The TaylorMade R9 SuperDeep TP Driver is a pure player's driver. It has a 460cc head with an ultra-deep clubface, creating a lower moment of inertia and forward center of gravity for increased workability. The two weight ports, FCT and MWT, create 448 launch condition combinations and the new extra-low-torque Aldila R.I.P. shaft is engineered for strong players seeking a mid launch-angle and low spin.
Features
1. Graphite driver
2. 460cc head with ultra-deep clubface (2.55")
3. Lower MOI and forward CG for increased workability
4. FCT and MWT® (two weight ports) for 448 launch position combinations
5. Flight Control Technology (FCT) utilizes a metal sleeve positioned over the tip of the shaft, which can be rotated into different positions to adjust the loft, lie, and face angle
It allows you to take a nice and easy swing and still be able to hit the ball 270 yards and above.It is quick and very easy. I was able to fade or draw my tee shot when needed without having to change my swing or stance. It makes holes a lot more easier.
This Taylormade R9 460 Driver features Taylormade's Flight Control Technology (FCT), which lets you change the face angle, loft and lie. This means total adjustability to promote up to 40 yards of side-to-side trajectory change. In addition, this classically shaped 460cc driver also features Inverted Cone Technology for maximum forgiveness on off-center hits, a deeper back CG (center of gravity) for an easy-launching position and a super high MOI.
Features:
1. TaylorMade Flight Control Technology (FCT) lets you change the face angle, loft and lie to promote up to 40 yards of side-to-side trajectory change
2. Maximum size 460cc clubhead and Inverted Cone Technology promote maximum forgiveness on off-center hits
3. Deeper back CG position makes it easier to launch the ball high and long
4. New-classic clubhead shape blends traditional and modern lines
5. Aldila RE*AX 60-gram tip-soft shaft and 45.75" length promotes more clubhead speed and distance
This is a great driver at a great price. This is one of the best drivers of all time!! Some drivers suit some golfers better than others but this one has the right sound, feel, and adjustability to fit most.

How to Hit Tiger’s Stinger Shot?
Tiger Woods didn’t invent the knockdown shot, or stinger as it is often referred to, but he seems to have made it popular again. The stinger is a shot with a long iron or fairway wood that stays very low with little spin and runs after hitting the ground. Tiger has made great use of this shot over the years. It’s a great shot to hit under pressure and in the wind. Paul Azinger made a pretty good name for himself while hitting the knockdown almost exclusively with his irons. Either way, it’s a crown pleaser and also very effective, especially on fast, dry courses and links.
How do you hit this shot? I’m going to show you. It’s not as hard as you might think, but it does require some grasp of the fundamentals and I wouldn’t recommend this shot (or any specialty shot) to high handicappers. If you can’t make consistent contact yet you should probably work on that first before you try hitting anything but a basic full swing shot.
As with most shots, the secret to hitting the knockdown shot is in your setup. To hit the ball lower, you have to make a few changes that will help you de-loft the club and basically turn a 5 iron into a 3 iron.
Step 1: Take an extra club or two and grip down on the club so that a few inches at the top of grip stick out past your left hand. Choking down on the grip gives you a bit more control and makes the club shorter, which reduces clubhead speed and spin.
Step2: Move the ball back a few inches in your stance. Ideally you want to play the ball just behind the center of your stance. The reason we do this is mostly to force the hands ahead of the ball and deloft the club. Be carefull not to play the ball too far back, as this forces you to make compensating moves to hit the ball solid and produces too much of a decending blow, creating backspin. The goal is to reduce backspin so the shot flies lower.
Step 3: Make a full backswing and shoulder turn. Don’t confuse the knockdown with a punch. This isn’t a punch shot. A punch shot requires a shorter backswing, but a knockdown is a full swing that flies lower, so make a normal, full shoulder turn.
Step 4: Lead with the hands. The key to this shot is delofting the club, and the setup is designed to help that. At impact your hands should be ahead of the ball and the club should be striking the ball with a slightly descending blow. You have to resist the urge to help the ball in the air by flipping it, the goal here is a low flying shot.
Step 5: Follow through low with your hands going towards the target. Tiger likes to play this shot with “soft hands”, which basically means that he’s not releasing the club aggressively. Instead he doesn’t let the right hand overtake the left on the follow through and the result is a low flying stinger, as shown below.

Dougherty ends bunker play nightmare
Losing sleep over greenside bunker shots? Well Nick Dougherty has a cure.
The three-time European Tour winner ended those nightmares for Golf live fans by prescribing them with a doughnut training drill at London Golf Club over the weekend.
Dougherty interacted with the crowd at the back of the 18th as he fired a series of short, long and buried sand shots next to the pin using his number one bunker tip; taught to him by short-game expert Mark Roe.
"The key is to imagine a doughnut-like shape around the ball," said the Englishman. "In practice, draw a circle around the ball and hit the whole doughnut out of the bunker, maintaining good rhythm and good club head speed to make the doughnut disappear."
Dougherty continued his masterclass by explaining the importance of a lower stance rather than one that is too upright. The common fault I see is when someone stands up tall and expects to be able to get the club under the ball," added Dougherty.
Widening the stance and flexing the knees will bring the sternum down and your right hand lower, allowing you to hit the sand before the ball. Having shown his fans how to scramble, Dougherty finished the session by explaining what to do when poached.
The 28-year-old made it clear a steep backswing is vital to make the club dig into the back of the plugged ball. "It might not look appealing, but there is a way out," said Dougherty. "Stay focused on a spot two to three inches behind the ball and swing steeply and abruptly with a full wrist hinge.
Try to smack the sand hard but don't follow through too much because the ball will have lots of top spin. Stopping the swing a few feet after impact will help you hold the face open to clear the lip and stop the ball on the green.

Planning A Charity Golf Tournament
Looking for tips on planning a charity golf tournament? There are many factors to consider, so I'll stick to the four main ones for this article. The success of your charity golf event revolves around maximizing player turnout, increasing pledge sizes, obtaining sponsored prizes, and planning tips.
Player Turnout
Your success depends on how many players your golf event draws and how actively you have your players solicit sponsors for their own rounds.
To maximize turnout, you need to get major publicity for your event. That means putting out multiple press releases, getting local media coverage from newspapers and television stations, and placing ads in the sports section of the local paper.
For the best results, put your press releases out through PR Web. Appoint a spokesperson to handle all media contacts and follow-up. For more tips, read my article on fundraising publicity.
Charity Pledges
The key is getting each player to collect a certain amount of pledges. I recommend a minimum of $100 per player in pledges. I've also played in tournaments where that number was $250 per player.
Obviously, you want to motivate the participants to raise as much money as possible. Some groups offer incentives for the top pledge getters. Others seek corporate sponsorships for that firm's players.
Pledge amounts determine the success of your charity golf event, so get input from experienced golfers and golf pros in your area.
Top Golfer Prizes
Generally speaking, you'll draw more golfers if you have great prizes for longest drive, closest to the hole, hole in one, lowest team score, lowest actual score, and best adjusted score (handicap).
You solicit local merchants to sponsor those prizes. Work with an insurance-related prize company for things like the hole-in-one contest. That way you can offer a bigger prize for a much lower outlay.
Aim to get 100 golfers (25 foursomes) and your small group could easily raise $10,000 or more. Larger turnouts will net even more with some charity golf tournaments drawing 500 golfers competing for big prizes.

Taylormade Burner Superfast Fairway Wood
To be honest, the TaylorMade Burner SuperFast fairway wood is one of my golf clubs. I have owned it three months ago. It is very special and awesome!
It features an improved SuperFast Technology which promotes higher swing speeds, hotter ball speed, and up to 10 yards more distance than the Burner 08 fairway woods. It also features a larger, more expansive clubface that is both easier to hit and confidence inspiring. It is the largest steel-headed fairway wood that TaylorMade has produced to date.
The last feature is a "fast-looking" triangular head shape that due to its larger size should help to give you more confidence when addressing the ball and also provides more forgiveness, which is something we could all use a bit more of.
It appears, at least at the present time, that TaylorMade is moving a bit away from the moveable weight technology that had made up a great deal of their woods and hybrids line of the past several years and offering several categories of products for various caliber of golfers under the Burner name.
At last, I must say that I like the looks of the Burner Superfast Fairway Woods. If you are going to buy discount golf clubs, maybe this is your right answer.

Morrisson defends ‘Best of the Rest’ event
While Europe’s elite battle it out at the Volvo World Matchplay Championship in Andalucia, the rest of the European Tour will be out in the Atlantic for the Madeira Islands Open.
The event, co-sanctioned with the Challenge Tour, offers an inviting opportunity for others to make their mark. And James Morrison did just that in 2010 when he held off Oliver Fisher to claim his maiden European Tour title. And despite the leading players not being present, the Englishman is expecting a stiff test this week.
“Anyone can win in any given week,” the 26-year-old told the European Tour website. “Even though I’d had some decent results going into the tournament last year, probably not many people gave me much chance of winning. Yet I didn’t lose the lead from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon, so favourites mean very little.”
Morrison has had a disappointing start to the season, missing five consecutive cuts. But form has improved and he finished in a tie for seventh at the Ballantine’s Championship.
“I changed my coach after the Gulf Swing and we took a good look at my game and sorted out a few of the underlying technical issues,” he explained. “So I feel much better about my game now, because I’m now looking at the root causes and not trying to fix it with a band-aid.
“My season started in Andalucia really, and I had a few good weeks out in Asia which have really turned things around for me, so I’m very happy at the moment.”
I’m now at the point of my career where keeping my card is no longer my main focus – I’m more interested in the World Ranking and The Race to Dubai, and the best way to go about climbing both is by winning tournaments, so that’s what I’ll be trying to do this week, as every week.
