subject: A New Era in Iron Performance! R7 CGB Max Irons [print this page] TaylorMade Golf Company has unveiled a new iron, the r7 CGB MAX, the name of which tells a lot about the performance of the product. The letters "CGB" stand for "center-of-gravity back," a reference to the iron's exceptionally low and deep CG position that contributes to the kind of optimum launch conditions that promote added distance and control. "MAX" alludes to maximum COR, maximum COR zone, maximum clubhead speed, maximum ball speed and maximum forgiveness. The point being that the r7 CGB MAX is engineered to launch high, long, accurate shots with extraordinary ease. It is the most technologically advanced iron TaylorMade has ever created, and represents the pinnacle in terms of a game-improvement iron design.
The r7 CGB MAX iron incorporates Inverted Core Technology (ICT), a metalwood breakthrough used to expand the size of the COR zone in TaylorMade drivers. ICT changes the way the clubface behaves at impact and increases the size of the zone that delivers high initial ball speed. This makes the r7 CGB MAX more forgiving and easier to launch and promotes "constant distance" - exceptional yardage, shot after shot. Features: Enhanced Inverted Cone Technology maximizes the COR zone, delivering the highest ball speed over a larger face area. Experience longer carry and distance on mis-hits 100% CNC-milled, high strength 455 stainless steel clubface offers the highest allowable COR for maximum ball speed. Experience maximum carry and distance Hollow Top-Line frame and wide sole allows 17 grams of mass to be positioned lower and deeper back, away from the face. This delivers the highest launch angle for maximum carry.
The r7 CGB MAX's distance-producing capabilities begin with the clubface, which is created separately from the clubhead thanks to TaylorMade's Pull-Face method of construction. The clubface, which consists of 455 stainless steel, is exceptionally thin yet exceptionally strong, and boasts a large, unsupported area that helps to generate an uncommonly high COR for an iron, helping to promote faster ball speed and increased distance.
