The key release here is the R9 Supermax line in October which will be a JDM line with a focus on performance and ease of use for the mid capper to average golfer.
Taylormade will also release all black fairway woods and rescues both with FCT and a new set of irons. The Supermax FW features a bigger sized head (#3 175cc #5 152cc #7 146cc) with mid high custom 455 Stainless Steel faces. The 450SS body FW's are designed for high trajectory and distance performance. While the R9 Supermax FW does have FCT, it is naturally weighted for draw bias.
Features:
1. Large volume, traditionally-shaped steel head. Confidence building look at address with increased forgiveness and improved shot feedback
2. Low and deep CG location promotes high launch and low spin with more draw bias for high trajectory and optimized carry
3. The lightest Fujikura Motore 50-gram shaft and grip in the R9 series. Lightest overall club weight promotes faster clubhead speed and more distance
Taylormade Japan introduces their all new R9 SuperMax driver for 2010. The SuperMax is made for MAX distance and MAX ease of use. The ultra forgiving 460cc conforming black SuperMax features high MOI and high launch and big carry thanks to a deep and low center of gravity. The shallower face and larger head provide a large sweet spot and confidence at address.
The SuperMax also features Flight Control Technology which allows for the head to be adjusted to 8 different positions altering trajectory and direction by changing the loft, lie and face angle. With the new FCT Sleeve, the R9 Supermax comes in at an ultralight weight. This makes for increased swing speed and more overall distance for the average golfer. Also the all Titanium head features an inverted cone technology face and ultra thin wall crown at 0.6mm.
