TaylorMade R9 Irons | Review

[ConnorandTyler]

hey mark, Im thinking of getting new irons. I would like to get the mizuno mp-53, but i dont have alot of money to spend. Is there a huge difference between the mp-53 and the r9?

Thanks.

i love my new R9 iron. longer 10yards than others, and easier to swing.

[93hickey]

I tried these irons for one round and hated every moment of it. they are without a doubt the worst irons i have ever used. you get absolutely NO distance control whatsoever, i would advice everyone to steer well clear of these irons

[TheeFreakiishlyz]

@93hickey 1 round =/= a reason to recommend everyone avoid these... Takes couple rounds to properly get used to new irons.

@93hickey you cant judge clubs on 1 round of golf!! plus if you are the good golfer that you think you are, you would be able to hit any club well! The r9s are great irons and have improved my game alot, the fact that you had one bad game of golf doesn't mean that the club is terrible it means your game was off that day.

Wud these be good for an intermediate player such as an 11 handicap

[elanlover94]

i think these clubs look sweet..im getting my set tomorrow. im pummped..quite and upgrade from Nike CPR's lol

[SpeedyGolfCart77]

Its very easy to hit these far:)

[MrCircus177]

I love my R9's, and yes they do look a bit odd.

[beaniewhite]

im torn between either the r9s or the mizuno mx 100s i seem to get a high trajectory and lack distance any help would be much apreciated

[petergriffin4224]

@beaniewhite im feeling the same way, im checking both them out tomorrow at dickssportinggoods ill let u know then

[NiitroChiZz]

Those or the titleist ap1irons?

[A5iaNatorTV]

The look of the R9 Irons varies from person to person. The traditional look is appealing to some. Others prefer something like a Burner 2.0's look - a little more junk in the trunk.

i have been playing golf for about 3 months and i am already playing of a handicap 18, would you recommend these for me :)

cheers

[emanuelquijada17]

@jordanlawrence96 how serious are you about golf

[MultiDrewdrew]

what handicap are these for?

[1010uk]

i have set of these and a set of ap2's all i can say is im a low single figure handicapper yes i love my ap2 irons but these are very good . if i needed to choose between the 2 sets i would take these ,they just make the game easier if your not on your game

[KidxtfGolfer]

what is better taylormade r9 irons or 09 burners

[DeTr0iTiGeRs]

@KidxtfGolfer based on this guys videos:

1.33 smash 111mph 09 burner

1.28 smash ?mph r9

I think the r9 is probably a little better on the golf course, but if you are looking for distance and its a little cheaper 09 burners are a great choice too. I haven't got to try either one out, but thats what the verdict seems to be from most reviewers.

[rickygnr]

@KidxtfGolfer r9 has much more of a blade feel to them you really have to hit them both

[FDNYEMS55]

I've been in the market for new irons for awhile. Yesterday I ordered the R9's w/ -2 degrees flat and the KBS 90 shafts. I spent 2 hours with the local shop doing swing analysis, etc. and it came down to the R9, the Ping I15's, the Adams Idea A7's, and the Mizuno MX's. It was a tough decision, but as the video says, the R9 has that extra edge in distance and smash factor. Can't wait to get these on the course.

[ReviewGolfer31]

i find the Ap1's a little chunky on the topline but so do the R9's

[jacolbe0023]

I noticed the smash factor was pretty similar to the burner 09 irons. Do you have an estimate on the spinrate of the R9's compared to the Titleist AP1's? Which would you prefer the r9's or the Titleist AP1's?
