TaylorMade R9 Irons + TaylorMade R9 Cap on www.golfsetstore.com

 

 

When TaylorMade set out to design the TaylorMade R9 irons, they knew they had to make a more forgiving golf iron than they had ever done before.  Using a technology called the Inverted Cone technology, TaylorMade was able to increase the COR zone of the clubface by over 10%.  This created a more forgiving club face that resulted in more control and greater distance.  In addition to this technology, TaylorMade also created a velocity control chamber.  This technology helps in the golfer increase their ball speed.  Some other features of the TaylorMade R9 irons are a shock absorption system in the long irons, deep cavity back and heel toe weighting in the shorter irons, and a beveled sole plate. The shock absorption system consists of a foam filled chamber that helps with the feel in the long irons while the deep cavity back and heel toe weighting in the shorter irons make them forgiving. 

 

 

 

 

Like the r7, the clubface of the R9 uses the inverted cone technology on the inner side of the clubface for consistent ball speed on off-center hits. Using that as their foundation, the new R9 irons long and mid irons were designed separately from the short irons to optimize performance in each club.
