The makers of the Qi35 family, TaylorMade Golf produces some of the best drivers in the game, and with the release of the R7 Quad, that trend continues
This one is a bit different, though. The R7 Quad is a mini driver; it’s smaller and lighter than many full-size drivers, with a compact 305cc head.
Moreover, it’s made with some of TaylorMade’s best technological innovations, such as the company’s Twist Face and Speed Pocket Technologies, along with an Infinity Carbon Crown, which saves weight, optimizes mass, and of course looks great.
On top of that, the TaylorMade R7 Quad Mini Driver boasts a unique weighting system, with not one or two, but four positionable weights, two 13g and two 4g weights, which can be positioned as needed to customize shot shape.
This makes the R7 Quad Mini Driver one of the most customizable drivers in the game, making it ideal for players of many different skill levels and needs, and its compact size and lightweight design minimize swing overall swing weight, making it uniquely appealing to those with slower swing speeds.
That brings up the question of shaft pairing. There is one shaft that TaylorMade expressly recommends for the R7 Quad; the Fujikura Speeder MD. Here’s what you need to know about pairing this as a TaylorMade shaft for this mini driver.
A Match Made in Heaven
Whether or not the folks at Fujikura expressly designed the Speeder MD for the R7 Quad Mini Driver is your guess as well as ours, but they did expressly state that it was designed for mini drivers – so it is as good as an authentic TaylorMade shaft for the pairing.
Specifically, the Speeder MD has been developed as a shaft that reduces spin and maximizes stability without adding too much weight.
Because of its low weight, it complements already low-weight mini drivers effortlessly, and keeps swing weighting to a minimum for players with slower swing speeds. It also produces extremely high stability even without the extra bulk typically associated with shafts that do so.
As for launch and spin, it produces medium launch characteristics, which can add a little boost to lagging swings, but keeps spin low to medium, to help prevent shot dispersion issues – that, paired with the adjustable weights of the R7 Quad, do the rest.
Inherently stable, accurate, and low on weight and spin, the Fujikura Speeder MD swings fast and helps keep accuracy under control – making it ideal for small, light, and as the case is, adjustable mini drivers like the TaylorMade R7 Quad.
