Those of us who have tried the current TaylorMade R9 on the market it just isn't the longest and compared to the previous TaylorMade driver models in some cases has been noted to be shorter.

And it is now a very good chance to find discount golf prices in many online golf shops for it is around Christmas.
It features an overall lighter weight, low deeper center of gravity design and a 45.75" length. The combo of these assets creates a club that is easier to hit and produce a faster swing speed with more carry and distance. Of course this driver still features the same FCT setup that theR9 is so famous for, this is simply a package for golfers who have less ego and want more pop to their driver.
The best thing about the TaylorMade R9 Max driver Japan Model is how adjustable it is and in many cases by adjusting to your specs creates more distance but for the golfer who has his/her swing in tune the carry is a bit lacking to some.
