First let’s look at the Inverted Cone Technology, this gives a large clubface area, which results in faster ball hit and consequently more distance on the drive. The thing to note here is that the TaylorMade R9 460 will have a noticeable affect on your golf game. If you take two players who are essentially in how they play golf and give one of them the TaylorMade R9 460 and an average club for the other golfer you can expect the golfer with the TaylorMade is going to have a better and more enjoyable golf game. It is because of this that people are will to spend just a bit more to get the best golf club.
The second thing to look at is accuracy. The R9 features FCT, Flight control technology, for maximum control of the ball. All the distance in the world doesn’t mean much when the ball heads off the course. I’ve played with golfers who can drive well over 300 yards however most the time the ball is out in the middle of the desert. The TaylorMade R9 460 FCT significantly helps you control the ball. FCT gives you the power to easily change the club's face angle, loft and lie angle simply by loosening a bolt in the sole, rotating the shaft into the designated position, then tightening the bolt. FCT makes it so easy to adjust the angle of the clubface into a position that suits your eye and your swing, helping you hit the ball straighter and longer. Think how much more fun your game will be when you always drive down the fairway in a predictable way. So you don’t have to worry about to much weight being on the right or left of the club driving the ball in directions you don’t want.
You know when you are out on the driving range or on the tee and you hear that perfect “ping” from the club hitting the ball? That sound lets you know that you just hit clean strike on the ball and you can expect a great drive. The TaylorMade R9 460 has a titanium club face so you not only get the “ping” but also satisfying distance. This face combined with the accuracy of the club means great drives and pleasureable games.
Now will this club turn you into a professional golfer? Well unless you are already one probably not. But it will significantly improve your golf game. If you are already a good player but have hit a plateau then take a look at this club since it will most likely raise you off of that plateau. The TaylorMade R9 460 is definitely one of the best drivers on the market today!
