What's wrong with the R9?

[mazza78]

Ive got R9 and not the R9 460 and im finding it a little un forgiving so losing distance off tee! Had old G10 driver and regularly hit the sweet spot although accuracy was a bit off hence the change to the R9!!

V2's are have a playability rating of 914 or something like that. (Ultra game improvement)

G15's are 844. (Super Game Improvers) G15's are meant to be great if you can get over the looks. I can't

I have to agree, the R9 is very unforgiving on off centre hits. I lose around 20 yards more than I did with my previous tour burner and nike sumo. I demoed the rapture V1 and was disappointed with it, the sound and feel was very dull. I believe the V2 is quite an improvement though.

oh you were talking about the drivers!
whoops

I can't speak to the difference of the V2 to the G15, but I can say the G15 is smokin'.

I picked one up last weekend, 9* Stiff Aldila Serrano. I have always been solid off the tee and long. The problem was I sacrificed "enjoyment" for forgiveness. I was playing the Sumo2 5900. No feel, unattractive.

Some may not like the appearance of the G15 but personally I think its attractive. The feel, the sound, the look at address and finally, the trajectory and length make this the most exciting addition in equipment I've had in a long time.

I didn't pick up a noticeable increase in distance but, most important to me, I didn't lose any distance. Couple that with the responsive feel, I can't recommend this enough.

I've hit both and the G15 is my preference. Very forgiving when you mishit it and rewarding when you catch it solid.

I love the look of it. I don't see why some would have issues with the look.
