Released to the golf world in late 2009, the TaylorMade R9 Irons are designed with a more traditional, clean look, and are intended primarily to be game improvement clubs.
This is what TaylorMade have to say about these irons: "Whereas our Burner irons deliver extraordinary distance in a modern design, the R9 irons are aimed at the technician, and so are rendered in a player's shape with a clean and conventional look," said Harry Arnett, TaylorMade's senior category director of metalwoods, irons and balls. "However, a ridiculous degree of performance-enhancing technology is packaged within each oversized clubhead. The result is an iron that's phenomenally easy to play despite its classic appearance, and extremely controllable and accurate as well."
You're never going to get the sort of feeling you expect from blades but the localized silicone shock absorber and the light foam that fills the Velocity Control Chamber in the 3 to 6 irons make these feel better than expected. A solid strike gives you a muted click while miss hits are only a little different with no harsh twisting no matter where on the face you hit the ball.
TaylorMade say that these are for golfers not just about pure performance but are also for the technician who wants to work the ball. Given the emphasis on forgiveness the R9 are surprisingly controllable for fades and draws but you have to put some effort in to making the ball do anything more than a gentle movement.
The R9 are great irons for those looking for forgiveness without sacrificing performance. The amount of technology packed in ensures that any swing is flattered. With such a large sweetspot the distance generated on both pure strikes and on miss hits is fantastic and the low COG and high MOI ensure a great flight from low to mid swing speeds and that they come in left handed means that not only the righties get to play with them.
These irons are worth it if you are the right type of golfer to fit into this type of design. They are made with quality materials and are made by a company that continues to deliver some of the best and most playable golf clubs in the world.
