The most advanced driver ever created by Taylor Made, this is a big statement knowing that the company has been at the fore front of driver technology maintaining a consistent presence at the top of golf club innovation.
The Taylor Made R9 Driver has clean lines and an aerodynamic shape very pleasing to the eye, although its strength is in the power that the Taylor Made R9 has as a result of the technology involved in its construction.
It utilizes a metal sleeve positioned over the tip of the shaft that can be rotated into 8 different positions, changing the characteristics of the club head. This settings control the draw and the fade, the flight of the ball.
The Taylor Made R9 driver has three ports for weight cartridges, two 1 gram cartridges and one 16 gram cartridges are included. Moving the heavy cartridge to a different port changes the trajectory of the ball.
Positioning more weight in the heel and less in the toe speeds the club head rotation during the forward swing promoting a draw and reducing a slice resulting in a right to left shot. To promote a left to right shot, you install the heavy cartridge in the toe port and to promote a straight shot you install the heavy cartridge in the back port. By moving the weighted cartridges the center of gravity can be optimized for each golfer with 3 different settings.
So here you have a golf driver that can be adjusted into 24 different settings, so instead of messing with your stance, you just adjust the head of your club and maybe move the weights around and now you have a driver that works for YOU.
