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.

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.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.
