TaylorMade R9 Driver

[ChuugyGolf]

can you change the loft(10.5 to 9.5??

[MrGolffather]

Thumbs up i you wanna have this driver after watching the video :D

[Gyro911]

This is stupid just hit the damn ball and shape the shot with proper technique

[ghettokaiba]

Thats not true and not that simple.When the pro's have their clubs made they have a team of engineers and scientist add weights and make adjustments based on physics to correct their flaws.They want us to believe it's that simple.

[ghettokaiba]

Our clubs are merely replicas of what they use on tv.

[MrYogibear88]

pull the shaft out of the head. thats got to hurt.

[Klistern2]

I bought this driver, have never changed it from neutral, whats the point in changing the head settings if you cant do it for every club in the bag, fix your swing first. The settings are really just a gimmick, trying to trick people into thinking it will improve their game, itll probably just confuse you even more lol, also its kind of stiff near the head.

[greatadsplus]

@Klistern2 The settings are not 'just a gimmick'. Some players prefer a closed face, others an open face, etc., What's more you can adjust the weights to change the swing weight to suit the shaft you're using. And you can position them to make the head toe or heal 'heavy'. If your swing or preferences change, you can make adjustments to suit. No need to buy another driver. I have the Superdeep version and have set it up just the way I like it, resulting in a driver that suits me to a 'tee'. :)

[LeftyLP80]

these things are making golf less of a sport....i think you should be able to draw the ball without fancy drivers

[baseballjock30]

i have the r9 and i consistently catch the ball square in the face but everytime i come through the ball the impact feels like im catching the ball thin... could this be the club or just my swing?

[greatadsplus]

@baseballjock30 The sweet spot is a bit above centre

[supertommy33]

the nike sq dymo str8-fit driver is the same exact thing and i lioke it better :) and its half the price!!!!!

[saltifish]

A very very over priced driver that wont improve your ability at all.. Dont be fooled into thinking better equipment will make you a better golfer.. if yr set up and swing are improved you'll do fine with an average driver. Yr money would be better spent on some golf lessons.

[hendrixreborn7475]

i have 17 degree 4 wood r9

can someone tell me how to make it a 15 degree

[jonnyismint987]

@hendrixreborn7475 take it to pro shop but they probably wont do it

[1951dmohan]

this is is very useful video

[2xchrome]

I crush balls with the new r9 460. Awesome club. NU setting dialed me in perfect. Best money I ever spent, well I once bought a coffee from irvine coffee and that was pretty good too!

[xtrememachead]

Its not that durable if you hit it far... I went and Demo-d one and it broke the shaft sleeve... The Super Quad goes further..

[cgasucks]

"The most advanced driver Taylormade ever made"

That's what they said when the R5 series came out..

[rattlers678]

duh, it keeps getting better. its called business.

[cgasucks]

Tell that to Retief Goosen...who's still using an R7 Superquad...tell that to KJ Choi who's using an R7 Ltd...tell that to Loren Roberts who's still using an R5 Series driver...duh...

[rattlers678]

not everyone is going to use the same club..... im pretty sure its the most used driver on the tour.

[cgasucks]

I'm not arguing with you with that one...the R9 is the probably the most used club on tour...but mostly because they were paid to do so...like they did way back when the 300 series came out...but still there's some players that use drivers that are discontinued because it works for them...

[penguinbmx]

Is the motore shaft stock for reg or tp?

[d4nnydud3122]

just pull out a classic wooden wood for fuck's sake!

[Blagnord]

the perfect driver for anyone with attention deficit disorder

[wackitandjackme]

anytime you buy a driver stick with cobra taylormade cause they are the best made to improve your game and will last longer you can never go wrong with either ping and nike you will go wrong with and jazz golf are reasonable clubs and are really good quality for an advance beginner or ladies or even a middle intermediate

[Jorge10x]

the best driver

[Th3EliteGam3r]

opening the face face lofts it to 10.5

[AsanMaeng]

I'm confused by the face adjustment thing...why not just turn the club a bit?

[Nate2203]

that's what I've been wondering ever since I saw this thing.

[EVH4President09]

the nike str8 fit is a lot better and more cheap the r9 is still a good club though

[lynch390]

This driver is definitely better.

[sicknastygolf]

lol i found an r9 driver with its headcover stuck to apricker bush on a trial at my local golf course

[LeftyLP80]

@sicknastygolf did you take it and keep it?

[emoney1969]

so does opening the face to the "right" position decrease the loft to an 8.5?

[SupraTuner2323]

if it says 9.5* on club it will be at 8.5* with open face.

[Ddarkius1295]

this is not long? i'd say it's the longest driver from tee on the market.

[cdelviscio]

i getting mine for free

[livegolf28]

how? do u hav a relative that works for taylormade or something?

[HeadHunter92294]

This seems like a waste of money, If you are hitting slice/hook just do some more practicing and get your swing in order, also I do hear that the weight system doesn't affect your shot as much as the correctness of your swing, I have a 2006 R7 Draw and it cost way less than the R9 and I hit it very very well

[lynch390]

It's an expensive driver. But me being not a huge golfer, and working at a golf course, he gave it to me for $325.00. I figured Taylormade was the best option. I also get free golf, which helps.

[dylan26au]

why tell people to practice your swing rather than get a club that you can adjust to suit your game? You have an r7 draw!WTF. Practice your swing

[REEBOKNATS48]

i want a r9 sooo bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[justy1551]

they go real straight BUT they arent that long i would recommend titleist 909d2 or callaway ftiq two best drivers in the world!!

[wisgolfer101]

r u kidding me i gained 10 yds right off the bat w/ this thing!

[gobbypower]

ya i lov the r9 but i dont really play with the settings on it haha

but i almost like the nike sq2 5900, bc its so big and comfortable to hit

[bRunOO69]

guys remember that the club can not be adjusted or modified in anyway in rcga or usga tournaments ... so technically its poitles for the weights but a very solid club i love it!

[Holiver31]

no its not pointless,,,the whole point of the weights is to customize it to your swing, not to change it whole by whole. Which yes would be illegal

[HeadHunter92294]

hole by hole you mean.

[Holiver31]

yes i mean hole by hole,,my bad

[yashank1]

how's the sound of it?

is it that blasting or hollow sound like the previous one's?

the callway's have great sound on contact

[lynch390]

In my opinion, it's a nice sound. Would you say it's one of the best drivers out?. For $325 CA, is that good?

[italianmafia100]

Or you could just move your feet lol

It seems like a pain trying to adjust it all the time and someone will prob forget its set to the left and tee of and it will go into the forest

[dijkstra14]

I;m going to buy this one!! I'm going to buy a whole new set this year, and this will be my master piece, what amazing technology!!!

[TWOCRUNK4U]

this driver looks great. i had the r7 in two models and now i have the new burner but now i want this r9.

[krncremin]

get it. its like hitting a cannon off the tee.

[BlindKill13]

you would think if he is doing a video on a (taylor made) club he would wear a taylor made t-shirt

[marcp1293]

hes wearing adidas...... which is taylormade

[krncremin]

youre not very clever are you? lol

[paulmichel2k1]

these driver sucks i hit my r7 super squad way buter thene the r9 is it me or the driver u tell me

[WestBromSte]

and you have tried the r9 how ?!

[TGgolfer13]

its been out for like a month

[WestBromSte]

is that in america ??

im pretty sure it hasnt been out long in england

[TGgolfer13]

yea it came out on march 9th here

[krncremin]

R9 is class. Super club. I gained around 30 yards from my old driver which was an R360 which was made illegal coz u cud hit it so far. It looks savage as well. im really happy with it. Best driver iv ever hit.

[pmc820]

pre ordered!! i can't wait!

[deucealldaylong]

I am to. There is a lot of good pics and info on GolfWRX . The thread shows a bunch of good tips.

[MacManLtd]

I'm sooo excited for this driver, I didn't expect Nick Faldo to do the demonstration. He did a good job though.
