Supersonic TaylorMade R9 SuperTri Driver Reviewmysurbuy / 2010-08-17

TaylorMade R9 SuperTri driver

TaylorMade R9 SuperTri driver combines the best of the original R9 driver with the best of the R9 460 driver to deliver a club that offers a maximum sized driver that delivers incredible distance and wonderful forgiveness. As well as boasting the maximum 460cc head the R9 SuperTri also features the winning combination of Flight Control Technology (FCT) and Movable Weight Technology (MWT).

 

The combination of FCT, MWT, and a 460cc head allow for a number of improvements over last year's versions. First off, the new TaylorMade R9 SuperTri Driver launches the ball higher, and with more spin, thanks to the center of gravity being located two millimeters further back than in last year's model. Effectively, the higher launch and increase in spin can leads to more distance over the original R9 and R9 460. Like the original, TaylorMade says that the golfer can change his shot shape up to 75 yards laterally.

 

As far as forgiveness goes, the Inverted Cone Technology is still present, expanding the hotter area of the face that will produce a fast ball speed and getting the player further down the fairway, even on off center contact. The crown has also been reshaped in an effort to reduce air drag as the head cuts through the air on its way to the ball. It does this despite the fact that the face of the TaylorMade R9 SuperTri driver is the deepest of any MWT TaylorMade driver to date, measuring a full 62mm. All of these qualities are well and good, but what will most likely catch your attention first is the dark color scheme of the head. Reminiscent of the r7 SuperQuad, the SuperTri has a gorgeous black PVD clubface that works beautifully with the primarily black sole.

 

The stock model features the Fujikura Motore 60-gram shaft, which complements the idea of reducing the weight of the club. Being five grams lighter than last year's Motore isn't the only thing special about this shaft; it also helps to increase distance by giving the club a higher launch angle as well as an increase in spin rate.

 

Overall, with the TaylorMade R9 SuperTri driver you can shape your shot as you wish. These golf clubs can be adjusted for the games of any golfers.
