players, the r7 Draw Driver combines Taylormade's Draw-Weighted technology with the latest materials and construction techniques to let you take the right side out of play.

TaylorMade continues its long-running standard of excellence with the men's r7 Draw 460 driver. The driver is distinguished by the company's Draw-Weighted Technology, which concentrates the weight in the back heel area, thereby encouraging a faster clubface rotation through impact to promote a right-to-left ball flight. The r7 Draw is specifically designed for players who need as much help as they can get to hit the ball straighter, higher, and longer, particularly players looking to gain extra distance by turning their chronic fades into a draw. The driver also accommodates golfers who want to set themselves up with shorter approach shots by turning a severe banana ball into a manageable fade. The Draw-Weighted Technology works by moving the clubhead's CG closer to the shaft. This speeds the rotation of the clubhead during the forward swing in the same way that a spinning figure skater speeds the rotation of her body by pulling her arms inward. As a result, the golfer has an easier time squaring the clubface at impact, thereby imparting either a draw spin or reduced slice spin.
The r7 Draw also employs TaylorMade's renowned Inverted Cone Technology (ICT), which increases the size of the COR zone--the portion of the clubface that delivers consistently higher ball velocity and greater average distance. The extra-large 460cc clubhead, meanwhile, offers an extremely high Moment of Inertia (MOI) that guarantees tremendous forgiveness and long, straight drives even on off-center hits. Finally, the r7 Draw includes a 55-gram RE*AX soft-tipped graphite shaft that feels great and promotes a high launch angle. The driver is backed by a two-year

This is the best $200 I have ever spent on my golf game! I have struggled with slicing my driver for years. I was a bit skeptical about the claims made for the Draw 460 Ti Driver, but after hitting a few dozen balls I am, completely, sold on this driver. My slices and fades, almost instantly, turned into "straight as an arrow" drives... with some some shots actually shaping into powerful draws. I hit some the longest, straightest drives of my life the very first time out with this driver. If you are frustrated with a slice off the tee... give this club a try. I just can't say enough good things about his club!
