As with the drivers, players adjust the weights to match their swings. Some r7 irons - such as the CGB Max - feature small, movable weights behind the club face, near the sole. The r7 series’ larger cavities, meanwhile, make them more forgiving of mis-hit shots and the superior choice for beginners or high-handicappers. As a result, more accomplished players will likely hit the ball farther with R9 irons than with r7 irons. The R9 club heads are perimeter-weighted and include a foam-silicone layer behind the face. Looking at the IronsĪs with the drivers, the R9 irons are intended for lower-handicap players, although the club testers for "Golf Magazine" still classified the R9 irons as game-improvement clubs.
The magazine's club testers preferred the R9’s “pleasing, crisp sound” to the noise the r7 made when striking the ball. "Golf Magazine" found that some R9 shafts weren’t well-suited for medium-fast swing speeds, making the r7 a better choice for higher-handicap players. Players looking for a larger, more forgiving club head, however, will prefer the r7’s 460 cc head over the R9’s 430 cc head. For players seeking maximum adjustability, therefore, the R9 is the superior club. In addition to movable weights, the R9 featured adjustable face angle, lie angle and loft, giving players a total of eight orientations. The key difference between r7 and R9 drivers was the addition of TaylorMade’s “flight control technology” to the latter series.
