Im looking for a nice 3wd for my christmas and i was wondering if you would recommend paying the extra for the R9 TP the cost is NOT an issue and even though i am a High handicapper i am about to get lessons from the top coach in the area so my swing will be better by the new season. Is the regular shaft stiffer in the TP than the regular in the non TP. I would be looking for something that will last me a while so a wet noodle might be too flexible soon.

Thanks

I would demo both of them, a more expensive shaft isn't always a better fit. I got the best results from the diamana blue board 'for titleist' shaft when I had my driver fitting. I also went to demo a few 3 woods recently and the fitter said my current r9 3 wood with the stock motore shaft was a better fit than other combinations I tried.

I'm not sure what your saying here. Are you saying you have a driver SS of just over 90mph? If that's correct then you should definitely not get a 13° fairway wood. You'd be much better off with a higher lofted wood and you won't be compromising any distance by doing so.

Head properties as in the R9 vs R9 TP?

Yeh is there any difference

i wouldnt suggest a 13 degree 3w either
ok from the tee as a backup driver, not very easy to hit from the turf

the only TP about the TP line is the shaft and TIP..the heads are the same
a tip can be had on ebay for $20 and you can put any shaft you want in a TP head/tip . size .335"

get fit for a shaft first, then decide

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
