Pre-Released: New Taylormade R9 460cc with MWT!!!

This is exciting! Who would have thought that Taylormade will be introducing another R9 into the family yet again?....so soon? In 2009, we have had the R9, the R9 460, the R9 MAX, and now, R9 460 with MWT!

Release date: Unknown...Sept 09?

This is similar to the 1st R9, except that it's 460cc! You can see from the head profile that this new R9 has a more triangular shape, whereas the 1st R9 was more rounded.

The R9 460 now comes with no Moveable Weights, with this new R9, we get the best of both worlds - it's like combining the R9 with the R9 460. You get a R9 that's 460cc, big in size, ultimate forgiveness, maximum MOI, with 3 moveable weights! Of course, not forgetting the FCT technology which makes the R9 so unique!

Taylormade Golf is hitting the jackpot with this one!

This head is to be given to an Asian Tour player and it's not for sale.

It is confirmed that this is to be launched for Taylormade Japan. Still unsure if this will hit the US/Europe market.

For pre-orders, please email me.

Bingo on this one!

Taylormade R9 460 - What to look out for

Taylormade R9 460 - what should we be watching out for

Ok, as some of you who has been reading my blog, you would have known that I have a couple of R9 MAX and R9 460 on hand from my contacts from the Japanese Tour, since last week.

I was doing a random search on eBay and I saw a questionable R9 460 being listed, and may I say, for a surprisingly very cheap price. Anyway, I am not a person who likes to judge, but I just thought I'd like to share, what to look out for, if you are deciding to get a Pre-Released R9 460...a LEGIT one, that it. 

The best tell-tale sign is the paint. Taylormade uses a very special paint for the R9 460, and if you are someone who takes a closer look, it is not that difficult at all to tell if your driver is 100% legit.

1) The <460> should be painted in greyish/silver. NOT black, NOT white, period.

2) The <R> is in bright christmas red, NOT solid bloody red.

3) The <9> should be in shimmery white, NOT solid chalk white. You should be able to see some shimmery glitters on the white paint.

(click on the picture above to enlarge it for a better look at the paint job)

Its easier to tell the difference for the <460> paint and the <9> paint. The red paint on the <R> is harder to tell, but when you take a close look, it should be pretty obvious.

Alright guys, buy safe, always ask for more pictures at different angles or lighting environments if need be.

R9 MAX and R9 460

Hi guys, I promised I'd post pictures as soon as I could. So here, I'll post sibe by side comparisons between the R9 MAX and R9 460. 

On every picture, R9 460 is on the left side, and on the very last picture, the R9 460 is on top.

Similarities:

Both R9 MAX and R9 460 are 460cc heads

Both R9 MAX and R9 460 are conforming for USGA play

Differences:

R9 MAX has a center weight port (4g for retail, 16g for tour issued), while the weight port for the R9 460 is like the Burner family.

R9 MAX has a thinner face, which supposedly promoted further distance

R9 MAX is a rounder clubhead, while the R9 460 is a more triangular shaped clubhead.

Availability: Very limited on hand. My cousin sent some over from the Japanese Tour. If interested please email me: fairwaygolfsg@gmail.com to check availability.
