This driver head is the only one of the aforementioned interchangeable systems that has been specifically designed to accommodate an interchangeable shaft as opposed to the others where the shaft was made to fit an existing head.

The Limited has a slightly smaller head than the previous r7 CGB MAX driver and is packaged with nine weight plugs and three interchangeable shafts allowing for 1,071 possible combinations.

The r7 CGB MAX Limited is as TaylorMade likes to call it, a “Tour Van in a Box” that allows golfers to enjoy a customization experience similar to that offered to TaylorMade’s Tour Staff professionals. The r7 CGB MAX Limited kit comes in a beautifully designed box and includes a newly-developed titanium clubhead with three movable weight ports; three shafts, with distinctly different launch properties; two shaft-securing bolts; one 40 inch-pound torque wrench; nine movable weights and one head cover.

As for the shafts themselves, TaylorMade went first-class as usual using:

The Fujikura® Rombax® is a standard-weight shaft (75 grams) with a medium-firm tip, and is engineered to deliver low spin and a medium launch angle. It features Fujikura’s renowned Rombax technology for increased stability and consistency.

The Mitsubishi® Diamana® White Board is a lightweight shaft (65 grams) with a firm tip and mid-section, and a softer butt-section. It’s engineered to deliver exceptional stability through impact, reduced spin, a lower launch angle and excellent feel.

The Matrix Ozik XCon is an ultra-light shaft (55 grams) with a medium-soft tip, and is engineered to deliver added kick through impact and to promote a high launch angle and low spin-rate. It incorporates Matrix X-Axis Control to lower torque and increase stability.
Available in lofts of 8.5 º. 9.5 º and 10.5 º.

SMT Golf, a component company, whose primary claim to fame is that it is the first and only company to win each division of the RE/Max World Long Drive Championship, and the “Longest driver on any PGA Tour”, has introduced their version of interchangeable head and shaft technology equipment at very affordable prices.

Their USP (Unique Selling Proposition) is that unlike any of the aforementioned companies, the system that SMT employs will allow the golfer or club fitter to actually use golf shafts and club heads of different diameters to achieve a fit or feel that was never before possible. Now you can actually use a .350 diameter shaft in a .335 diameter hosel and vice-versa.

SMT Golf is offering 5 different custom packages from their line of award winning heads and shafts. You choose the heads and shafts for each package to suit your own tastes and preferences. Every head and shaft comes fully outfitted with the connector system in place, cut to your desired playing length and gripped with your choice of grip size. This is certainly a distinct advantage over similar companies with only just interchangeable shafts.

#1. ONE driver head and TWO graphite shafts - $285.00

#2. TWO driver heads and ONE graphite shaft - $329.00

#3. ONE driver head and THREE graphite shafts - $349.00

Adam’s has made phenomenal progress with their Boxer technology and their acceptance as the premier brand on the Champions Tour. The Insight XTD is the Official Driver of the LDA, which includes the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship and the Exceptional Driver Championship.

By expanding the impact zone of the face for maximized ball speed on center and off-center hits and through Adam’s highly successful Boxer Technology, the innovative geometric shaping used in the their hybrids, has made this driver superb for greater distance.

The XTD Pro features the new Graphite Design Tour AD YSQ 65-gram graphite shaft and its face is open two degrees.

The club feels solid, stable and is very responsive. It seemed that the ball just kept going further for our higher handicappers testing the club. A good sign no doubt. The Aldila DVS 55-gram graphite shaft designed for extra kick at impact is the shaft of choice for the XTD.

Wilson’s new Spine driver is another of today’s “new driver geometry” class of drivers whose USP (Unique Selling Proposition) is that of generating high MOI and low CG with explosively long and accurate results. Wilson has achieved this admirably by redistributing weight from the center of the crown to the perimeter. The weight was “scooped” out of the crown a la the Cleveland XLS.

The Spine’s address footprint is large and confidence-building, thanks to the large sole. Players who take comfort in seeing an expansive and powerful-looking club head behind the ball at address will enjoy the Spine.
A UST V2 HMOI SHAFT was used to maximize distance and maintain stability, a job done exceedingly well.

Some golfers will have to get used to the sound of the driver, which is considerably less noisy than similar square faced and geometric designed drivers.

Lofts of 9 º, 10.5 º and 12 º are available.
