TaylorMade R9 Driver hits the fairways
May 1st, 2009 by hole high
New out the box this spring comes the much awaited TaylorMade R9 Driver.
What makes this driver such an innovation is it’s ability to be customised beyond belief. Never before has a golf driver been launched that claims to be the most customisable club ever produced. Most of us golfers are well aware of the original R7 Quad that was released a few years back with its movable weights in the head of the club.
Well now Taylor Made have gone one step further and it is now possible to completely remove the head from the shaft. This technology is not new as interchangeble heads and shafts were launched last year. Where the TaylorMade R9 Driver differs is that you can do all the necessary customisation with just one head and one shaft. The tip of the new R9 driver has a sleeve that can be twisted to one of eight different positions to give the desired loft and lie angle. Adjusting the special sleeve on the shaft tip will alter face angle giving a closed, open or square face. Combined with the removable weights in the head a combination of 24 different flight characteristics can be obtained. More than enough I would have thought keep the most equipment obsessed golf happy for many an hour.
