Rate and review all r7 irons here.

Solid improvement over the RAC OS2 and LT2 line with the r7 and r7 TP. I prefer a forged iron, but the r7 TP is one of the softer cast clubs that I have hit.

These are some of the best cast irons I have hit. They are not as soft as a forged iron but they have a nice feel for a cast club. The tp keeps flight lower than the r7 but not by a whole lot. The tp is forgiving but the r7 is extremely forgiving.

I didn't care much for these...

I still like the 300 series the best!

That was a great set of irons, I still have mine. They were the clubs I used to pass my PAT for the PGA.

They were solid performers for me, but they just did not strike as well as my Ping S59's. I like the harsh feeling from the S59's, and these felt like I was not even hitting a ball when I made contact. I guess that's why I keep the Pings in the bag!

About a month ago I got fitted for my new irons. I tried the Callaway X-20s. the ping g5s, and the Taylor Made R7s. I went with the r7s. For me, they look perfect at address. My club fitter predicted that I would get a 1 club distance increase with these over my old cobra gravity backs that I have been playing for the last 5-6 years. I went with 5-pw.

My results after playing 2 rounds over the weekend:

Conditions: Warm but very windy. Greens very soft.

Course: Home Course: Playing around 6800 yards for both days. Very small greens.

These irons performed very well. I didn’t see a 1 club distance increase, maybe a half a club, but these are very forgiving. Off center hits still gave me distance and the misses were not bad.

I shot in the low 80’s both days, so starting out the year with these scores I was quite pleased.

I've had these clubs for about a month now. First impressions were mixed. I liked the way they felt,very soft compared to other cast clubs. On the down side I could not seem to hit them straight with everything going right or an outright shank. The problem turned out to be the huge difference in offset from my previos clubs. The R7 tp's have almost no offset and are not as forgiving on mishits as my old clubs. This forced me to become much more focused on each shot. The end result is that I now love them. My iron play has improved partly from the clubs but mostly from the need to focus more. One could argue that I could have saved the money spent on the clubs and just focused more, but then I wouldn't have new clubs. I expect to have these for a long time. For those of you who learned with blades, as I did, but have been using game improvement clubs for a while, you might want to give these a try. They have many of the best qualities of blades combined with the best qualities of game improvement irons. They are not the right club for everyone, but they are right for me.
