The Best Driver: TaylorMade R9 SuperTri, R9 SuperTri TP Drivers

The Best Driver: TaylorMade R9 SuperTri, R9 SuperTri TP Drivers

From Sports Illustrated Golf+ Equipment Issue (February 8, 2010)
The R9 SuperTri Driver 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 2010)
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 R9 460, 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 R9 460’s. The face is also the deepest TaylorMade has ever produced.

According to TaylorMade, the eight different face-angle settings combine with the three adjustable weights (two 1-gram weights and one 16-gram weight) to give the SuperTri up to 75 yards of left-or-right adjustability. In addition, as golfers adjust the face to be more closed, effective loft is added, which increases the launch angle. Adjusting the face to be more open decreases effective loft for a lower trajectory.

The R9 SuperTri will be available in four lofts (8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5°, 11.5°) and come standard with a Fujikura Motore 60-gram shaft in one of five flexes (L, M, R, S, X). The R9 SuperTri TP features the same head with a choice of 10 premium shafts, including the Aldila Voodoo, Mitsubishi Fubuki and Matrix Ozik.

New Arrival-Extraodinary Performance Golf Clubs Review

Article by discountgolfprice







Have you ever considered how important the golf clubs is as part of your golf equipment? There is a propensity for less inexperienced golfers to go out and by the biggest and meanest looking club in the golf shop but if it doesn’t suit your style, mainly your swing speed then you will be heading off into the trees in search of your ball more often than not following a tee shot. Now I will list serval golf clubs in the following context which can help you to promote your performance.

NO.1 Honma Beres BP-1010 Putter

All new models feature: 1, A central gravity point, using computer-aided-design to calculate weight distributon

2, Lasered grooves on the face to provide more consistent roll.

NO.2 Mizuno JPX AD Irons

Mizuno like many manufacturers have moved away from the titanium face to a maraging face on their GI irons which provide as hot feel and very good ball speeds. The JPX AD Maraging features a large pocket cavity and wide sole. This automatic iron is made for maximum forgiveness and distance.The JPX Forged has always been a forged automatic model for the average golfer and the new JPX Forged are no different as they seem to sport an even thicker topline that previous models. Mizuno however has continued not to use a pocket cavity for the forged model to maintain the soft feel.

NO.3 TaylorMade R9 SuperDeep TP Driver

The Taylor Made R9 SuperDeep TP driver features a 460cc head with an ultra-deep face and is designed to be a pure player’s driver. It includes both Flight Control Technology (FCT) and Movable Weight Technology (MWT) with two movable weights, allows for up to an astonishing 448 combinations of ball flight. Its more forward center of gravity and lower MOI increase its shot-shaping capability.
