Taylormade r7 460 vs Callaway FT3

[knightd_2001]

Currently hitting Callaway 454 with Grafalloy NT Comp X stiff 10 degree.

Looking at the the TM r7 460 and FT3. Wanted to know if anyone had hit both and there

impressions.

 

Thanks

I just hit both at TWO demo days this weekend. Here are my notes:

 

FT3 Draw Driver - This was my last stop of the day. I loved the feeling and performance of this driver. It has a hollow carbon sound which is completely different than an all-Titanium driver. It was VERY long, and felt supremely forgiving, even on mis-hits. I would say this was a tight race with the R7 460cc overall for one of the best drivers I've ever hit. I liked this driver tremendously.

 

R7 460cc - This club is absolutely the best driver I've ever hit or owned. It has a marvelous combination of forgiveness, a super-hot face, and very very good distance. I was also very surprised by the REAX shaft - I typically do not like Taylormade's OEM shafts, but this shaft felt smoother, and more accurate. This club was the absolute pinnacle of what a driver should be - a great combination of feeling, forgiveness, and super-hot distance.

 

I play an R5-Neutral (the R7 460cc was not available at the time), with a ACCRA T60 M5, which feels smoother and is more accurate based on the OEM MAS2 shaft. Based on recent testing, my next driver will be the R7 460cc, once the price drops.

 

As you can tell - I'm a fan of both of these drivers, but I'd have to give the nod to the R7 460cc, but it was a close race.

Great analysis.

I hit the r7 460 today on launch monitor.

Did not pay much attention to spin rate but carry was 300 but not consistently.

I also hit the FT3 neutral and carry was 280 - 290 consistently.

I am going to try to get demo's of each to take out to the range.

Will let you know results.

Please do! ALSO...........make sure to hit the new F-50 Mizuno fairway woods. I also hit those at the same demo day, and was very, very impressed. Great stick.

 

Can you tell that it's buying season!
