The word "MAX" stands for maximum COR, maximum COR zone, maximum ball speed, maximum clubhead speed and maximum forgiveness. The r7 CGB MAX incorporates a variety of technologies that promote all of these elements.
The r7 CGB MAX generates the maximum COR allowed by the USGA. That's made possible by the milled 455 stainless steel clubface, which is extremely thin yet extremely strong. The MAX's high COR helps generate high initial ball speed, equaling exceptional distance.
Like TaylorMade metalwoods, the r7 CGB MAX employs Pull-Face construction, meaning that the head and the face are created separately. That allows TaylorMade engineers to mill both sides of the clubface, so that the Inverted Cone and grooves can be created to the exacting specifications required, and so that the face can be milled perfectly flat.
The r7 CGB MAX is engineered with an extraordinarily low, deep-back CG position, which makes it extremely easy to launch the ball on a high, long trajectory. In fact, TaylorMade engineers strengthened the lofts of each iron in order to lower the ball flight slightly. The result is a high, powerful and penetrating trajectory that delivers the optimum combination of carry, distance and control.
The r7 CGB MAX is the largest iron that TaylorMade has ever created, and because of that boasts the largest clubface area, which helps make the MAX extremely forgiving on mis-hit
The r7 CGB MAX is engineered for players that desire an iron that incorporates the most advanced technology available, and the highest performance possible in terms of power, distance, forgiveness and ease of use
