TaylorMade r7 460

Sole View

TaylorMade Golf Company has introduced a third new addition to its r7 driver family, the r7 460. The largest of the r7’s, the r7 460 measures 460cc, the largest volume allowed by the USGA. This exceptionally large head helps to make it extraordinarily forgiving and extraordinarily easy to launch. Like all other members of TaylorMade’s r7 driver family, the 460 features Movable Weight Technology, which gives players the power to change the center of gravity (CG) in order to promote different types of launch conditions and trajectories.

The r7 460 is engineered with two TaylorMade Launch Control (TLC) ports and includes two movable TLC cartridges, a 14-gram and a 2-gram. While the 460’s internal weighting characteristics give it a distinct draw bias, configuring the cartridges so that the 14-gram is in the toe port and the 2-gram is in the heel port shifts the CG toward the toe, counteracting the 460’s inherent draw tendencies to promote a straight, or neutral, trajectory.

Conversely, installing the 2-gram cartridge in the toe port and the 14-gram in the heel port shifts the CG toward the heel, which supplements the 460’s internal draw tendencies, promoting a large draw. Robot testing indicates that the draw bias created by the 2-gram/toe and 14-gram/heel configuration promotes 15 yards from right to left for most players compared to the 14-gram/toe and 2-gram/heel configuration.

The r7 460 comes equipped with the new TaylorMade RE*AX shaft, which features a special new technology developed by Fujikura, maker of the No. 1 shaft on the PGA Tour.

The r7 460 features the highest MOI and is the most forgiving driver that TaylorMade has ever offered. It delivers an MOI that’s 12% higher than the original r7 quad, while the 460’s generous, 460cc volume is 15% larger than the original r7 quad. The r7 460 will be available in 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 and 11.5 degree lofts, and in X, S, R and M shaft flexes.
