In line with purchasing and using this club if you are a SERIOUS golfer, about.com states, "TaylorMade says the r7 quad is will work best for players that possess the ability to repeat their swing and recognize changes in trajectory. Tour pros and low- to mid-handicap amateurs (zero to 18 handicap) will get the most out of the r7 quad, the company says." If that description fits your game, just take a look at what Justin Rose is doing on the golf course today with this driver.

Remember that the loft on Phil's club as checked was 8.5 degrees, not the 10 degrees shown in the picture above. Was he using this same club when he won the Deutsche Bank Championship today? Although we don't have visual proof for you, it's highly likely.

According to http://www.golfio.com/, "The Nike SasQuatch Tour 460 driver has a taller face height and less breadth than the Sas Quatch 460cc. This unique profile delivers a more boring trajectory and the increased workability desired by better players. To get a hotter response and greater consistency, the SasQuatch Tour 460 has a face of layered yet tightly compressed titanium called NexTi, developed exclusively for Nike Golf. Available only in Nike Golf drivers, NexTi titanium face is thinner, stronger and lighter than conventional titanium. Combining NexTi material with SasQuatch Geometry provides a powerful blend of distance and accuracy."
You can find the 9.5 degree, stiff flex model for $199, currently at http://www.edwinwattsgolf.com/.
