I just inherited a TaylorMade R9 Supertri driver and I was wondering if it could be a Supertri TP. If anyone knows the physical differences between the two I would greatly appreciate the help. I couldn't see any difference in looks when I went on Google images.

Thanks

I believe there would be a tm "tp" logo on the toe part of the head if it was a supertri tp.

Not so. The only difference in the 2 in the R9 series are the shafts. The TP version of the shaft comes in the "TP", the heads are actually identical. There is, however, a SuperDeep BBLB TP that has the TP logo on the head. It's a low, low spin head designed for higher swing speeds and better ball striking. The TP shafts are .335 tip diameter and the non are .350. They all work in all the R9 heads and even the R11.

yes, the shafts are different also. good call. I just thought I would point out the one tp logo since it is the most obvious one.

I believe the Super Tri came with the Motore 60 & the Super Tri TP came with the Motore 65

There are NO "TP" logos on the R9 or SuperTri heads, only the shafts.

oic, i always thought there was a tp logo on the head. does that mean the supertri and supertri tp have the same head, but different shafts?

Not all TP shafts are .335.  Miyasaki comes in both sizes and I'm sure others do too.

Taylormade TP heads are .335 and the TP adapters are .335. You can fit a .350 adapter into a "TP" head. If it's a made for TMAG TP shaft it's a .335 tip.

The outside diameter of the adapter of the 3.35 and 3.50 are the same.  The hole in the heads are both the same because there is only one head.  The TP designates a more expensive shaft and some are 3.35 and some are 3.50.  High end shafts like Miyazaki come in both tip sizes.

Lblack is correct, I had the R9 SuperTRI TP before my 910 and it only was marked on the shaft.

Titleist 913D2 9.5 (UST VTS 65)

Titleist 913F 15 (Diamana S+)

Titleist 913H 19 (Diamana S+)

If it is a "Taylormade TP" shaft it is .335, end of story. You may me talking aftermarket shafts which is a whole different animal. Only the C.Kua SE comes in .350 per their website. PS- it's 335 & 350 thousandths of an inch. (.335 & .350)

They are all after market shafts as Taylormade doesn't make shafts. So they really aren't aftermarket shafts, just high end shafts.

I've got a bridge to sell ya. They aren't ALL aftermarket shafts. It's nice to keep the consumer in the dark.

LBlack14, your comments have been very helpful as i've learned a few things from you.. thanks.  2 questions i have for you.. i am an OK player (more of a good beginner.. nothing special).. in saying so, should i stay away from the R9 SuperTri TP?  i believe somewhere here you said that the heads are exactly the same between TP and regular? Will i be ok if i have a TP head and put a shaft that suits my skill set?

And secondly, does that go for all brands regarding the TP and regular clubs? ..where u say the heads are exactly the same..

Thanks for your help!

I would go with the R9 Supertri with the stock regular shaft if your swing speed is average (85-90 SS).  Best yet would be to go have a fitting.  The head would be the R11, but you could concentrate on the shaft.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
