TaylorMade Mens Japan R9 Irons

TaylorMade Mens Japan R9 Irons

the R9 irons were released first in Japan along with the R9 Driver and Japan only R9 Max driver. What many people did not realize which I made mention of several times in the blog here, is that the Japan model R9 besides being aesthetically different from the US R9 Model was in fact a slightly different iron. The R9 Japan model had more classic lofts like a 27.5* 5 iron and quite a bit less offset than the US model. Yes the Japanese R9 Model is in fact much more like the R9 TP in the US. So while the Japan R9 Iron was aimed at the better player, Taylormade Japan decided to released the R9 Max iron, featuring similar technologies to the originak R9 iron but with a thicker top line, slightly wider sole, more offset and an overall larger head. Paired with strong lofts and lightweight graphite shafts, the R9 Max is for the mid to higher handicapper. One other note is that the R9 Max has that interesting pearl like satin finish on the face sole and neck, very similar to the finish of the Japan only Burner Forged.
