TaylorMade R9 460 Driver Has a Larger Clubhead

For a lot of golfers the Taylormade R9 460 driver will be just what they have been waiting for. Unless you are a low handicap golfer you probably found the head of the standard R9 driver a little on the small side at 420cc. This is because that is the maximum size of head for moveable weight drivers.



Ballybunion, Doonbeg and Lahinch have joined forces to offer golfers the opportunity to play three of the world’s top 100 courses over three remarkable days.



The Great Irish Links Challenge will start on May 22, 2011, with golfers alternating between the three courses on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The event opens on the Sunday at The Lodge at Doonbeg with a welcome reception and closes at the same venue with an awards dinner on the Wednesday evening.



Compared to the R9 driver the TaylorMade R9 460 driver has a larger clubhead which combines with a deeper clubface and lower centre of gravity to deliver a much higher MOI that promotes forgiveness and a higher spin rate. Despite the larger clubhead and the technological breakthroughs the R9 460 can still boast of the classic looks and beautiful design that TaylorMade drivers are renowned for.



The Inverted Cone technology that has won TaylorMade so many fans is also included in the R9 460 driver and helps to expand those areas of the clubface that deliver high speeds allowing even mis hits to retain their shape and distance. Each R9 driver comes equipped with an Aldila REAX 60 gram tip-soft shaft and measures 45.75 inches.



Paul McGinley, one of this year’s Ryder Cup vice-captains, and a great advocate of Irish links golf, said: "Ireland is lucky to have so many great links courses. To have the opportunity to play three of the best in three days is fantastic. I believe it will be a fantastic event."



Ballybunion secretary manager Vari McGreevy added: "Irish links courses are still the Holy Grail for many overseas golfers and there is still a real desire to add the great Irish links courses to a players golfing CV. "This initiative affords them the opportunity to play three of the best in actual competition. What better way to do it?"



The event is being sponsored by TaylorMade golf equipment in conjunction with Shannon Development. The intention is that there will be one overall winner, although there will also be daily prizes at each of the three courses. In all it is hoped to attract 600 golfers for the competition.



The Taylormade R9 460 is a little longer front to back than the R9 and is verging on being triangular shape but stop just short and still looks pretty good. As the weight is further back the flight is a little higher on average than the R9 but still penetrating.
