Get the R9 if you're a high handicap? I don't believe that's true. I'm a 1 handicap and I actually think the R9 is better than the Titleist. I'm not saying the 909D or 909F are bad, in fact they are quite good, but I like the R9 much more.

Great Review!

Is the clubhead made of titanium or steel for the r9 fairway woods?

Your going to like it Lefty. I am getting over 300 yards on my driver, I am getting about 265 on my 3 wood and about 245 on my 5 wood. I am very happy I got these 3 new R9s.

I picked up a lefty R9 TP 9.5 stiff with the Motore shaft. Wanted a change from my current driver (Titleist 907 D1 Aldila stiff 9.5) because i was losing yardage since it had a low kick point and i was finding that Iwas "ballooning" most of my drives. I am hoping to get a lower trajectory flight with the R9 TP. I will give you my feedback after this weekend. I got 2 rounds lined up to test drive the R9.

I bought this club through my friend who works for Edwin Watts on his advice. WOW! What a change in solid ball striking it has made with my game. The ball flight is terrific for my 7 Handicap. As a lefthanded sceptic of golf clubs I give this club a solid thumbs up to Taylormade. I am ordering the 5 wood today and I know I won't be disappointed. I set this club in the neutral position and the ball flight is straight as an arrow. You will not be disappointed with this club. My Callaways are out of the bag and have been given away!

Just ordered a customized R9 TP from TGW... I really wish they would've offered this club in 13 deg LH. Alas, they do not and my R9 TP w/ Matrix X-Con 5 shaft 15deg will be here in time for August... Can't wait!

I recently ordered a entire new set from 52 and 58 z groove wedged through r9 driver. Unfortunately for me, all but the 19 tp rescue (new with fct) were backordered. I took receipt of the hybrid last week, dialed into nu setting and absolutely loved it. I was not necessarily looking to replace my 3 iron but more to give me that 230-245 approach distance and a reliable short tee club. I got my R9 tp 13 degree 3 wood today and can't believe that I am even more impressed with this club than I was with the hybrid. I am replacing an older cleveland 3 wood that I have had for over 6 years. The first thing that I immediately loved was the bigger head. Im not one for a super large head on the driver but really appreciated it upon address with the three wood. I also dialed this into NU and proceeded to hit 10 balls off the range within 10 yards of my target (roughly 250 yrds). I then played 5 holes hitting off of the tee, fairway and out of 2 inch rough with superb results. I feel this is my new "go to" club and cannot wait to see how many strokes I am going to shave.

The Motore F1 shaft feels heavy at first but seems to get itself in just the right position and is very responsive to different setups.

For reference.

I am a 3.4 handicap with a 117 mph driver swing speed. I seem to be hitting this club about 265 yds.
