TaylorMade are responsible for some of the most iconic drivers of recent years, most notably the 510TP and the R7 425 TP, and have been at the fore-front of driver technology. Bag Chatter got to look at the R9 to see how it compares against these past classics and how well it fares against the competition who have not been standing still.
With its headshape the Taylormade R9 Driverhas been described as a combination of the classical shape of the R7 Superquad and the triangular R7 Limited in what TaylorMade are calling new classic'. While I'm not sure that I'd go that far, it is certainly a handsome club that looks well at all angles, particularly at set up. At only 420cc or thereabouts, the head is neat and compact and with its deep face has a smaller footprint at address even at the end of a 45 inch shaft that is shorter than the typical modern standard of 46 inches. The headcover is top quality and both comes off and goes on without any hassle a far cry from some 460cc driver headcovers.
Performance
TaylorMade's strapline for this is Adjust The Head. Adjust The Weight. Totally Optimize You' and you have to say that with the FCT and MWT technologies this is the most adjustable driver in the world. TaylorMade make a point of this by differentiating between Totally Adjustable' versus Partially Adjustable'. The first requires both moveable weights and an adjustable hosel while the second only has one or the other. The combination of FCT and MWT can be found in not just the R9 driver but also the fairway woods and the Rescue '09 TP hybrid.
