A winner at the The game of golf Europe product awards, last autumn, R9 irons caught the judges eye for its novel Velocity Control Chamber: a fully enclosed compartment positioned behind the clubface that allows a large region of the thin face to exist unsupported.

It's a novel attempt to increase distance by growing the flexibility of the face (especially in the lengthy TaylorMade R9 iron where the face is thinner) and hence the COR – which can be not subject to the exact same regulations as drivers.

The chamber is moreover filled having a heat-treated proprietary foam and backed having a distinctive silicone insert for an exceptional feeling, high-launching iron.
