The new r7 series gives all levels of golfers a lot of choices and I'd rate all of them good. I bought this to compare the CGB with the r7 and the r7 draw. I got the chance to hit these clubs at the local pro-shop on their driving range and just wanted to have an opportunity to use the club on the course and see how it and I performed. The CGB is a little fatter on presentation than the r7 and I much prefer the looks of the r7, especially the shaft. But the CGB is a very forgiving club, easy to hit, it goes where you aim it, reduced my slice into a nice fade. All in all it's a really nice, albeit expensive club. Turns out that the loft of the CGB's is quit different than that of the r7's. Take that into consideration when deciding which set of clubs to purchase. It seems that club manufacturers are diddling with the lofts they use. Each set of clubs in their line may be slightly different.Read full review
I bought the Taylor Made r7 cgb Max Approach Wedge to help improve my game. The various distances for my wedge play had a "gap" between the pitching wedge and the sand wedge. This new Approach wedge gives me the distance I needed between the other two. For me, the Approach wedge is perfect for the 100 - 110 yard shots. I chose the Taylor Made r7 cgb Max to match my other irons. All the irons in my bag are also the Taylor Made r7 cgb Max irons. All of my irons, including this new Approach wedge have the stock graphite shaft, in stiff flex. Most individual wedges by Taylor Made and other manufacturers have steel shafts. I really prefer the lighter weight shaft made of graphite for all my clubs. That helped me decide to get this wedge as well as the other wedges in my bag. These are the best irons I have ever played. From the 3 iron all the way through the set, including the lob wedge, have helped to improve my iron game. My distance control as well as straighter shots to the target has certainly gotten better with these new irons. I would recommend to anyone looking to improve their iron game to try the Taylor Made r7 cgb Max irons. If you prefer steel shafts instead of graphite, that is available.Read full review
just feel lucky that I found this club on ebay. feel stupid that I lost this club on some golf course. If anyone is looking for a club that is playable, comfortable that is in a 8-12 handicap range, this is the club. too bad they don't make this series any longer. I bought this set 4 years ago and have no desire to look at "the new and improved taylor made clubs". But as always I'm sure Taylor Made make great clubs. while looking for a replacement for my recently lost 9 iron, i was at one of the local golf stores. the salesman asked what series I had and promptly upon hearing r7 cgb, he quickly went into the sales mode and suggested that I update my clubs. This was quickly addressed by me stating, "I hit this club longer and straighter every year, why would I change clubs at this point". I currently hit a 9 iron 140-155 yards. Great clubs, glad someone out there has these clubs for folks like me who have periodic dementia episodes and lose clubs.Read full review
I am in the process of purchasing a new set of irons and having the ability to purchase just one and try it was appealing to me. I do know that Taylormade has even a newer version in the works, but this was the one set that I wanted to try. Pro shops have demo clubs, but you never get a chance to place it in your bag and use it for a long time. this club was awesome. Although the specs are not exactly correct for me, it is long and very easy to hit. I have had some problems getting enough height on my current irons, but no problem here. It is a great club for the mid handicap golfer!
I wanted to test this iron with my normal routine playing and to see if it truely made a difference. I think testing the irons is the best way to check performance. I do this so I do not buy the whole set ans get disappointed. I had the same irons for the last 4 years great irons not the same brand but great irons. I used the same irons on the same shots and time after time I was getting another 20 yards out of this r7 cgb Max. I am now looking to get the whole set and play them. These are great irons.
