Advantages: Weight movable technology
Disadvantages: Not for the beginner

...It was about time that I upgraded some of my golf equipment, well it all needs to be up graded myself included. If you play the game you may know what I mean. First up was to be a shinny new driver. I looked around for quite sometime checking out all the new stuff and finally I made my choice. Taylormade Golf equipment was going to be the clubs for me. The R7 Super quad was just the weapon. I picked up the 10.5° degrees of loft with a regular shaft and I must as it was light after the old driver. But boy did it go I have been about thirty yards longer every time. However have not always been straight but that would be me and not the club. This club has weight movement technology which is all good fun and it works. Set the club up for a high draw and that is what you will get. Technical Bit The driver comes in all black... Read review

Advantages: Tiger Wood eat your heart out
Disadvantages: Will not be popular with your bank manager

...that a golf ball can travel when hit at a certain test speed has also been capped. Amazingly, manufacturers have pushed the envelope and are creating new products that get within a hair’s breadth of these limits. The upshot of all this is that since the limits on distance and size have been met, millions of dollars are being spent on research to create better, more forgiving and more playable equipment and balls. One such product that is causing waves is TaylorMade’s 400cc r7 Quad driver. TaylorMade, who introduced metal woods to golf, have always been at the vanguard of golf research and manufacturing. Their new r7 clubhead is a bundle of technology aimed at simplifying draws and fades. Professional golfers have always known that one can change their shot pattern by sticking lead tape on the clubhead. In effect, what that does is enable a player... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, good looks
Disadvantages: Can be pricey - shop around

...The secret to this driver is the Taylor Made Launch Control system which is effectively 4 little screw-in weights (2 x 10 grammes and 2 x 5 grammes) that reside in the back of the club. Based on the way the 4 weights are distributed around the back of the club will determine the shape of your shot. The beast comes with a custom wrench to unscrew the weights and a handy 'wheel' that shows you the best positions for the weights based on your swing and ability. I have always been the kind of gut that takes a 3 Wood off the tee as my driving was always a little wayward to say the least. My game had evolved and my ability increased to the point that I needed a little extra off the tee. Last year I had the opportunity to buy the R7 and since I picked it up my driving has improved considerably. Now we all see the adverts... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Paintwork

...As a keen golfer myself who has risen from a 36 handicap to a 17 in 1 year, i have chnaged my clubs over and over again looking for the perfect club give me great feel, distance and one that when you pick it up looks great, well i believe this club does it all. Approximately 6 months ago, i was looking for a new 3 wood which gave me as much distance off of the turf (floor) as it did off of the tee, so I went to the local driving range to look for a average price 3 wood that compared to the top brands at the time, this of course being the new nike saquatch and the callaway big bertha. Brousing the shop i came across the Taylormade V-steel priced and £69.99 reduced from £149.99. As a good deal goes i felt drawn in by nearly £100 being reduced fromt he club and decieded to give it ago which wa probably the best decision of the night... Read review

Advantages: optical zoom, macro, stylish, not expensive, speedy
Disadvantages: Some features are not very effective

...The Ricoh Caplio R7 was released in August 2007. This camera has an amazing 7x optical zoom ( basically how much it can zoom when capturing an image) which is an exceptional amount considering it's size and price. It also has 8 megapixels along with a 2.7 inch screen with 230k pixel resolution.It weighs161 grams (including battery) and is very compact, you would really notice it in your bag or your pocket. One of my favourite features is the 'Vibration correction system' which encourages sharper images( compensates for handshakes), but this doesn't actually very successful. This is a point and shoot camera so it doesn't have as many exposure contrals as there could be in othe camera. Another anti shake system is the 'camera shake correction' ( compensates for camera shake) which can also double up as an anti-blur feature. The 1cm Macro... Read review

Advantages: great image quality from a tiny camera!
Disadvantages: noisy lens mechanism due to it being such a big lens in such a small body

...Picked this up nearly 3 months ago now as my third compact digital after having a kodak for my first then a canon IXUS 500 after that. I also shoot with a Canon EOS 300d so was looking for great image quality, and a general upgrade from my IXUS. I went for the R7 because it starts up and shoots so fast its perfect as a little point and shoot. The zoom level is brilliant and I don't even use digital zoom. As far as settings go its got all that you would expect in terms of the automatic options and then for the more advanced users the array of custom options are far beyond any compact digital I have used in the past. Its even got manual focus! I've not really found any faults with the camera so far, it does everything I need and more, looks really cool and is really easy to use.... Read review

Advantages: well balanced, excellent feel
Disadvantages: none

...What makes Taylormade Nubbins a great putter is, its a well balanced putter, great to use and has a great feel. I don't know the science so i'm not going to try to explain but my Taylormade nubbins bls really works for me. Ive tried a few putters in my time, putters from MD Golf, Wilson Deep Red, and a Bronty but the Taylormade exceeds all of them. The face of the putter has a 'bobbly' like face made from a soft rubber that actually makes a great contact with the ball. i found that it is nicely balanced and makes the ball go straight if you make a good through contact. Initaially i had problems with the feel and made a few bad putts, sending the ball way past and often short, but after a few rounds i got a great feel of the putter and never really missed a putt more than 2 feet, I often only had 2 putts on a green (getting to the green...

Advantages: Hits the ball a VERY long way. Keeps the ball straight.
Disadvantages: Not a solitary thing.

...,, ultra-light graphite shaft weighing only 70 grams, and I believe you have almost the perfect golf club. ~ ~ There are various different shaft options and loft options to suit the individual golfer. For a golfer with a very fast swing speed, you can opt for a club with only 7.5 degrees of loft, and with a very stiff shaft. For a older or less strong golfer, the better option would be a “regular” shaft (whippier) with more loft; up to 12 degrees which will get the golf ball airborne more quickly. ~ ~ Now for the really good news. The price. When the R540 first hit the market back in 2003, the price here in Ireland was a mind boggling €499. (Over £300 Sterling) I bought my R540 in McGuirks, a local Irish golfing superstore, for only €140! Why the huge drop in price, you might well ask? It’s because TaylorMade have now released an even... Read review
