Golf Club Review

I have been out and about in a new shopping center not far from where I live today and they have a golf shop there that is a small independently owned place. On this discovery my wife decided that she could leave me in the cresh (or the newly discovered golf shop as it is more commonly known) and go off to look for what we actually went there for. This was my first chance to get my hands on the new 2008 Taylormade R7 CBG Max Irons.

For a little outfit this shop is very well equipped, they have a golf simulator and as it was rather early and not busy the shop assistant asked me if I would like to try the clubs over a few holes on the simulator. So off I went clubs taped up so as not to mark them. Now my Mum always told me that if its heavy put it down because its probably expensive. Well yes they are expensive and yes they are a little heavier than what I am used to in my own clubs.

The sales bumph is below:

TaylorMade r7 CGB Max 2008 Irons - RH Steel The TaylorMade r7 CGB Max Irons have maximum technology for maximum speed, distance, forgiveness, and accuracy. Large, thin, high-strength steel clubface promotes high COR for faster ball speed and increased distance Extra-large clubhead with tungsten weights increases MOI for greater stability and forgiveness SuperFast Technology reduces total club weight and promotes faster swing speed for added distance Inverted Cone Technology expands the high COR zone to promote higher ball speed on off-center hits for more distance shot to shot Hollow topline allows CG to be moved back deep in the clubhead for incredibly easy launch on a towering, distance-enhancing flight

So are they any good? YES are they worth the money? Well I have a real issue with clubs that come in over $1000 and as you will see by clicking the link above they are over that mark at a massive $1099.95, I just do not see that any clubs are worth that money.

The oversized head does give a good control, using them with varied club speeds, in the simulator, it is harder to see the flight and landing of the ball obviously but the feel of the club and the straight strike was very pleasant and would have suited any golfer.

Personally I wouldn’t buy the Taylormade R7 CGB Max Irons as I still think they are overpriced and that clubs should be affordable to all levels of golfers. So Taylormade Great set of clubs but work on your prices, maybe if you take the imprint of your name off the hosel of the club it would bring the price down. Are they that good, not for that price in my view.
