Change the 16 in the heel with the 12 in the center and you will see a slight higher ball flight as the center of gravity is lowered and the draw will be slightly lower as well. The changes are not very significant but you may notice a slight change.

Adding weight to the heel is what will help reduce your slice. Setting the face to the R setting is 2 degrees closed so with the heel weight you will get the max draw setting the club is capable of producing.

If you set the FCT up for a draw you are adding loft to the club. If you set the FCT on one of the fade bias options it will effectively decrease the loft. Also, if you add the heaver weights in the MWT port AWAY from the center of gravity which is the rear port you will also see a lower ball flight.

Bob, the Taylor Made R9 driver has 8 head positions you can set by lining up the arrow on the driver head with the desired ssetting. Each "notch" on the shaft can be locked in place to promote the needed ball flight. You must first loosen the shaft from the head and rotate to the desired setting, then place the shaft back into the fitting to lock in place.

Hello,

Anonymous
05/31/2009 11:46 AM
Thank you for your question.
Is it worth testing out? Absolutely. Will the 9.5 give you a more penetrating ball flight is the question. Most golfers would kill to have more hang time but I know how you feel. I was in the same boat at one time and tested different lofts much like you. I ended up staying with the higher loft though. I would test it prior to officially making a move.

Mid Handicap Golfer: Howard

If you are not a low handicap golfer, where you play can make a lot of difference in driver loft choices. In the northern US. especially on the plains, wind can be a huge factor in driver loft effect. We have 160 yd par 3's where 10/12 handicap golfers are using drivers straight into a 35 mph wind. I use a 9.5 TM Burner draw. But I have a Titlist 10.5 I take to Phoenix (low or no wind) and FL (tree lined courses). High trajectory on windy links courses can really beat you up with a high loft. //
Mid Handicap Golfer: Don
10/12/2009 12:47 PM
In general, the 9.5 degree will tend to give a lower ball flight. However, the shaft also contributes to launch angle. Find a Golf shop that has a simulator that can measure your swing path, launch angle, club-head speed, ball speed, spin and distance. With this information, your Pro can tell you if you need a different club, or just a new shaft.

Anonymous
05/27/2009 9:43 PM
The best way to combat that pull hook you have is to set the club as far open as possible. Your swing is causing you to pull it and by "coming over the top" of the ball your are generating hook spin. You will still generate that spin with this setting, but the results will be better. For a lefty, set the FCT to the L setting which is 2 degrees open at address.

Thank you for your inquiry. The TP shaft that would best fit you is the new Fuji shaft, the Motore F1. If you like the 757 the F1 75 would be the way to go. The VooDoo is a great shaft and if you were in the NV version or the VS version the 75 gram variety would probably fit you better.

My driver swing speed is 90mph, straight ball flight, and using the Burner driver, I need a stiff shaft.

Swing speeds do not always reflect the correct shaft for your swing. It's only a generic number but is a good starting point.

Ron, thanks for inquiring about your Taylor Made R9 driver. Most golfers in your handicap range will have a tendency to slice the ball and if that is the case with you I suggest setting your club to the L setting for a high draw ball flight. This setting will reduce your tendency to slice the ball, increase your carry, and lower your spin rates which hopefully help you hit more fairways.

Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are putting too much spin on the ball causing that high ball flight with liitle to no roll. My suggestion is that when changing to the R9 which has a heavier shaft, which will decrease the height of your ball flight, also set up the head in the open face angle (R) to reduce the "effective" loft also generating a lower launch.

Can the back weight of the R9 fairway woods be changed? If so, will increasing this weight change ball flight higher?
Thank you.

Joel, the R9 fairway woods do not have interchangeable weights to adjust ball flights as the driver does. You can adjust the lie and face angle only. Thanks again and play well!

how much does the loft increase if you move the setting from nu to the next setting to the right towards the L? thanks

Thank you for your question. The "effective loft" which is the adjustable loft based on face angle varieties varies from 1 degree from the basic loft of the club. If you took the loft of the stock 10.5 head you can increase the loft up to 11.5 by closing the face angle to the far L position and you can lower the loft to 9.5 degree by setting the angle to the far R position. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 1-800-372-2557. Thanks!

I have my R9 set @ one notch left of n. This seems to cause higher loft. Can I correct this by changing to one notch right of n ?

Yes, actually. The farther open you set your face angle the less loft the club will have. Please see the R9 picture with description of each setting as it appears on our website via the following link: http://www.golfballs.com/PC2855/Taylor-Made-R9-Driver.html#.

Are the weights from the R7 compatible with the R9?

Thank you for your question.
Yes, they are compatible with the R9. Also the Spider putter weights are also compatible.
I hope this helps. Great Question!

Thanks for your comment.
It sounds like you may want to look at the TP versions of their clubs. They tend to be square if not slightly open.
Play Well,

I'm a 20 hc...What loft should I buy..I have a Tour burner w/10.5 now...thx

To be honest I think you're pretty spot on for your loft. There is no set loft you should use..... It's all based upon your individual swing. I'd be curious on how you would do with an 11.5 Degree club also.
Play Well,

Regarding the R9, if I set it at NU, visually, the L is positioned to the right of NU, and the R is positioned to the left. If I want it draw biased while at NU, do I move it toward the L or the R?
Anonymous

Thank you for your question. Positioning the shaft toward the L will promote draw biased ball flight for the Taylor Made R9. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks!

Tell me the difference between R9 and R9 TP Taylormade drivers. Is it the variations of shafts you can get for the TP Tony Umstead
Anonymous

Tony thank you for your question. The only difference in the TP vs Regular version is the shaft options. The TP driver is stocked with high performance shafts designed for higher clubhead speeds and added ball control. Before the R9 Taylor Made would offer a seperate head also, but the adjustable R9 Driver using Taylor Made's FCT will allow any user to convert a stock setup to a tour preferred setup. Please contact us at 1-800-372-2557 if you have any further questions. Thanks.

On the new R9, what is the max & mim degree you can change to? I'm hitting a 7.5% at this time and wonder how low the R9 will go. Thanks.

Thank you for your question regarding the Taylor Made R9 Driver. The "MWT"(moveable weight technology) technology comined with the "FCT" (flight control teachnology) Taylor Made offers up to 75 yards of controlable ball flight. The more draw bias the club is set as the higher the loft will increase. If you are to set your club to promote a fade the effective loft will decrease. The lowest possible combination is the 8.5 degree head set to open will offer you the least amount of loft possible. Th

Roy,
You really shocked us with that question! No one knew, Taylor Made barely knew! But we did find out. The R stands for "Revolutionary"! Cudos to you for a great question!

when should a person go to the senior flex?
Anonymous

Thank you for your question.
It all depends on your swing speed. If your swing speed falls below 90mph then you may want to consider it. But everything is subjective..... I've known plenty of seniors that still swing a stiff flex driver even though they shouldn't. It's just what they are comfortable with.
Play Well,

Just wondering if the R9 can be adjusted by the golfer on the tee box, or if you have the adjustments done when you buy it, and thats where it stays?
Anonymous

Thank you for your question.
You can change the R9 on the tee box if you so desire. When you purchase a R9 Driver you are given the appropriate tool to be able to do so.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I have a 10.50 degree R9, I wonder whether
the degree will change if I change from
N to Nu or L

Thank you for your question. Yes the loft does change when adjusting the face and lie angles. The loft will increase to higher loft when draw biased positioning is set. The variations starting at NU the L are the draw bias conditions.

Does the R9 conform to USGA and R and A rules? It seems that a player using an adjustable club would be in danger of having too many clubs in their bag, i.e. if I can adjust it to three different degr

thank you for your inquiry. yes the r9 is conforming to all regulations. the changes that can be made to the driver CANNOT be made during regulation play. adjusting the lie or face angle during play will result in penalty if playing under USGA rulings. all conditions must be set prior to teeing off to avoid penalty.

what exactly is the difference between the R7 and the R9? I have a couple of the R7 drivers and i couldnt ask for more,but just wandering what the difference is.thanks
Anonymous

Thank you for your inquiry. The r9 is the new series in the Taylor Made R family. The 2009 R9 has options that were not present to the r7 family of drivers. The new technology allows you to adjust the lie angle, loft, and face angle along with MWT (movable weight technology) to achieve the maximum amount of ball control available on the market. Please let me know if you have any further questions!

My avg club speed was measured to be 108 mph , should I be looking at a extra stiff shaft
Anonymous
02/21/2009 5:01 PM
That clubhead speed is considered to be high enough for an extra stiff. Typically speaking, anyone who can swing their driver 105+ should be in extra stiff.

which shaft is better between regular and stiff
Anonymous

Great Question. Everything is subjective to your swing though. Do you tend to swing slower or more quickly? The rule of thumb is that if your swing speed is slower than 95mph then you should probably get a regular flex driver and if your swing is over 100mph then you should probably get a stiff flex driver. That leaves a little grey area that you from 95 to 100 where you can use either flex.
I hope this helps.
