GOLF DRIVER TAYLORMADE R9 9.5 DEGREE DRIVER
TAYLORMADE R9 9.5 DEGREE DRIVER From Sports Illustrated Golf+ Equipment Issue (February ) The R9 SuperTri is the first driver to unify all of TaylorMade's major driver technologies in a maximum-sized, 460cc clubhead: Movable Weight Technology, Flight Control Technology, Inverted Cone Technology and Ultra-Thin Wall Technology. The head is sleeker than previous R9 heads, thanks to a reshaped crown that reduces wind resistance. Though the shape is more aerodynamic, the face is the deepest (62mm) TaylorMade has ever incorporated into a driver with Movable Weight Technology. From the Shop Blog (January ) The TaylorMade R9 driver featured a 420cc head, three movable weights and a system that allowed golfers to unscrew the clubhead and re-attach it to the shaft in one of eight different positions. Next came the bigger and more powerful R, which also featured the adjustable head but lacked the movable weights. Players who wanted a TaylorMade driver that combined a 460cc head with three movable weights and an adjustable face were out of luck... until now. TaylorMade is set to release the R9 SuperTri and R9 SuperTri TP drivers on February 19. The all-black head of the SuperTri is reminiscent of the r7 SuperQuad, which TaylorMade says was one of its most-popular clubs. From a performance standpoint, the 460cc head of the SuperTri is more forgiving that the original R9. Because the center of gravity has been moved lower and 2 millimeters back in the head, drives should launch higher with slightly more spin for greater carry distance. In fact, the center of gravity in the SuperTri is even slightly lower and farther back than the R's. The face is also the deepest TaylorMade has ever produced. Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
