Tmac knows a good brand when he sees one. Just look at his sig. He doesn't need taylormade chopper technology to hit a ball straight.I have owned a few Taylormade drivers, and whilst they were ok IMO they were nothing special. The 2 best drivers I have used have been produced by smaller although not unknown companies.

Nickent and Tour edge. Note that in Australia those two manufactures are pretty unknown. Every second golfer I see these days here in Oz has a taylormade in the bag. Some guys have the whole bag. I think the reason for this is the obviously huge advertising budget that Taylormade have. Taylor made r9.

I'm dying to catch some sheep phucker on the course with one. When i get done she'll be on the red tees where the bi.tch belongs. Omen, never ceased to be amazed by the CHOPPER MAGNETS produced by TM the only exception is the TM TP BURNER. Nothing adjustable and as far as i can tell it's a legit driver.

But one is suspect if they bag anything TM. Omen has spoken.

And he is still trying to find a 460cc driver that doesnt make some loud as.s fairy tink sound when hit. Like the 905t only 460cc and newer than the R although it seems the R is the only option. Wish the D4 were more affordable. Taylor made r9. I'm dying to catch some sheep phucker on the course with one. When i get done she'll be on the red tees where the bi.tch belongs.

You need to find the middle of the face omen it sounds better. The new R9 is overrated and a bit janky.

I got to personally hit the R9 3 days before release and I stroked 3 different lofts of 3 different drivers and caused the poor brand new R9 to rattle like a baby toy. Yes my my friend they all rattled after I was done with the 3 contestants of the Taylormade family. I would suggest that you try the new Nike Dynamo, or the new Cleveland Monster, even the new Adams Speedline is a good pick. The R9 is a No go team for me. The best driver made bye Taylormade is either the old R580, or the recently new CGBmax driver.

But then again this is only my opinion. The new R9 is overrated and a bit janky.

I was waiting for you to tell us how you caved the faces in. Good to see your absence hasn't diminished your supply of bullshitt, all the same.

At least your consistent. The gimmicky Taylormade R9 allows golfers to change loft, lie and close or open the face. Is it too gimmicky? Speak out GR.Not so much gay but it involves too much farting about. I have just come back from a fitting session that took just under 2 hours.

Under the expert eye of my club pro we arrived at a driver that fitted me like a comfy pair of carpet slippers. A ping G15 12 degree in regular. Every shot straight or with a little draw. Lovely (and not gay in the slightest, unlike the Under Armour compression long johns I also bought. The gimmicky Taylormade R9 allows golfers to change loft, lie and close or open the face. Is it too gimmicky?

Speak out GR.I,m going with gimmicky. I bought the Limited 3 interchangable shafts ozik, fuji, diamana I could only hit the fuji it was heavier, and it felt horrible with slight distance loss, over my than r7 tp 425 9.5 rombax stiff, great club, which I still have, wont sell. The tour burner tp with a rombax I currently bag is a very workable, or straight club, hard to keep, from working the ball, its so easy. I,m sure theres longer, easier, straighter.

So the R9,IS GAYCRAP.Thats is probably why I see alot of tour burners still being played. Sooner I,m no long ball hitter, but when I hit the screws, usually when my foursome on the first tee bets me you cant hit him, at a flat goat track 295 to the green, I drive the fringe 290 routinely, There done putting, one guy was on his cell phone, recently hes pickin up his ball. For a keg of blue moon beer 150.00 us and come close a few more times.

And, technically, if you 'open' the face, all you have to do is hold the club with the label further left and you close it again. And the inverse. What can you do with an adjustable hosel that you can't do by holding the grip in a different spot? In the good old days, players would 'open or close' the face WITH THEIR HANDS BY REGRIPPING.

Who needs a freakin' adjustable hosel? Still don't get the loft thing. 7 months on and the R9 is still as gay as ever. I actually think these adjustable drivers do more harm than good.

Thhey provide the temptation of constantly tweeking them every time you have an off day, meaning you can never really settle into a consistent rhythm with the driver. Personally I think the way to go is just get a driver properly fitted, and don't touch it again, unless your results over a long period suggest you need some adjustments like a shaft change. But going from open to closed then back to open face, or changing the loft up and down, or even moving the weights around, is golfing hari kari IMO. I think the new fitting options are great if you have a launch monitor and a good club fitter.

Just changing the shaft, lie, loft, ect. On the range without hard data is somewhat of a joke. I doubt tour pro's are going to need this flexibility because every club they get is fitted there is no to little need to change it. If there is you just have the tour van build you another. While the weekend warrior hack that is getting lessons and changing their swing has the ability to start with a driver that is reasonable fit to their swing and change it as they get better. While I'm not a fan of TM I can see the benefit for the ability to change these aspects of the club and have witnessed a good fitter get better results by changing the characteristic of the club. Especially the amount the club is open or closed.

The gimmicky Taylormade R9 allows golfers to change loft, lie and close or open the face. Is it too gimmicky? Speak out GR.There are a few guys in my regular group game that always seem to have the latest Taylormade products. One guy has the new R9 and he doesn't hit it any better than his R7 Limited (which I didn't think he hit well at all). The other guy has the new R9 TP irons. Really, the only difference in any of these irons is inside the cavity.

Personally, I think the R7 TP irons look better than the R9 TP. There are a few guys in my regular group game that always seem to have the latest Taylormade products.

Really, the only difference in any of these irons is inside the cavity. Personally, I think the R7 TP irons look better than the R9 TP.But the Ping eye2 irons are better than all of them right? I don't know what the big deal with TM is, every other player on the course has a Burner or an r7 or r9.I tried hitting all of them and my g10 is far and away the best driver for me personally.

The new R9 TP irons would have to be the ugliest, hackerest looking clubs ever to wear the TP badge. The R7 TP was pushing it right to the limit, but the R9 has gone right over the edge. I cannot imagine a single TM tour player bagging these monstrosities, unless you include front bums and guys on the colostomy bag tour, who are probably lining up to get their hands on these shovels.

Any guy from the regular PGA Tour who turned up on the first tee with a set of these would be the laughing stock of the tour and would seriously struggle to get a practice round with other players.

So idk they arent too bad. When you put them down on the ground at address, it's hard to tell the diff between these and previous models. As to size, I was on a range recently and put an R7 TP iron down next to my Adams Idea Pro Forged.

The R7 was smaller. And the R9 is smaller than THAT. Very pro looking, if you keep your eyes averted from the back of the clubhead.I agree with summations of how they look at address, but the fact is you can't go 18 holes with them in the bag without viewing the back of the clubhead.

And as we all know on GR, how they look in the bag is THE most important factor in deciding what to bag. Maybe you could get head covers for them, but as we also know on GR, headcovers on irons is the number 1 b!tchmove.
