What Does The Average Golfer Think Of The TaylorMade R9 460?

With no stretch of the imagination am I a expert golfer, in fact , I am just your typical every day man trying to put little balls into little holes on a enormous big golf course. Ok , so I would like to better my game and when a new club comes down I think perhaps this is just what I need to elevate my game to the next level and at least exceed my own utmost score record.

I had been reading a lot regarding the TaylorMade R9 460 and I liked what I read so I decided to get one. I eagerly removed my new pride and joy from its package and eagerly read the guidebook . After reading I thought yes finally I have found the lost link in my game this club will transform my pains . My swing will be fixed and I will whackballs like they have in no way been hit previously , well by me anyhow, I will be the talk of the club.

When I came out of my dream scenario I took my new R9 out for a test drive. As soon as I had hit roughly 500 balls disappointment set in, I played no differently. I have to express that the R9 has a 45.75" Aldila shaft which did not compliment my swing. Because of my build is. 5'11", short legs, longer body and arms like a gerbel I'd be likely to play better with shortened 43" drivers so I believe I have tuned my play to this ever so slightly greater upright stance.

Ok , thus I acknowledge the problems lay with my gerbel like appearance (that reminds me I am low on peanut butter) rather than my gleaming new TaylorMade R9. I persevered and after little while I did believe that I was connecting with the R9 460 and was in fact beating a few greater distances. Bearing in mind more experimentation particularly with more grip I felt more in control of the club and actually started to increase accuracy and hit the fairway more frequently . My confidence was building with every shot right now , my distance also were increasing some 10 to 20 yards on every drive but I need more to defend the $300 price tag.

As perseverance is my middle name, well in reality its not my middle name is Michael, I decide to call a pal for a game at the local golf club. Robert saw my new TaylorMade R9 460 and as I was not having too much success I let him have a go. Now Rob is lankier than I at 6'1" and I have not thought of him a distance hitter, nonetheless , his first shot with the R9 460 landed him 300 yards or more. Needless to say he was so excited by my new R9 club that he insisted on using it for the remainder of our round. Robs game had improved from the moment he picked up the TaylorMade R9 460. Even he was amazed at how his shots were not only gaining him distance but he was shaving some strokes too.

So what could it be about the TayloryMade R9 460 that at once improved Roberts game. Possibly it is the Inverted Cone Technology or the 460cc face that is much more forgiving when it comes to miss-hitting or may be it could be the Flight Control Technology and changeable hosel which is able to compensate up to 40 yards of side to side fade or draw. Added features of this stick could also have been liable for Robs improved game such as the perimeter weighting adjustability, this altered the MOI of the club providing the player with greater flexibility in carry and loft. Or when all is said and done it could be that the R9 is a beautifully made and well planned driver. The TaylorMade R9 gives the player the choice to play as if they were a common all around golf club player, however , this club also gives the player the opportunity to test . For my mate Rob the R9 was a revelation and it is on his next letter to Santa but for me? may possibly be I'll take up knitting .
