For years now, TaylorMade has been one of the industry leaders in golf club architecture and manufacturing. They always put out some of the best golf accessories available.
The point is this is one shaft with four separate set up positions. Why is that important? Because golf is ridiculously specific to individuals and we all need something different. The shaft on the taylormade r9 driver allows you to customize your set up position. It is not meant to be an interchangeable system like the ones that Callaway and some other manufactures (yes, you too Taylormade) have tried to pitch us. At only 420cc or thereabouts, the head is neat and compact and with its deep face has a smaller footprint at address even at the end of a 45 inch shaft that is shorter than the typical modern standard of 46 inches. A few quick adjustments later and the club helped me set up in a comfortable and confident address position. The rest was history. And since we can’t walk over to the tour van and have their tech hook us up with something specific to our very own body/swing/stance, we need the manufacturer to lend a hand. The first requires both moveable weights and an adjustable hosel while the second only has one or the other. The combination of FCT and MWT can be found in not just the R9 driver but also the fairway woods and the Rescue 09 TP hybrid.
TaylorMade’s Flight Control Technology allows you to adjust your taylormade r9 fairway wood to eight different head positions to launch the ball longer and straighter by changing the face angle, loft and lie angle. Depending upon how the clubhead characteristics are set, the R9 fairway wood promotes up to 35 yards of side-to-side trajectory change - perfect for correcting a slice or hook. In agreement of application the Flight Control Technology, which is the capital affection of the TaylorMade R9 Fairway Wood range. The head design has been dubbed "new classic" by TaylorMade due to its successful combination of both modern and classic head shapes. It looks like Taylormade has outdone themselves again. If nothing else they should win the award for golf club brand with the most acronyms and nicknames! While the tweaking of clubs is commonplace on the Tour the R9 offers the ordinary golfer the same control over their clubs as a professional player using a simple bolt in the clubhead that can be changed in seconds.
You can come to the new golf superstore to choose your R9 sets.

It's safe to say Troy Matteson likes the Frys.com Open. Both of his PGA Tour wins have come in this event, albeit at desert venues. The confidence from his history in this event may turn out to buoy a season plagued by missed opportunities. Matteson started by making birdies on three of his first five holes and finished with birdies on four of his final five. Matteson has had an average year to this point, missing the cut in 11 of 21 tournaments, including his first five starts. His best finish is a tie for 26th at the Honda Classic. But he lowered his best score for the year, a 65 at the Humana Classic, by four strokes in taking the lead. It's his best start in any Tour tournament. "There have been some great players at Georgia Tech, and to be the first one to win the NCAA is a tremendous honor,” Matteson said. “Coach (Bruce Heppler) was extremely helpful in preparing us for this golf course and he was really positive all week, helping me whenever I got down." It was all Matteson on the final playoff hole, however. After setting a PGA Tour record for lowest scores in successive rounds by carding 61s on Friday and Saturday, it seemed fitting that Matteson should capture the tourney.
