Mitäs mieltä tästä aseesta ollaan??? Millähän hintaa saadaan suomen markkinoille kun lähtöhinta jenkeissä tulee olemaan 600,00 dollaria??? TaylorMade’s r7 quad Driver Allows Golfers to TaylorMade’s new ’r7 quad’ driver gives golfers the ability to quickly and easily adjust launch conditions to fit their swings. How? By building into the driver what the company calls ’TaylorMade Launch Control’ – 24 grams of weight that can be redistributed – quickly and easily – by the driver’s owner to produce six different launch conditions in one driver. ’If your driver’s launch conditions don’t match up with your individual swing characteristics, you’re losing distance,’ says Dr. Benoit Vincent, Chief Technical Officer. ’By providing a range of launch conditions in one club, we’ve given players the opportunity to find a combination of spin-rate and launch angle that will allow them to achieve maximum distance and accuracy.’ Those 24 grams of discretionary weight can be redistributed in the clubhead through the use of ’TLC ports,’ which are located on the sole of the clubhead. ’TLC cartridges’ – differently weighted plugs – are screwed into the ports. The cartridges come in different weights, and they can be installed into the ports in different combination to produce different weight characteristics and therefore different launch conditions. It’s all about the center of gravity. Installing different-weighted TLC cartridges in different configurations in the TLC ports effectively shifts the CG toward the front or the back, or toward the heel or the toe. Each CG location delivers a new set of launch conditions based upon the player’s personal performance needs. ’There are many, many golfers who have played the game for years with drivers whose launch conditions aren’t close to being right for them,’ says Sean Toulon, Senior Vice President of Brand Management and Creation. ’These players are sitting on distance reserves that are waiting to be tapped by a driver that will provide them launch conditions that fit their swing. TLC allows you to easily switch between several sets of launch conditions. It allows you to find the launch conditions that work best with your swing so that you can exercise your true distance potential.’ The different weighting options produced by the TLC system promote six trajectory types that can help the player to hit the ball higher or lower, and at the same time provides biases that will help low- and mid-handicap players to work the ball to the right or to the left by varying degrees up to ten yards. A special tool, called the TLC Trajectory Wheel comes with the r7 quad, and is designed to clearly show which TLC cartridges are required and how they should be configured to promote each of the six potential trajectories that the r7 quad is designed to deliver. r7 quad TLC cartridges weigh 10 grams and 2 grams. The 10-gram TLC cartridges are made primarily of tungsten; the 2-gram TLC cartridges are made entirely of titanium. The r7 quad comes with two 2-gram cartridges and two 10-gram cartridges. TLC ports are positioned low in the clubhead, to keep the CG as low as possible. TLC ports are also positioned as far toward the clubhead’s perimeter as allowable, making it possible to move the CG far enough to the locations that would deliver the launch conditions that TaylorMade engineers had targeted. Positioning the TLC ports near the clubhead’s perimeter creates the additional benefit of increased MOI, making the r7 quad’s 400cc clubhead more stable and forgiving on mis-hits, regardless of how the TLC cartridges are configured. TaylorMade says that the r7 quad boasts a 10-percent higher MOI than TaylorMade’s similarly sized R510 TP driver. A detailed instruction manual accompanies the r7 quad and clearly explains how to proper install, remove and care for the TLC cartridges and TLC ports. The r7 quad is equipped with TaylorMade’s M.A.S.2 7 graphite shaft, weighing 65 grams and available in TS, S, R, and M flexes. Custom shaft options will be available starting July 15. TaylorMade says the r7 quad is will work best for players that possess the ability to repeat their swing and recognize changes in trajectory. Tour pros and low- to mid-handicap amateurs (zero to 18 handicap) will get the most out of the r7 quad, the company says. The head size, shape, face angle and workability are designed to work best in the hands of these types of players. The r7 quad is available in lofts of 7.5, 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 degrees. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $600. Limited availability begins in stores starting June 1; full distribution will be reached by June
