Golf- Regaining My Confidence With a Long Approach Shot
15 of 17 people found this review helpful.
When faced with a fairway shot of 200 to 230 yards in the past, I would either plan on hitting 2 short iron shots to get on the green or hit my 3 iron and pray a lot. I had completely lost faith in my fairway woods which were 10 year old steel clubs from a top manufacturer.
Although they were leading edge technology when new, they were too big, too heavy and designed with a V shaped bottom that constantly got hung up in the turf.
3 months ago, I won a Taylormade R7 425 driver and loved it and, more importantly, still love it after several rounds of golf...drivers have a painful tendency to cure all your ills for about 3 trips to the driving range and 1 round of golf before they completely abandon you to your old habits.
Anyway, enough background info on my decision to get on ebay and try to find a fairway wood to match my R7 driver. I didn't want to pay the $299 retail price for the R7 fairway wood and found that they were selling for about $150 plus shipping using Buy It Now. Although that is a great price, it told me that I could probably go through the bidding process and get one for even less. I found several with Regular flex shafts and a few with Stiff flex which is my preference. Within 10 days I had won a bid and had possesseion of my Taylormade R7 stiff flex fairway wood.
What a great club! I consistently hit crisp straight shots about 210 yards. I'm sure that the improvement is a result of Taylormade's advanced club design and technology....but from my perspective, it's a smaller, flatter and lighter club that simply nails the ball like I was swinging a mid-iron. The club and cover look good, too. The graphite shaft coloration and the red and yellow head cover give you the feeling that you have a club that is 'all you need'. With my Taylormade R7 fairway wood in my bag, I'm back in the game when I'm faced with a long approach shot!
