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.

Not a long hitter, but their longest drive this season came from the R7 Quad mini, which stopped their slicing.
“I love my R7 Quad MD. I am not a long ball hitter but this season my longest drive came from my R7.”
Uses the R7 as a mini driver that goes straight and far, and hits it off the deck really well, much better than a 3 wood.
“Use my r7 as my mine driver. Goes straight and far. Also can hit it off the deck really well.”
Switched from a 3 wood off the tee to the R7 mini and now hits a perfect fade 280-290; their whole game has improved with the added confidence.
“I have gained confidence with all my clubs after using the mini driver and my game is just so much better now”
Plays a stock-shaft R7 mini in stiff and hit a 277-yard tee shot in its first round. Finds it easy enough off the deck, though it needs more practice, and easier than their old 3-wood. Only recommends paying that much if properly fitted.
“I have a stock r7 mini in stiff and my longest tee shot is 277 yards first round with it which was a wow moment.”
Consistently hits the R7 further than their Sim 2 Max and squares it up consistently.
“Yes, I consistently hit my R7 further than my Sim 2 Max and I am consistently squaring it up.”
Keeps the R7 Quad Mini as a backup: slightly longer than their GT280 but not as consistent.
“I have the R7 as a backup (it's actually a little longer but not as consistent)”
After struggling with driver for two seasons, their R7 Quad mini has produced 280+ drives down the middle with no unplayable misses so far.
“Got an R7 mini quad a few weeks ago and absolutely love it!”
Hit the R7 mini and found it went further than the Elyte mini but was hard to control.
“The TM went further but felt just has hard to control.”
A 100+ mph swinger who found a 460cc driver like a broom says the R7 Quad Mini was a game changer, with timing spot on.
“I picked up a r7 mini driver (13.5) and seriously, it's been a game changer. Now, I can swing as fast as I want and the club head doesn't lag. My timing is spot on with it.”
At 115mph, the R7 Quad Mini 11.5° blew them away on Trackman: barely shorter than their driver with great dispersion, so the driver left the bag.
“Picked up the r7 mini 11.5 with the Big Wave White 70x. Took it out to the track man sim I’m a member at and the numbers and dispersion blew my mind.”
Was fitted for a mini driver head on a full driver shaft; the R7 mini took their drives from 230-270 to 280-296.
Their R7 Quad mini is a dream off the deck, carrying about 220 and going 240.
“I have the r7 quad and it is a dream off the deck...”
Loves the R7 Quad Mini 13.5° as a 3-wood replacement: carries 265-275 and hits it as well off the deck.
“Absolutely love my r7 quad mini driver. It replaced my 3 wood, not my driver.”
