TaylorMade Golf has introduced the r7 425, an addition to the r7 family of drivers that includes the original r7 quad, the r7 quad TP and the r7 quad ht. Like those drivers, the 425 employs TaylorMade’s revolutionary Movable Weight technology.
The r7 425 features 28 grams of movable weight divided between two widely spaced TaylorMade Launch Control (TLC) ports, allowing for a lateral shift in CG position of up to 5 millimetres. Robot testing indicates that the 425 delivers a lateral trajectory change of up to 13 yards when the TLC cartridges are configured to promote the maximum amount of either draw or fade. Likewise, players can configure the TLC cartridges to increase or decrease their spin-rate to promote changes in the height of their tee shots, either higher or lower. After a trajectory is chosen, the 425 makes it easier to achieve that trajectory over and over, thanks in part to the club’s exceptionally high MOI and its large 425cc head.
Compared to the original r7 quad, the 425 promotes a wider change in trajectory in terms of both height and lateral movement; it’s more forgiving; and visually encourages greater confidence.
The r7 425 incorporates four TLC ports, and includes four TLC cartridges: two 2-gram and two 12-gram. By inserting the cartridges into the TLC ports in different configurations, players can change the CG location to promote a broad range of launch conditions.
Compared to the r7 quad, the r7 425 is set up to promote a higher trajectory when the cartridges are configured to deliver a high and neutral ball flight. And because the 425’s TLC ports are spaced wider apart, it promotes significantly more draw when the cartridges are configured to promote more draw, and slightly more draw when the cartridges are configured to promote a draw.
The r7 425 is available in 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5° and 11.5° lofts, and in X, S and R shaft flexes.
