Having written the success story of the r7 line, the expectations for the TaylorMade R9 line could not be much higher. Is it possible for a club to gain 10% of distance over the already long r7? In fact,they did,as examplified by the R9 SuperMax Irons and the classic TaylorMade R9 Forged Irons. Today I will introduce the latter one.



The Forged Irons house a fully enclosed, foam-filled compartment located directly behind the clubface and beneath the cavity badge. TaylorMade refers to this chamber as the "Velocity Control Chamber" because it is meant to create a higher launch angle, more power, and optimal feel. Moreover, the weightless soft feel foam allows the engineers to have an ultrathin (2.0 mm) face that wraps around the topline and leading edge. When the face flexes at impact, it is meant to act like a thin-faced driver and result in a higher CoR, faster ball speed, and added distance.



TaylorMade seems to have made it its mission in recent years to reinvent what the phrase "classic golf club" means. Like the R7 CGB MAX Irons, the clubface of the R9 uses the inverted cone technology on the inner side of the clubface for consistent ball speed on off-center hits. Using that as their foundation, the new R9 irons long and mid irons were designed separately from the short irons to optimize performance in each club.




The virtually weightless foam originates as a powder that is sealed in this chamber, and then transforms into a foam substance after the clubhead is heated during production. While the long- and mid-irons are meant to provide distance and forgiveness, the short irons are designed to increase feel and accuracy. The short irons feature a deep undercut cavity and a broad, low-CG sole which are meant to facilitate solid, spin-inducing contact. The teardrop shape and clearly delineated leading edge is meant to aid alignment. The R9 short irons also incorporate a vibration-dampening layer sandwiched between the backside of the clubface and the thin, protected black badge in the cavity as well as a visco-elastic adhesive made by 3M that is meant to further dampen vibration.



As for the shaft,the R9 irons come standard with either the KBS steel 90 gram steel shaft (regular or stiff) or the Fujikura Motore graphite shaft (senior, regular, or stiff).



According to the feedback,the irons are great! He said:"I purchased a set of TaylorMade R9 Forged Irons about 1 month ago from a online golf shop. After playing with them many times , I think my decision is right, the euqipment has the feel of a fine tuned auto and great swing weight." If you feel the same way,you can add it into your bag.
