TaylorMade R7 Quad Mini Driver: Boldly Revisiting a Classic with a Modern Twist

The new TaylorMade R7 Quad Mini ushers in a daring revival of one of golf’s most iconic driver designs.

With its lineage rooted in the celebrated R7 (and R7 SuperQuad) era, this forward-thinking Mini Driver pays tribute to its predecessors while carving out a fresh identity that’s sure to spark intrigue among today’s players.

A Nod to R7 Heritage

Golfers, gather ’round if you remember the blockbuster R7 driver that swept across the fairways in 2004.

That club tallied over 30 worldwide wins—including a memorable triumph at the 2004 U.S. Open—cementing its place in TaylorMade folklore.

Now, the brand has recaptured that nostalgic magic with the TaylorMade R7 Quad Mini, folding in modern materials and engineering breakthroughs that simply weren’t around back in the day.

“The R7 Quad Mini Driver is one of those projects that got everyone excited from the initial concept, and being able to bring back one of the most iconic clubs in TaylorMade history (R7 Driver) was a dream come true. We couldn’t be more excited to continue setting the pace in the Mini Driver category.”

With Mini drivers seeing increased popularity among PGA TOUR pros and amateurs alike, TaylorMade’s decision to look to the R7 for inspiration seems as natural as a crisp fairway approach on a sunny Saturday morning.

Adjustable Weighting: The Game-Changer

One of the biggest talking points in the original R7 driver was its Movable Weight Technology, which has now evolved into the Quad Weighting System for the TaylorMade R7 Quad Mini.

This system involves four weights—two at 13g and two at 4g—strategically placed in four distinct ports around the head (toe, heel, and two at the rear).

By moving and swapping these weights, golfers can fine-tune spin, trajectory, and shot shape with remarkable precision.

Placing more weight toward the front of the club helps generate a piercing ball flight that suits those looking for distance.

Shifting the weight back, meanwhile, increases control and forgiveness—something you’ll appreciate if you’re no stranger to tight fairways or if you occasionally like to test your fate off the deck.

Lightweight Crown, Heavy on Style

The TaylorMade R7 Quad Mini sports a satin Infinity Carbon Crown to shave off extra grams on top.

Those weight savings are then reinvested where they matter most—further lowering the centre of gravity for better ball flight and adjustability.

The look is downright suave, with a clean black crown accented by red, white, and yellow nods that whisper nostalgic R7 charm instead of shouting it.

Proven Performance Tech

Alongside the adjustable weighting, the driver features TaylorMade’s Twist Face™—a modern staple that helps reduce misses and maintain more consistent ball flight on mishits.

A Speed Pocket™ boosts face flexion and rebound, enhancing launch and ball speed (particularly for shots struck low on the face). Let’s just say, if you’re prone to the occasional thin contact, you’ll enjoy a bit of extra forgiveness.

Complete Package: Shaft and Cover

TaylorMade paired the R7 Quad Mini head with the Fujikura Speeder MD (Mini Driver) shaft, engineered to keep spin at a manageable level without feeling like a steel beam in your hands.

And yes, the headcover is a stylish throwback too, complete with the original R7 logo and a black base accented by those familiar red, white, and yellow tones.

“The R7 Quad Mini Driver is the perfect canvas for innovation and style. Featuring four movable TAS (Trajectory Adjustment System) weights, our newest Mini Driver gives golfers the ability to adjust shot shape and maximise performance off the tee and from the deck. It also features our most trusted technologies like the Infinity Carbon Crown and Twist Face™, providing the ultimate suite of playability and versatility in a single package.”
