GolfWRX Editors' Review
Excellent driver
By Site Administrator
Wow. That says a lot but we mean it. No wonder why TaylorMade is the king of drivers. They make great equipment. Here we are demo'ing another TM driver and saying Wow. This is another twist to the smaller 440cc head of the R9. This is 460cc and is used by the like of Segio Garia and Rory Sabbatini. We loved the head in testing. Many of us preferred it over the smaller head of the R(. This 460cc driver just felt as if it was going to go straight. We had no problem working the ball either way. The trajectory was average and played true to loft. Many of the tester that went through testing are playing the club today.
Product Description
Adjust the head. Maximize distance. Totally optimize you.
• TaylorMade Flight Control Technology (FCT) lets you change the face angle, loft and lie to promote up to 40 yards of side-to-side trajectory change
• Maximum size 460cc clubhead and Inverted Cone Technology promote maximum forgiveness on off-center hits
• Deeper back CG position makes it easier to launch the ball high and long
• New-classic clubhead shape blends traditional and modern lines
• Aldila RE*AX® 60-gram tip-soft shaft and 45.75" length promotes more clubhead speed and distance
Technology
Flight Control Technology (FCT)
- TaylorMade's Flight Control Technology (FCT) allows the player to easily adjust a metalwood's loft, lie and face angle
- FCT utilizes a metallic sleeve positioned over the tip of the shaft. The sleeve can be rotated into different positions, changing the characteristics of the head, by loosening the bolt that secures the sleeve and shaft into the clubhead.
Inverted Cone Technology (ICT)
- The Inverted Cone is CNC-milled directly into the inner side of the clubface, resulting in a drastic variation in face thickness. ICT optimizes the way the clubface behaves at impact to create an expanded COR zone.
- Inverted Cone Technology has been incorporated into every TaylorMade® driver since the R500 SeriesTM.
Ultra-Thin Wall Technology
- Ultra-Thin Wall Technology is a casting process that allows thinner clubhead walls than found in most competitive drivers. The saved weight is critical to making the incorporation of MWT and FCT possible in certain TaylorMade metalwoods.
