Blend of the Best Tech TaylorMade R9 SuperTri Driver Review

The 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). Perhaps the SuperTri is the driver that blends the most technologies that you can buy in any golf shop so far.

 

TaylorMade says the R9 SuperTri clubhead offers better aerodynamics than previous R9 drivers through a redesigned crown, a deeper face, and center of gravity that is slight more rearward compared to previous generations of R9.

 

The stock shaft of the TaylorMade R9 SuperTri driver is the Fujikura Motore 60-gram shaft, which is lighter than shaft in previous R9 drivers. The results are a driver geared to help increase swing speed while promoting better launch conditions and more forgiveness on off-center strikes. The movable weights still offer, TaylorMade says, up to 75 yards in side-to-side trajectory changes (depending on the weight configuration used), and the FCT still gives golfers the ability to change face angle, loft and lie.

 

The TaylorMade R9 SuperTri driver unites four viable performance technologies: FCT, MWT, UTW and ICT. Never before have four such impactful, performance-enhancing technologies been combined so effectively in a single driver. Plus, there's the superior aerodynamics of the new crown shape. The SuperTri you will see in a golf shop is a bit steep in price, but shopping online will offer you much more options.
