Taylormade made it clear out of the gate that the R9 will be it's touted flagship. Flight Control Technology (FCT), Movable Weight Technology, Inverted Cone Technology (ICT), and Ultra Thin Wall Technology, top the list of technological advances TM put into this driver.

 

Flight Control Technology - This is a cool and upcoming technology. This allows the player to easily move or change loft, lie and face angle! FCT uses a sleeve that is positioned over the tip of the shaft to accomplish. 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.

 

Movable Weight Technology - is nothing new for TM. The clubhead weight can be changed to by the player to change the characteristics of the club. This allows the golfer to optimize CG.

 

Inverted Cone Technology - has also been available for some time and become quite prevalent, Taylormade and other driver manufacturers as well. Nevertheless, it's a sound technology that is gaining in popularity. ICT optimizes the behavior of the clubface at impact, creating for an expanded COR zone.

 

Ultra Thin Wall Technology - this technology is also gaining steam amongst today's drivers. This allows saved weight and makes the incorporation of MWT and FCT possible.
