The R7 Quad is the more forgiving of the two: a bigger head, 305cc against 280cc, with a weight setting TaylorMade gives for more forgiveness and another for a slight draw. It comes in 11.5°, 13.5° or 15.5°; the GT280 comes in 13° only, with a flatter sole Titleist built for tight lies, and Titleist has since replaced it with the bigger GTS300. Both are sold left- or right-handed, in regular to extra stiff.
TaylorMade's mini driver: a 305cc head with four movable weights. Both heavy weights at the back is TaylorMade's setting for more forgiveness; heel forward and toe back gives a slight draw. In 11.5°, 13.5° or 15.5°.
Titleist's 2025 mini driver, sold as a 2-wood: a 280cc head with a flatter sole for tight lies, in 13° only. Titleist pitched it on distance and control, not forgiveness.

The GTS300 is the forgiving one: Titleist sells it on forgiveness, with a bigger head, 305cc against 280cc, and its weight set deeper, which Titleist puts at about 15 to 20% more inertia, the head's resistance to twisting on a mishit.
