First Impression
Looks amazing very traditional looking and you do not notice the slight triangular shape at all. Sets up well at address in any face angle and position. The shaft looks great not to busy looking and the shaft sets up well with the shaft logo in any position. Note if you play a reminder rib in your grip then you are screwed with this club.

Feel Head
Very solid on centre hits, feels a lot like the R7 425 TP on steroids. On off centre hits you know were you hit it immediate feedback which is very helpful. No hitting it off the heel and wondering how that went so far. You need to put a good swing on this club, to get the distance.
Feel Shaft.
Awesome shaft, coming from playing the Xcon 6 in my current gamer this shaft kills it. Same kick as an Xcon but SO TIP STABLE just amazing had a few swings on Track Man that were swing speed mid 120’s and never once did it feel like I lost control I could always feel the head throughout the swing.

Performance from the club was outstanding swing has been on 110% the past couple days, and was able to shape this club with precision and accuracy. Only shot I had a little trouble with was the low draw, I had trouble keeping the launch angle in that 7-9 degree range for windy days. It was easier to play a low hold off fade actually in the N Setting.
I usually play a high draw, with this club set on TP Setting the high fade was amazing such a nice ball flight coming out around 12-14 degree’s I would say with very little spin.

Adjustment is very easy never played around with the weights but tried the face angles even on the L setting I was not hitting nasty hooks or anything they just came out as high pulls very high maybe launching 15-16 degrees of launch angle with a pull spin.
I decide to keep the club on NR which is Neutral one degree flat

Distance and accuracy.
Got two play two days in a row and playing tomorrow for a third day its been about 22 degree or 71 Fahrenheit. On centre strikes the ball goes like stink, high launch very little spin tons of roll on the draw, Fade still gets 5 yards of roll but has more spin.
On off centre hits major loss in distance I would say 25-40 yards shorter had three miss hits in two days that only went about 250-260 but they still go dead straight or curve back to the fairway. The miss hit on a cut shot is a great miss hit with this club dead straight just launches higher.

All in all an amazing club and a tremendous shaft for the hitter of the golf ball so much feedback in the shaft and SO Stable, really love the new HD I would say if you are a higher handicap or don’t hit the driver centre contact 7/10 times or more around then get the R9 460.

This is the best driver I have ever hit. Can work the ball in either direction and hit if further than I ever have.

Product was in great shape. Seller shipped fast and was curtious. I would do business with this seller gladly.

I bought this club from the best seller on the Ebay store beacuse I like this Brand of golf club "Taylormade". The first shot I hit the ball from Driving range...It's Very Good Golf Dirver, Easy to Hit Long and Straight.

I love this driver because it feels very solid and you can work the ball with it. The interchangable weight plugs and interchangable shaft tip allows you to optimize/manipulate your ball flight. It is 420cc so it is solid. It doesn't have that hallow feel to it that I dislike about the R9 460cc version or as a matter of fact, any 460cc drivers period. Plus the TP version has many great shaft options. After hitting a demo version of this club at a local golf retailer, I really like it and decided to buy it on eBay. I got it for half the retail price from a guy in New York, who only hit a bucket of balls with it at a driving range. It was still brand new when I received it and I still love it after about 15 rounds. I'm a 10 handicap and would highly recommend this club to anyone who loves the game of golf and is serious about looking to improve their game. Good luck!!!!!

I like the moveable weight technology allowing a variety of setup options
for players of all skill levels.

Being able to adjust the shot shape is the best part of this club. I can set up the feel of the club to do what I need. Cut shots Draws down the middle. This club does it all and build confidence. That's the key to a great game and shooting low scores.

I love the golf club!! The price was beyond reasonable, and the shipping cost and timeframe made it a no-brainer decision. Contact with the seller was great, making for a smooth transaction overall. Seller is a head of the class eBayer.
