R9 SuperTri Fast Out Of Blocks
TaylorMade's R9 SuperTri driver was made available to PGA Tour pros for the first time this week the Farmers Insurance Open. According to Darrell Survey equipment counts executed on Thursday, 25 players put the R9 SuperTri in play, making it the No. 1 driver model at the event.

"A lot of guys were getting more ball speed and distance with the R9 SuperTri compared to their gamer," said TaylorMade tour representative Paul Loegering, "and they took right away to the new shape and black clubface and black clubhead color scheme."

Likewise, the R9 SuperTri driver was the No. 1 driver model during its first week available on the European Tour, with 20 in play at the Qatar Masters.

"Very strong winds early in the week meant many players gave the range a miss," said Ian Watts, TaylorMade's director of tour operations in Europe, "yet R9 SuperTri was still the No. 1 driver model. It was a massive success."
