TaylorMade has introduced its new R9 SuperTri and R9 SuperTri Tour drivers, which combine Flight Control Technology (FCT) and Movable Weight Technology with three movable weights in a 460cc head.

The larger head is more forgiving, and its centre of gravity is two millimetres further back in the head than the R9 driver, making it easier to launch the ball higher and with more spin. The inclusion of MWT with three weights promotes a side-to-side trajectory change of up to 75 yards.

The TaylorMade R9 SuperTri driver features Inverted Cone Technology (ICT). Although it's milled onto the back of the clubface where it's out of sight, ICT plays a critical role by increasing the area of the clubface that delivers fast ball speed, promoting more distance on off-centre hits.

The R9 SuperTri driver clubhead has a new shape and a black-on-black colour scheme, including a black PVD clubface. The R9 SuperTri is equipped with a Fujikura Motore 60-gram shaft, which is five grams lighter than the Motore 65 used in the R9 driver. In addition to being lighter, the Motore 60 makes it easier to launch the ball on a higher launch angle and at a higher spin-rate, which helps many players achieve longer carry for increased distance.

* First time combining FCT and MWT® in a 460cc head gives 24 combinations of face angle and CG location to promote 75 yards of side-to-side trajectory change, all in a more forgiving head

* New FCT sleeve weighing three grams less than the previous version which allows FCT and MWT to exist together in a 460cc

* Deeper clubface and deeper CG location promotes higher launch angle and higher spin-rate

* Easier to launch for many players than previous R9™ drivers

* Fujikura® Motore 60-gram shaft (5 grams lighter than previous R9 drivers) with softer tip

* More playable and launches the ball higher with more spin
