The TaylorMade R7 3-Wood in stiff shaft configuration is a high-performance fairway wood designed for solid players who generate good clubhead speed. It combines adjustable weight technology with a sleek head design to allow for shot-shape tuning and workability, while still delivering strong carry and turf interaction.
Key Features
-
Loft & Head Specs: The 3-wood model typically has about a 15° loft (dependent on the sub-model). For example: the “R7 Steel” fairway lists 15° for the 3-wood.
-
Movable Weight Technology (MWT): The club incorporates two TLC (Tungsten Low-center) weight ports (e.g., 14 g + 2 g) enabling right-to-left shot shape adjustment of about 15 yards.
-
Head Construction & Shape: The head uses a traditional “V-Shape” sole design (in some models) for better turf interaction, and the face is designed for a high coefficient of restitution (fast ball speed off the face).
-
Shaft Flex / Recommendation: The stiff shaft version is tuned for players with faster swing speeds who want control and lower spin/trajectory than more flexible shafts. As noted generally, a stiff shaft suits stronger swings by reducing excessive launch/spin.
-
Playability: According to independent reviews, the R7 3-Wood is more geared toward better players (rather than entry-level), offering good adjustability and workability rather than maximum forgiveness.
