SuperTri Combines Technologies

TaylorMade is following in the footsteps of the R9 driver, which combined Flight Control Technology and Movable Weight Technology in a 420 c.c. head, and the R9 460 with FCT alone in a 460 c.c. head.

“Those two drivers were created because TaylorMade didn’t yet have the ability to combine both FCT and MWT in a 460 c.c. head,” said Todd Beach, TaylorMade’s senior director of metalwood development. “A year later, we do.”

That driver is the new R9 SuperTri, which combines FCT and MWT with three movable weights in a 460 c.c. head to combine the two technologies in the quest for distance and forgiveness.

The R9 SuperTri uses two methods to allow for FCT and MWT, including more efficient use of Ultra-Thin Wall Technology throughout the clubhead. The SuperTri also uses a new, lighter FCT sleeve that weighs three grams less.

The centre of gravity is two m.m. farther back in the head than the R9 to help launch the ball high with more spin, leading to more distance. The inclusion of MWT with three weights allows for a side-to-side trajectory change of up to 75 yards.

Inverted Cone Technology is designed to increase the area on the clubface that delivers fast ball speed leading to more distance.

With a reshaped crown to reduce wind resistance, the SuperTri’s clubhead is sleeker than previous R9 heads, while its face is deeper at 62 m.m..

With its black-on-black colour scheme, including a black PVD face, the R9 SuperTri is equipped with a Fujikura Motore 60-gram shaft used in the R9 driver.
