In shortMost golfers use the TaylorMade R7 Quad Mini as a driver replacement and find it much straighter, usually giving up roughly 10 to 15 yards. Many also like it off the deck as a 3-wood alternative. A few could not get it high enough or found it too hard to control, and a couple cracked.

“I’m that guy who always pulls 3 wood instead of driver because I can’t stop hitting it left. The shorter shaft made all the difference, and I’m seeing numbers similar to driver with the R7”
