Lucky 7's
I purchased a 6-SW R7 set with stock Taylormade graphite shafts. I have to agree with everyone else who made the claims that these irons have a very large sweet spot. They definitly have forgiveness that you would not expect just by looking at them. I have had numerous off center hits that went straight, high, and reasonably far considering where I struck the ball.
It was hard to adjust to the graphite. It is very light, but in a way it takes away from the feel of the club. I am starting to adjust to this but I was previously playing large cavity back game improvment irons, and I had much more feel for the head weight throughout my swing with those.
I dont really try and "work" the ball, but I have noticed that these due tend to draw or fade nicely if done right. I did notice the cavity backs on the particular R7's I purchased had some dents and paint wear. They do seem easy to dent if you dont take care of them. The previous owner did not take care of them very well. I put iron covers on em. Ill treat them well.
Ebay is the best place to grabe these because you can get them relatively cheap. Compared to the price of the new products TM puts out, save some money and grab gear from a couple of years ago. You wont be dissapointed. You should have to spend over $200 for a set of stock steel shafted r7 iron sets. I have seen them go for $150 in excellent condition.
