Coming soon from TaylorMade is the R7 CGB Max driver, which sports a 460cc triangular head and three weight ports. When the included 16-gram weight is placed in the heel port, it offers the biggest draw bias in the TaylorMade line, with as much as a 35 yard difference. Placing the same weight in the center encourages a mild draw, while screwing it into the toe produces a slight fade. The same weight system is said to create a difference in loft of one degree up or down.
TaylorMade’s “SuperFast” technology is supposed to reduce the overall weight of the club, increasing speed, and thus distance. For me, though, the best part is that it continues the use of the Inverted Cone System. I’ve got the cones on my R7 XD Irons, and on my R7 driver, and find that it really does work. I get more distance and accuracy with these than with any other set I’ve ever played with.
Unfortunately, the R7 CGB Max is way out of the GolfBlogger’s budget. At $499 suggested retail, I’ll just have to dream.

Don’t worry, within 6 months after this Driver hits the stores, TaylorMade will have something even bigger and better, which means the price of CGB Max will drop. I know, I use TaylorMade Drivers and if you’re just a bit patience, you can get them cheaper.
Looks nice.
