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.

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....

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)

      Day 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well.

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
