TaylorMade r7 XD (Irons)

The r7 XD is engineered to launch the ball high, long and straight with exceptional ease, and to deliver exceptional forgiveness on mis-hits. In addition, the oversized clubhead is remarkably forgiving on mis-hits. As usual, a convergence of advanced technologies, developed by TaylorMade’s research and development department, is the key to the r7 XD’s outstanding performance.
The r7 XD employs TaylorMade’s exclusive Inverted Cone technology, known as ICT, which was pioneered in the R500 Series drivers and is still employed in TaylorMade r7 and r5 driver models, including the No. 1 driver on the PGA Tour, the r7 quad. ICT incorporates an inverted cone milled directly into the rear side of the clubface. The precise geometry of the inverted cone changes the way the clubface behaves at impact and effectively increases the size of the r7 XD’s COR zone, which is the portion of the clubface that delivers more than .760 COR.
The r7 XD irons are so easy to launch high in the air that TaylorMade engineers had to strengthen the loft of each iron in order to lower the ball flight. The result is a powerful and penetrating trajectory that delivers the optimum combination of carry, distance and control.
“The r7 XD is intended for any player seeking a forgiving iron that’s easy to launch on a high, long trajectory,” says Jose Miraflor, manager of new product creation. “For those who wonder why we call this iron the r7 when it doesn’t incorporate Movable Weight Technology, as our r7 drivers do, the answer is simple,” says Benoit Vincent, chief technical officer.
The r7 XD irons are available in S, R, M and L shaft flexes.
