I found out some differences with the retail r7 and the r7 Quad TP beside the price and the shafts
A couple of other small differences.....
1/ The TP actually has three shaft options, (Fuji Speeder, Mitsubishis TM 70 LT and Fujikura SIX). There are no other options available even as a custom fit whereas the r7 Quad has all the same shaft options as the R500 series.
2/ The TP is a square to slightly open address while the Quad is slightly closed.
3/ The TP has a 0.335 tip while the Quad is a 0.350 tip. The 0.335 is said to offer the pros greater feel, while a 0.350 tip is standard for all retail stocks as it performs the same but is more resilient and snaps less!
4/ The TP face plate is made of a slightly different composition titanium, (this is an almost imperceptible difference!).
Head size and shape and the TLC weight ports are all the same. The standard weights in the head are also the same, (2 x 10gm, 2 x 2gm). The additional 8 cartridges means instead of the 6 launch conditions of the r7 Quad at the one swingweight, the TP offers you 883 different CG and swingweight combinations, ranging from C8 through to D8.
