Shaft Property

» TaylorMade R7 460 Driver has an extra large 460 cc clubhead which offers a high MOI for tremendous forgiveness and long, straight results on off-center hits

» Go from a neutral trajectory to a draw with two clicks of the TLC wrench. Includes 16 grams of movable weight -- (1) 2-gram and (1) 14-gram cartridge for shot-shape movement of up to 15 yards

» New TaylorMade RE*AX shaft with Fujikura RE*AX technology reduces ovaling in the mid-section to promote greater stability, shot consistency and clubhead speed

» Large, beautifully shaped footprint looks strong and powerful behind the ball, boosting confidence

» Inverted Cone Technology dramatically expands the portion of the clubface that delivers high COR, promoting higher ball velocity and greater distance on drives

» Exceptionally low-deep CG and massive clubhead area promote long carry and phenomenal distance

 

How much larger and more forgiving is the r7 460 compared to the original r7 quad?
The 460, which measures 460 cc, is 15% larger than the r7 quad and boasts an MOI that's 12% higher.

Is the driver easy to hit?
The 460 is super-easy to hit, thanks to 1) its tremendous size, 2) its exceptionally low, deep CG, and 3) the vigorous way that the tip of the RE*AX shaft kicks through the hitting zone.

What makes the r7 460 driver so forgiving?
Two things contribute to the 460's exceptionally high MOI. 1) Its large size. At 460 cc, it's the largest sized clubhead that the USGA will allow. 2) Its widely spaced TLC ports, which also enhance the 460 on mis-hits, especially those toward the heel and toe.

How much movable weight is included with the R7 460 Driver ?
The 460 comes with one 2-gram cartridge and one 14-gram cartridge for a total of 16 grams of movable weight.

How many CG positions does the 460 deliver to promote what kinds of trajectories?
Given its two TLC ports and two TLC cartridges, the 460 delivers two CG positions. Installing the 14-gram cartridge in the toe and the 2-gram cartridge in the heel promotes a neutral, or straight, ball flight, while installing the 14-gram cartridge in the heel and the 2-gram cartridge in the toe creates a right-to-left bias that promotes a change in trajectory of up to 15 yards.

What benefits does Ultra-Thin Technology provide in the r7 460?
The r7 460 employs Ultra-Thin Wall Technology, which allows for extremely thin yet strong clubhead walls. The weight saved by Ultra-Thin Wall Technology helps make Movable Weight Technology possible.

The 460 also employs TaylorMade's renowned Inverted Cone technology, which increases the size of the COR zone, which is the portion of the clubface that delivers consistently higher ball velocity, resulting in consistently longer drives. An added advantage of ICT is that the exceptionally light clubface allows weight to be applied to TLC.

Does the 460's Inverted Cone Technology differ from previous generations?
Yes; the TaylorMade R7 460 Driver features TaylorMade's third generation of ICT, which was introduced in the R500 Series. The key improvement between the advent of ICT and ICT in its current form is that now we're able to produce drivers whose clubfaces are subject to much tighter tolerances from one to the next. That means we can deliver consistently faster clubfaces from driver to driver without exceeding the "speed limit" imposed by the USGA.

What kind of shaft is the driver equipped with?
The 460 is equipped with TaylorMade's new RE*AX shaft with RE*AX technology – the same RE*AX technology employed in the r7 425's RE*AX shaft.

What is RE*AX?
RE*AX is two things. First, it's the name of a new line of TaylorMade shafts. The RE*AX name infers a shaft that responds or reacts positively to the demands created by larger headed drivers, and in doing so delivers greater consistency, control and clubhead speed, which allows it to promote greater distance and accuracy.

RE*AX is also the name of a specific technology employed in the RE*AX line of driver shafts. RE*AX technology, which was developed by Fujikura, incorporates a sheet of graphite specially woven from two strands of high-grade graphite. This sheet is wrapped around the shaft starting underneath the grip and running towards the tip, taking up approximately one-third of the shaft's length and stabilizing the segment of the shaft that's most vulnerable to "ovaling." The r7 425 and r7 460 shafts are each equipped with a RE*AX shaft that incorporates RE*AX technology.

What is "ovaling?"
"Ovaling" occurs when the normal forces of the forwardswing distort the shaft, forcing it from a circular shape into an oval shape. Ovaling causes inconsistencies in the way that the shaft loads and releases energy, and in the manner in which the shaft delivers the clubface to the ball.

How does RE*AX technology diminish ovaling?
Critical to the performance of RE*AX technology is the computer-generated pattern used to weave the graphite tightly together, which provides the shape-strength necessary to help the shaft resist ovaling.

Does the RE*AX technology incorporated into the TaylorMade R7 460 Driver's RE*AX shaft offer any additional performance advantages?
Yes. The RE*AX graphite sheet covers one-third the length of the shaft, stretching from just underneath the grip and running towards the tip. That stabilizes the portion of the shaft that's most vulnerable to ovaling. Adding strength to the shaft above the tip also allows the tip to remain flexible so that it kicks faster, increasing clubhead speed through the hitting zone to promote increased ball speed and a higher trajectory for added distance.

  I love this club, I can really whip it around out of my baclswing and launch it down the middle, for a 9 degree stiff shaft driver i sure get a high ball flight though, I wish it was more penetrating. the longer shaft on the club also helps with distance.

  I have owned this driver for two months now and am very happy with it. I have played about 12 rounds with it and have had it out to the driving range a least that many times. I did have to spend some time with it to get the ball flight I wanted. I typically play a fade off the tee with a low to med. trajectory. The first few times I was loosing balls to the left, a first for me and the flight was too high. I fixed this by not having the ball so far forward in my stance and lowering my tee height. Bingo it now goes straight down the middle of the fairway. Don't be afraid to adjust your set up if you are having troble with a new club. This driver is the most forgiving club I have hit, heel and toe shots are still in play with good distance. I am hitting this 15 yards longer than my old Clevland Launcher, 250-260 avg. with a number of them 280-290 when I flush it. It's nice to hear your buddies say you are driving the ball better than every. Give this driver a try.
