TaylorMade R9 Driver
Design and Technology
The newest addition to the TaylorMade driver line is, again, FCT or "Flight Control Technology." It's an interchangeable hosel that you affix to the clubhead by a screw that's not perfectly aligned with the shaft's axis. Rotating the hosel/shaft thus changes the angle at which the shaft enters the clubhead, and thus alters the club's face angle, loft, and lie.
The FCT sleeve is made from 7075-T6 aluminum alloy and is "ringed around the bottom with small teeth, which tightly mesh with a second ring of matching teeth within the hosel." You alter the R9 driver clubhead's face angle, loft angle, and lie angle by loosening the FCT bolt, removing the shaft from the head, rotating the sleeve and shaft into the specific position you desire, and then locking it all into position with the supplied wrench.
The R9 driver has a new clubhead shape that combines the shape of the r7 SuperQuad with the r7 Limited, which is a more triangular shape with "beautifully contoured corners." According to TaylorMade, " the triangular shape offers four distinct advantages:
>>TaylorMade r9 driver contributes to a higher MOI for greater stability on off-center hits.
>>It allows for a deep back, far-from-the-face CG location that makes it easier to launch the ball.
>>It works more efficiently with MWT, allowing it to use only three ports and cartridges to "more effectively influence trajectory than the r7 SuperQuad could with four."
>> It allows for an exceptionally low CG location that's lower than that of the r7 Limited and the r7 SuperQuad.
This TaylorMade R9 Driver, 9.5 degree, is the best driver I have owned thus far. I like the idea and confidence I have now knowing I can/am hitting more fairways, it is really a great driver.
Product still in original packaging! Exactly as described. Fast shipping! The R9 Driver came with my expectation, I like what you do for me, your service is realling give me great happy.
While trying r9 driver, the trajectory, however, was much lower, and the control I had was much improved. Good
I'm happy with my purchase of the TaylorMade r9 driver. It looks good, it plays good, it sounds good... and if it doesn't then you can adjust it. Most players will enjoy playing with this club and its definitely worth trying out
Yes, I know... using the words "best golf club for almost anyone" is probably an exaggeration, but with the ability to change so many different aspects of the club, you can tweak it to make it optimal for a majority of people's swings. I've been using a TaylorMade r580XD driver for quite a while, so I knew that if I ever planned to get another driver it would have to be TaylorMade r9.
