TaylorMade Review: r7 XD Irons

Manufacturer: TaylorMade Golf


Details: Graphite Stiff 65 gram Shaft, 3 - PW, Standard loft and lie.

Purchase: Purchased on e-bay for $675 after testing them out at several Taylor-Made demo sites. Took a little longer to get the irons with the stiff shaft, but worth the wait.

Pros: Great feel and I'm at least one club longer and straighter with every iron compared to my previous Mizuno MX-23s. Ball explodes off the face with a great trajectory. Every shot feels like a Sweet Spot shot. Best irons I've ever played. They are very easy to hit with confidence and have great playability. Grips are okay, but I'll probably change them next season. No changes necessaary so far for loft and lie.Ball flight is straight.

Cons: I'm happy with everything so far. I tried the r7 CGB irons, but they were too light for me and had a very high trajectory.

r7 XD Quality: Very good quality. Shaft looks good with club.

Summary: Try these at a Taylor-Made demo site. You'll be glad you did. Great irons for all types of players!

Game: I've been playing for 40 years, and my strengths are my driver and irons. Weaknesses are putter and sand play. Play local area courses after recently dropping out from a Country Club.
