The 2009 R7 CGB Max Irons look very cutting edge. Given that they are TaylorMade, this is not very surprising. TaylorMade always seems to come up with high tech looking club offerings. From the textured black area on the backside of the clubface, to the black steel shafts…head to toe, these irons will look awesome in your bag.

The topline of the R7 CGB Max irons is pretty typical of today's super game improvement irons. It's rather thick and a little brighter looking than the more satin look of the Burner XD irons. Each iron pictured below is a 7 iron. If you are accustomed to playing blades or player type irons, you may be disgusted by such a thick topline…but…you probably aren't looking at irons like this anyway. Personally, it doesn't bother me. In fact, all that meat behind the ball…you really feel like you should have no problem walloping the ball with every swing.

Distance wise, TaylorMade 2009 R7 CGB Max Irons are a good 5-10 yards shorter than the Burner XD irons for me. They were pretty similar distance wise to the Callaway X-20 irons or the Nike Sumo irons. The long irons got up very high. The black steel shafts are very cool looking in person. The matte finish would be a plus for anyone who is bothered by sun reflections on conventional steel shafts. TaylorMade 2009 R7 CGB Max Irons are quite light, and in stiff flex, they felt relatively stout. The shaft's bend profile and light weight probably helped contribute to the high ball flight. The light weight should also help increase one's swing speed a little, contributing to a little increase in distance.
