TaylorMade R9 driver is well-known, so are the TaylorMade R9 Irons. R9 Irons live up to many expectations of golfers while TaylorMade R9 Forged Irons are made for mid-low handicap golfer. Like the R7, the clubface of TaylorMade R9 Irons uses the Inverted Cone technology on the inner side of the clubface for consistent ball speed on off-center hits. Based on this technology, R9 Irons adopt different designs for long, mid irons from short irons to optimize the performance of each club. The 3 to 6 iron houses a fully enclosed, foam-filled compartment located directly behind the clubface and beneath the cavity badge. This chamber is named “Velocity Control Chamber” by TaylorMade because it is supposed to create higher launch angle, more power and optimal feel. In addition, the weightless soft feel foam allows the engineers to have an ultrathin (2.0 mm) face that wraps around the topline and leading edge. When the face flexes at impact, it is meant to act like a thin-faced driver and result in a higher COR, faster ball speed, and added distance. TaylorMade R9 short irons feature a deep undercut cavity and a broad, low-CG sole which are meant to facilitate solid, spin-inducing contact. R9 short irons also feature silicone shock absorber and vibration-quieting cavity badge working together to prevent vibration and promote great feel and sound.
TaylorMade R9 Forged Irons with a soft forged mild S25C face feature an undercut cavity for high forgiveness. The #3 through #7 clubs of TaylorMade R9 Forged Irons have two-piece construction while #8 to PW iron uses one-piece forged construction. The target player for the standard R9 Forged model is mid- low handicap golfer while at the same time Tour Pro’s in Japan do intend to put this set into use. Several JLPGA women will be putting it into play within the next few events in Japan.
