TaylorMade Golf has launched the R7 Quad Mini Driver, a modern take on the popular R7 driver from 2004. The new Mini Driver pays homage to the past while incorporating the latest technology and design innovations. With inspiration from the R7 driver, which captured over 30 wins worldwide, the R7 Quad Mini Driver features adjustability through TaylorMade’s Movable Weight Technology. This allows golfers to customize spin, distance, trajectory, and shot shape with precise CG placement using the Quad Weighting System. The club also includes Twist Face™ and Speed Pocket™ technologies for increased playability and versatility.
The R7 Quad Mini Driver’s design focuses on minimizing weight in the top of the head with an Infinity Carbon Crown, allowing engineers to relocate weight to other parts of the head for optimal performance. The club’s head features a sleek black finish with white, red, and yellow accents reminiscent of the original R7 era. The stock Fujikura Speeder MD shaft is specifically designed to keep spin rates low while maintaining stability without added weight.
