TaylorMade r7 quad HT (Drivers)

The r7 quad ht driver shares the same advanced technologies that have made TaylorMade’s r7 quad such a phenomenal success, including TaylorMade Launch Control (TLC). TLC technology gives the user the freedom to change the clubhead’s weighting to create a variety of launch conditions in a state-of-the-art titanium driver. The r7 quad ht is targeted at players who can increase their distance off the tee by increasing their spin-rate and launch angle.
The r7 quad ht clubhead is sized at 400cc – the same as the standard r7 quad – however the ht features a shallower, longer clubface and a larger, more substantial clubhead shape when viewed in the address position.
The ht’s different shape gives it a 5% increase in MOI versus the standard r7 quad, so the ht is a bit more forgiving on mis-hits. Additionally, the difference in the r7 quad ht’s head geometry results in a centre of gravity (CG) position that is 1.5 millimetres farther back and 1 millimetre lower than the r7 quad, which is a significant change. The ht’s deeper and lower CG position produces launch conditions that deliver a higher trajectory. TaylorMade testing indicates that the r7 quad ht delivers a higher launch angle and additional backspin compared to the standard r7 quad. These attributes are beneficial to players who need more spin and a higher trajectory to attain added distance.
Like the r7 quad, each of the r7 quad ht’s six CG positions also promotes changes in trajectory that can help the player to hit the ball higher or lower; and provides biases that will help low and mid handicap players to adjust their current ball flight to the right or to the left by varying degrees. A special tool, called the TLC Trajectory Wheel comes with the r7 quad ht, and is designed to clearly show the player which TLC cartridges are required and how they should be configured to promote each of six potential trajectories the r7 quad ht is designed to deliver.
The r7 quad ht comes equipped with TaylorMade’s M.A.S.2 7-55 shaft, which weighs 55 grams and which is available in TS, S, R, and M flexes. A lighter, 50-gram shaft, the M.A.S.2 7-50, is available in L flex. The r7 quad ht is available in the same loft options as the r7 quad: 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 and 11.5.
