TaylorMade r7 CGB MAX Rescue

I was unsure about the colour of this Rescue club, but I loved both the compact shape and the confidence-inspiring high ball flight that it produced.
Why you can trust Golf Monthly
The triangular-shaped clubhead has a low and deep centre of gravity for a higher-launching ball flight. Fitted with a Fujikura RE*AX SuperFast shaft to promote a faster swing speed and better distance.
