TaylorMade Golf R9 Driver... The next revolution in golf club adjustabilityWhat sets the R9™ driver apart from all other drivers is that it incorporates our new TaylorMade Flight Control Technology, or FCT for short. With a simple twist of a wrench, FCT allows you to change the R9's face angle, loft and lie angle.
FCT + MWT = Total Adjustability: What makes the R9 driver totally adjustable as opposed to partially adjustable is that it unites FCT with MWT. The clubhead features three weight ports and comes equipped with one 16-gram and two 1-gram weights. Put the heavy weight in the heel port to promote a draw, in the toe port to promote a fade, and in the middle port to promote a straight flight.
The combined effect of FCT and MWT gives golfers an amazing amount of influence over their trajectory, and gives the R9 driver a tremendous advantage over other drivers. TaylorMade testing indicates that the R9 driver promotes up to 75 yards of side-to-side trajectory change, depending upon how the clubhead characteristics are set and the weights are configured.
Do the math on the multiple settings made possible by combining FCT with MWT: Eight clubhead positions made possible by FCT multiplied by three MWT configurations: 8 x 3 = 24. Twenty-four drivers with the purchase of one club!
The TaylorMade r9 driver and
TaylorMade r9 Fairways include a new white wrench that must be used with both the FCT bolt and the movable weights.
TaylorMade Golf R9 Driver Features:
Inverted Cone Technology: The R9 driver also incorporates TaylorMade's renowned Inverted Cone clubface technology, which expands the area of the clubface that delivers high ball speed. Characterized by an inverted cone that's milled directly onto the inner side of the clubface, Inverted Cone Technology increases the R9's forgiveness on mis-hits. The combination of the R9 driver's Inverted Cone Technology, high MOI and exceedingly low CG makes it incredibly easy to hit.
New Fujikura Motore: Graphite shaft with High Inertia Tip (H.I.T.™) Technology, The R9 driver comes equipped with a brand new shaft by Fujikura Golf. The 65-gram Fujikura Motore graphite shaft is engineered with a new, advanced tip construction that promotes faster ball speed. Called High Inertia Tip (H.I.T.) technology, it's characterized by an optimally designed tip architecture that promotes added kick through the impact zone to promote increased ball speed and distance.
The Most Advanced Driver in TaylorMade History: "When you consider the extraordinary list of technologies and innovations that make up the R9, the undeniable conclusion is that this is the most advanced driver TaylorMade has ever created," said Harry Arnett, TaylorMade's senior category director for equipment. "More important is how those technologies work together to make the R9 driver perform. It's forgiving and easy to hit. Its total adjustability makes it easy to tune its characteristics to best fit the player, the course, the weather, etc. TaylorMade started making adjustable golf clubs five years ago with the r7 quad. Clearly, we've come a long, long way since then."
