Review from the magazine
TG rating 
The TaylorMade R9 Fairway Wood was one of the pre-test favourites, this is the club most testers opted to hit first. In the hands of pro Chris it worked a treat and made it into his top three – he cited it as “perfect” for looks and performance off the tee. However he found the flight a little lower from the fairway: not ideal for holding greens. Kit also loved the looks and gave it a perfect score off the tee and the fairway. George and Chris N found it a little hard to get in the air off tight lies but rated it off the tee. Its nine different head positions make it arguably the most versatile on test.

You can change the head to nine different positions to suit your shot and the conditions.
