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.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
