It's a pretty good driver. I know I might buy it once it drops down some more lol. I think there are a few shaft options, 2, maybe but just go try it out and take it out on the course if you can!

I don't have the SuperTri, but I have the R9 460 driver - the SuperTri's predecessor. I went with the R9 because I couldn't justify the SuperTri's price tag. And I'm glad I did. The R9 is a fantastic driver! It is long and pretty forgiving. The only other advantage the SuperTri would have given me is moveable weights. I don't use the adjustibility on the R9 as it is, I can't imagine having more adjustibility options that I wouldn't use.

That's my two cents. Think about if you are really going to use the adjustibility features on the SuperTri. If not, save a couple hundred bucks and look at the R9.

I hit a demo a couple months back at the pga store and I wasnt to thrilled about it. I really wanted one but was waiting on price and now I really dont care. It may have been because it was a demo model not setup for me specifically so I will try it over the winter again when the price drops to see if I can find the combo I like. I do better with my 09 burner with no adjustability.

Haven't tried the SuperTri, but I heard some good reviews from my peers.

I just switched away from the R9 back to R7 (my old one). I felt the R9 was too heavy and I hate the ball flight when I hit one with it.

hit the r9 460 because its only 2 bills at golf galaxy..

havent bought it yet but will own it before next spring. Demo'd it and really enjoy hitting the club. Price is cant beat as well. I would imagine supertri is even better but I would wait a little longer eh... taylor made is about to come out with something new which will lower the tri's price

I got the R9 460 in a pinch a few weeks back for 199.99 at Golf Galaxy. I'm really happy with it. I like the adjustable face, but the weights as well? To me, that's a bit of overload. I'm a decent golfer, but I am still at the point where the less I have in my brain as I swing a golf club, the better.

    • On my trip at Bandon. I have a couple of best shots come to mind. I had kind of a stupidly good short game shot out of some nasty stuff. I didn't really make any bombs putting.  I could say any drive I hit straight that was hitting directly into the wind, lol. That was nasty. I literally hit a ball like 150 yards right. I am going with my drive on hole 18 at Old MacDonald. 469 yard par 4, down wind. The narrowest fairway on the course, and you have to navigate two sets of bunkers. I stripe one down the middle, catch the slope and have to roll out to about 95 yards to the pin. So yea, that 370-ish drive in the fairway on a 469 par 4 wins the shot of the week. 
    • Day 2: mirror work while watching some TV. Checking on some backswing stuff primarily - making sure I’m still steep enough in the backswing. 
    • Day 88 (28 Jul 25) - Short session this afternoon after a full day of yard work at the house.  Worked on setup and tempo thru the shot with the 52° wedge in the backyard.  Hit about 20 balls total - just staying focused on the process. 
    • Day 10: More putting with the metronome. Short putts feel really slow and long putts feel really fast. Getting more comfortable every day. 
    • Day 301 - 2025-07-28 Watched a lot of golf today at Fox Chapel, but then came home and did some mirror work. Re-dedicated. Which is saying something, as I've been playing okay. But relying on my athleticism to just do "okay."
