Difference between r7 and r7 draw irons?

Question

Hi, I went to the store today and tried a bunch of differn't irons. I liked the r7's. I was wondering why the r7's cost more than the r7 draws.

Answer 1

The r7 is a great club, I used to hit them myself. The r7 draw has a face that is 2-degrees closed to encourage a draw. Actually, it is more to reduce (not eliminate) a slice. People who cannot stop their slice and won't take lessons or practice enough to fix the swing flaw causing it, will buy the r7 draw (or other draw-bias club) instead. It does work, but if you don't have a slice problem and already hit a draw, it will turn your draw into a duck hook.

The r7 draw is cheaper because they did not sell as many of them as they hoped when it was introduced and now TaylorMade is stuck with thousands of sets of them. Also, both versions of the r7 are selling for less than a year ago because the Burner series is their new mass market club and they are looking to sell off the older inventory.

Every year when the newest clubs come out, the old ones drop to about half the original price. Great deal for you and the technology is just as good. I buy new irons about every two or three years and I always wait until I get this type of deal on last year's clubs.

Answer 2

the first guy is basically right.
