All my friends want to borrow this !
from Clinton, MA on 8/8/2008
Just used this club for the first time today and wow was it different from my other driver. i have been playing for two months and when i hit my other driver i would have a huge slice, which would get me into trouble on the course. but, on the driving range today not one of my drives had a slice and the went further than i was hitting them before. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that has a slice with their driver.

Straightened me out well. I was never a big slicer, but did pull to a little to the right. Just enough that I would be complimented for my fade, when in reality, it was a slice. This driver but me on the straight and narrow. Great driver, I want to give the Burner draw a try soon. I've used my wife's fti with a draw setup, and liked the way that handled, but was never a fan of Calaway drivers. SO I tried out this one when it went on sale, and love it. I'm putting my quad in my closet and giving this a permanent spot in my bag. I've considering picking up another in case this ever gets discontinued.
One of My favorite purchases. I bought a cheap set and the driver stunk. I bought this and will keep it for life.
the perfect club off the tee
WOW. That's all I have to say. I never write reviews for products, but I felt the need this time. I started playing golf about 8 years ago in high school. I recently decided to do my first full set upgrade (my first set was a set of hand me downs). Clubs do make a difference. I feel so confident off the tee with this club. I hit it straight and 230+ almost every time. This is a great club for someone with a lower club speed. I cannot say enough good things about it. Usually at the range I can hear a laugh or two. First time out with this, four different people asked me to HELP THEM with their swing!!! Bravo Taylormade.
I always used to slice my driver and really any wood in my bag but not any more. The TM r7 draw is amzing i hit it perfectly straight and so long. I hit my first 300 yards driver with this club. If you have a slice problem but this driver it really helps!
It is a great product i bought it 1 week ago and i out drived my brother who is 21
Just awesome. You hit it and it will soar. Great control
I have played two rounds with this driver and the first round was not pretty but most of that was me not swinging very well. 2nd round was much better but even when I hit it on the screws I found my distance was no where near a Titleist 983K it at least 20 to 30 yards longer. I bought this club while I was getting the Titleist reshafted. My R7 is a 10.5 and my Titleist is 9.5 so I understand why my distance is kicked down but I did think it would be that significant. I will use this driver when on a shorter course and tight so that I can hit more fairways. I also feel like I could actually shape some shots with this driver. If I need a big tee shot though I will stick with my Titleist.

This driver is greaat for accuracy. I usually shoot around 75 sometimes high 70's and i draw the ball. I was nervous getting this driver because i thought that the draw could turn into a hook but it didnt. I gained a little distance, maybe 5 or 10 yards, but i never slice or fade the ball when i don't want to anymore.
I've had that little tail on my drives ever since I started playing. Who knows why? All of a sudden, it's gone. kapput. syonara. This club has done exactly what it's advertised to do. It's nice actually hitting a second shot from the fairway instead of next to the out-of-bounds marker. Best club I ever bought.

First of all it is not a cure for a slice, with that said it helps hugely. Normally I'll hit the fairway 4 out 10 times everything else is a horrible slice in the woods. With this club I hit 7 out of 10 fairways maybe 8. And the ones that went right were just off the fairway. I used to judge my tee shot as good if I can find it. Now its good when hit the fairway and its always good enough to find which is nice.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I havent brought it onto the course yet but in the simulator at D's Sporting Goods i was slicing with the new MaxFli driver and as soon as I switched to the R7 I started hitting balls straight down the fairway. If your looking for a club to straighten your slice out, this is perfect.
from roonkonkoma, ny on 5/30/2008
it added a bunch of yards to my drive but it took me a while to get used to
I added about 10 yards to my average drive but saw no improvement whatsoever in changing a fade or slice into a draw. The draw bias of this driver is simply not apparent after multiple buckets of balls and several rounds on the course. I don't think its worth the money, even at the reduced price.

best peice of golf equipment i have ever bought, and best club i have ever played with
from Atlantic City, NJ on 5/27/2008
My slice may not be completely gone, but I was in the fairway 9 out of 14 times & was only in the woods once. I perfer the stiff flex.

I bought the R7 Draw Driver last month, have played twice and I am driving farther and straighter than ever. Next investment will be R7 fairway woods and irons. Recommended the R7 to a buddy, who is also satified with this driver.

I never thought that the word "draw" would make that much of a difference. It does! After dealing with a slice off the tee for longer than I care to admit I purchased the R7 Draw. The accuracy that I am hitting with it is everthing I had hoped for. Just hit one and judge for yourself.
from Florence, SC on 5/23/2008
Just picked up this club to replace my Acuity driver that came in a set. I've only been playing about a month and had no idea how much difference a club could make. I bought the club yesterday and played my first round with it today. Added about 30 - 40 yards to my drive and kept it straight off the tee almost every time. I would say when it didn't it was more user error than the club. This is a great club whether you are a noob like me or a seasoned player.
I love this driver. I feel so confident when I step up to the tee with it in my hands. You dont have to hit the sweetspot with it. IF you hit it with off the toe or the heel it still goes far and straight. At the beginning of this season I was having trouble hitting my driver. But when I picked this up I got my drives going 250-270 almost every time. The bottom line is that I love this driver, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Yes, I realize that it takes more than a club that says "draw" on it to take away my slice. However, this club added absolutely nothing to the slice issue, at least for me. I did find the TaylorMade Burner Draw to be extremely helpful!
I bought this club a couple days ago and took it straight to the range to hit with. all I can say is wow. I never knew equiptment could make that big of a difference. this club really does cure the slice. I used to hit anywhere from straight to a wicked slice, just because I had trouble getting the club face around. the weighting of this driver is a little weird at first, but once you get used to it this club will make you hit the ball square. my drive is now much more consistant and has probably gained 10-20 yards. for the price this club is amazing.
Great club, especially that the price has come way down. It really did cure my fade/slice. If you hit it right, this is the club for you!
from Greenwood, IN on 5/4/2008
This club may have added 5 yards, but it was 5 yards. The best deal with this club is that they go straight down the center with a little fade. Out of 60 balls not one slice. It may not be the answer to a person that slices 100% of the time, but it is well worth a try, before out of 60 balls 35 would be far right. I switched from a Cleveland Launcher.

Huge sweet spot and extra forgiving. If you slice or fade the ball this club is for you.
from Atlanta, GA on 4/30/2008
I just bought this driver earlier today and used it this afternoon. I realize that it has only been one round, but I did not fade the ball one time during the entire round. Every tee shot was either straight or just left of center, and longer than my previous driver. Feel and sound is great. Can't wait to hit it again.
My golf partner just bought this club. Told me to try it. Finally, I thought, why not? I hit a Big Bertha, but hard to tell where it will end up. This Taylor right hand draw was boom, boom, boom. After three holes, I started making trade offers to my partner. My final offer was my Big Bertha, my Odyssey putter, and $20. No deal says my partner. John, he says, they are only [$]. Just go get your own. And I did. Beautiful club. Added 15 yards to my drive. I am now in the fairway everytime. The balance and feel is just awesome. I just get up there, take a nice easy swing, and away she goes.....

from Youngstown, Ohio on 4/25/2008
Age 65, big banna slicer for years. Club with built in draw, made drives go straight. Hit over
50 golf balls and 95% went straight and the other 5% had a gently fade. Hope to improve my 14 handicap.
I purchased a set of the r7 Draw Irons, and they made a huge difference in terms of accuracy and distance, so I decided to give the driver a try. I couldn't be happier. Normally I had a slight fade to a power fade, but with this club almost every hit goes dead straight or with a slight draw. It did take some time to adjust to not having to line up along the left side of the fairway, which I have had to do for years. Great club.
You cannot get a better club at this price! Added 20 yards to my drives and it does prevent you from slicing! Loved it so much I bought the 3 and 5 woods the next day after playing a round.
It is a nasty driver. It bombs the ball. Any skill level can use it and its a great deal.

I have had this driver for approx. 1 mn. now and let me say that it is wonderful. Extremely long and accurate. I bought it to replace my r580 XD and replace it it has. The feel of this driver is like no other out there, another wonderful product from Taylormade!!! If you are in the market for a new driver then you should check this one out for sure!!!!!
from buffalo, NY on 4/9/2008
I'm certainly not the best golfer, but this club has improved my drive considerably. I used to slice a lot, but the r7 has straightened that right out for me. I definitely recommend this to anybody suffering from the bad-golfer syndrome.
from Manchester, CT on 4/5/2008
I have a really frustrating slice, I read about this club and decided to give it a shot. I stoped at the driving range on my way home and it works! Not only did the ball fly straight but I hit it really far too! Before yesterday I would go home from the driving range in a really bad mood. That's all over now!
from Augusta, GA on 4/5/2008
I had a slice off the tee so I never used my driver now with this driver every tee shot is long and straight.
from baltimore, md on 4/4/2008
After reading a ton of reviews on the r7 Draw and after the price dropping to [$], I decided to go ahead and buy it. I normally have a horrendous slice with the driver, I hit about 50 drives at the range yesterday and not one sliced, most had a little draw or very slight fade action. I am playing my first round with it tomorrow, but so far so good.
Took it out to the driving range last night and it was really nice. Helped control my slice very nicely.
