R9 fairway regular or TP

**Doctorfro** · June 16, 2009

Other than shaft, what are the real differences in these clubs? I can't seem to find out what the answer to this is.

The R9 has FCT (Flight Control Technology), you can adjust the head to the shaft. The TP is a fixed loft and lie.

Actually I'm pretty sure you can change it on both.

Check out this review for the TP: The author lists FCT as one of the features. http://thesandtrap.com/clubs/taylorm...ay_wood_review

There's no difference in the heads. They are exactly the same, you're just paying for the real Motore shaft or any of the other TP offerings (Fubuki, Voodoo, Matrix, etc).

Also the author listed that he hit the r9 25 yards farther than his previous one, can anyone else confirm this? I'd be very interested in a 3 wood that goes as far as possible.

All I've been able to figure is that the TP has an 85 gram shaft vs. the regular with a 70 gram shaft. Both have the adjustability. Is there something I'm missing? Is it worth $70 difference for the heavier shaft? Guess if you hit it that much better....

I have the r9 tp 3 wood and tried the r9 tp driver!

There is no diffrence head wise between the normal r9 to the r9 tp!
The shaft is where its slightly diffrent!

The non-TP Motore shaft is a "Made for" version and not the same as the actual Motore which is standard in the TP version. Plus, you can upgrade to a few other top dollar shafts (Voodoo, Matrix Ozik, Fubuki) at no charge (I think). As for if it's worth it, it all really depends on the player and the golf swing. Lower handicappers tend to see the bigger improvements in ball flight and distance moreso than the higher handicappers but there is nothing wrong with the "Made for" shafts, they are made with the same materials by the same company they are just designed for the majority of golfers.

exact same club

i got custom shaft so it's neither the regular or the TP

the guys fitting it said it is another TM scam (like the Burner 2008 series, calling it "tour launch" when it was just a smaller head)
