Quality of Taylormade R9 Driver, why It welcome

June 30, 2010 - PRLog -- TaylorMade golf Flight Control Technology (FCT)


Change the face angle, lie angle and loft to affect side-to-side flight by up to 40 yards – 8 different club head positions.


How to adjust the R9 - The R9 has a small metallic sleeve positioned over the tip of the shaft. The shaft is secured to the club head with a specially made bolt in the bottom of the club head. The FCT bolt is designed to be retained in the well to eliminate the chance of losing it. At the bottom of the sleeve is a ring of small, gear like teeth, which tightly mesh with a second ring of matching teeth within the hosel. You can change the club head's characteristics (face angle, loft, lie) by loosening the FCT bolt, removing the shaft from the head, rotating the sleeve and shaft into a specified position, then locking them into that position within the head with the FCT bolt.


Movable Weight Technology (MWT)


The R9 includes one 16-gram & two 1-gram changeable weights. This allows you to change the golf clubs center of gravity location to affect side-to-side flight by up to 35 yards. Put the heavy weight in the heel port to promote a draw, in the toe port to promote a fade, and in the middle port to promote a straight flight


FCT + MWT


Total adjustability for maximum flight control; up to 75 yards of side-to-side adjustability. Various multiple settings are made possible by combining FCT with MWT: Eight club head positions made possible by FCT multiplied by three MWT configurations: 8 x 3 = 24. 24 drivers in 1 club.


How about the reviews on it?


This is where I appreciated the club the most. Because of its smaller footprint it is easy to turn over. Unlike the larger heads I didn't feel like I needed make extra effort to get the club around. Very easy to release. That was a very welcomed improvement. Set up is super clean. Very straight forward. Again nothing NOT to like here.


The adjustability is as advertised. Changing the settings to open or closed made a big noticeable difference in the appearance. I prefer a opened look so I can mentally feel free in releasing the club. That was accomplished. When it was set up closed there that's exactly what the ball did. Go left. The advertising claims 75 yards of adjustability but I would about 2/3 of that. One would really have to put a different swing on the ball to get that extreme. Overall I would not say its over-hyped though.


Trajectory on the factory settings were about standard. Meaning this is not a lower or higher launching head. Very true to loft. Changing the weights to launch lower did drop the trajectory some and the spin the ball was getting but not extreme. I doubt the high rate of spin change that is marketed but there is some for sure. I will get on the LM over the weekend to play with it. But personally I would just screw in a different shaft if I wanted to modify ball flight that significantly. That being said when the wind picked up and I wanted to hit a more boring drive I was able to do so by changing the weights and NOT trying to hit a knockdown shot. So that was impressive.


No Distance increase that I could see. But it was not shorter than my other drivers either. Overall if you are looking for a smaller footprint in a driver with the adjustability I think its worth it for sure to get this driver. If you are looking for more distance or the "magic driver" save your money. I feel this product has a place in the TM line-up because of the smaller size, feel and adjustability. I think people will really like it if they buy it with this in mind.
