"New Classic" Clubhead Shape with Ultra-Thin Wall Technology
The R9 driver features a new clubhead shape that merges modern and classic lines with incredible effectiveness. It's best described as a cross between the r7 SuperQuad and the r7 Limited – a triangular shape with beautifully contoured corners. TaylorMade calls it "New Classic" because it is at once modern and traditional, and should prove to be popular for a long time to come. The triangular shape offers four distinct advantages: 1) it allows for a deep back, far-from-the-face CG location that makes it easier to launch the ball; 2) it contributes to a higher MOI for greater stability on off-centre hits; 3) it allows for an exceptionally low CG location that's lower than that of the r7 Limited and the r7 SuperQuad; and 4) it works more efficiently with MWT, allowing it to use only three ports and cartridges to more effectively influence trajectory than the r7 SuperQuad could with four.

The R9 clubhead is constructed with the aid of TaylorMade's Ultra-Thin Wall (UTW) technology, which allows for clubhead walls measuring as thin as 0.6 millimeters, with the saved weight redistributed to make both MWT and the low-and-deep CG possible.
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 (HIT) 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."
The R9 driver is offered in 8.5, 9.5, and 10.5 degree lofts (9.5 and 10.5 left-handed), and in X, S, R and M shaft flexes. The recommended retail price is £349, €449* and availability will begin on March 23, 2009.
The R9 TP driver is offered in 8.5, 9.5, and 10.5 degree lofts (9.5 and 10.5 left-handed), and in X, S, and R shaft flexes. The recommended retail price is £399 and €499* and availability will begin on March 23, 2009. According to Taylormade the R9 is 'the best driver' they've ever produced. The jury is still out on that one right now as we have yet to hit it but expect to see an exclusive first hit video of the new TaylorMade R9 driver very shortly right here on http://www.todaysgolfer.co.uk/.
