I couldn't agree more. And I love the way you jump down after the ball but stripe it up the middle! I still play the R9 with the 65 shaft and have for years - many younger players look to see what I hit because it sounds so good, and has such a great ball flight. I loaded the weights to the max I could get around for consistency and inertia, and it works great. I'm 58 and still outdrive many young guys with the latest and greatest equipment. Gotta love the older TM's.
As a beginner getting into golf, these videos are invaluable! Its crazy how cheap these second hand drivers are. I bought the callaway diablo after seeing one of your videos. Really happy with it. Keep it up mate.
Played one of these for years. Great head shape and hit my longest ever drives with it. The trick was to set the sleeve all the way open and then stick the 16g weight in the heel.
Had a Tour Issue Superdeep with Speeder 757 tour spec in 10.5 about 8-10 years ago. Used to hit Par 4s with it regularly. Monster drives with the wind behind but into wind it used to balloon and I didn't have the "spin knowledge" I have now. Happier with the SLDR and happier again with my Epic but dont hit those odd 350 yarders anymore which were so much fun but I also don't balloon it much anymore. Thanks Simon for bringing the memories back to life. And awesome hitting mate! 👌💪
OMG my heart just dropped when I saw you reviewing this club. I am a huge fan of TaylorMade and this club would be amazing in my bag considering I am without driver right now. My wife was loading my clubs in the back of my SUV and when she shut the hatch it crushed my old TaylorMade aeroburner and I have been driving with an old cobra baffler XL 3 wood. With driver prices the way they are today my wife won't let me spend the money to buy a new one so this would be an answer to my current situation. Love all the content you provide, keep up the good work
THANKS FOR WATCHING GUYS! Comment below what you want to see in the next episode of Bargain Golf Review!
Being a blue collar shlub I always look forward to your second hand reviews. New clubs are a pipe dream for when the kids are out of the house lol. Keep it up my man. Look forward to the next.
I have had that very same bat in my bag. Loved it from the moment it came out and I hit lovely long draws with it at a TM sponsored range day. But it’s the traditional look that drew me it first. Great stick.
Just purchased 2nd hand R9 irons and they are fantastic. Feel so confident standing above the ball, mentality is so much more important than people realise. Knowing that I have quality in my bag has changed my game. Maybe when I've cured my slice I can move away from my SLDR to the R9 Driver
Love the R9. Keeps up with many of today's drivers. Like to see some bargain adjustable Hybrids.
My mate had an R9 and I had a go with it and absolutely loved it great driver
Amazing video. I still own the R9 460.. could never part ways. I use it from time to time. Awesome sound too. My other driver is the ping G400 max, only advantage is that The ping misses are a more forgiving and not punishing. This driver is forgiving too, But not as much as the Ping G400 max. But when I play my TM R9 The sound and the trajectory itself brings a smile to my face. Especially when I outdrive the other guys I always like to say I am hitting a 10 to 13 years old driver. You should see the look on their faces. Keep it up from USA CT
I'd love to try a modern driver, I've been using old Dunlop diamond max metal woods for about 5-6 years now and I've honestly been in love with taylomade golf clubs since they released the r11 and r11s series. Something that would be interesting to see in an upcoming video would be a comparison between current driving irons and hybrids to see which are more forgiving and would be better suited for mid to high handicap golfers.
The R9 series is great, I play the 5 Ti Wood and it goes as far as any new fairway wood. I'd like to see reviews of something exotic like old Taylor Made or Mizuno hybrids, or hybrid shafts in a fairway wood or driver head. Love your channel, because your reviews are unbiased!
I had the regular R9 driver and loved it. Very forgiving driver. 🏌🏻♂️🏌🏻♂️👍👍
Thank you for making these videos. I love seeing older gear that still keeps up with modern offerings.
I'm a fan of the underdog, so I'd be interested in seeing some lesser known brands on your channel. The big guys already have enough of the market share. :)
The Driver was even better than I expected! BIG numbers, especially for the age
Would love to have it in my bag 😍
Would be great to see high loft wedges next please!
Just love the look of this driver. I made a joke about roofing this in the last video, but would seriously love to try it. I think it would be fantastic if you were able to find some stupidly cheap iron sets for this series, but realise how tough that is going to be if you aren't trawling the charity shops.
Perfect! I play this driver with joy! Bought a perfect condition, stiff shaft, for around a 100 pounds. Hit it with a controlled swing about 280 yards. Works so good for me. No way I give 1000 pounds for a new driver that does the same job and looks the same
would you know how to avoid a late fade by adjusting the weights and loft
I and my brother played the R9 460 for years and loved them, tried others during that time but stuck with them for maybe 5 plus years. Great drivers.
What are u using now?
@@ailous626 Using the 2020 Cobra Speed zone Extreme with upgrade shaft VA Vylyn 55 gram regular, before that the Cobra f8 driver, I'm thinking the f8 might go back in the bag though with the VA Vylyn shaft in it.
I remember testing that driver when it was brand new. I think it was over $600.00 back then. I was testing the regular R9 460 and the smaller one, I think 440 cc or 400cc. I can't remember. I think it was set at 6 degrees. I hit one drive 330 yards out of about ten drives. The rest went about 175 yards all over the place. I went with the regular 460 R9. I still have it. I used it today for a quick 9 holes. I like old drivers too. I have a few...
I love this idea for these videos man! Keep them coming!
I still think you should do a chipper. Great club for an average golfer to pick up cheap, saves shots. Great work as ever! Swing is looking good too, hope you're mending 💪
Simon , Great Driver !! Love your videos !!
That driver looks awesome I'm new to golf and wouldn't of thought it was ten years old,great vid as always simon
Wow! Your swing is impressive. I started golf 14years ago. But took a long break and picked the clubs back up early this year. Been looking for a driver to replace mine since the one I have is about 15-16 years old 😂. Keep up the good work!!
You simply must test the Adams 9064ls, or the 9032. Low spin monsters and at least in the 9064ls, surprisingly easy to control. Best driver I've ever owned.
Love it dude! Crazy to see hot viable older clubs still are today. Hope i can get the chance to hit a R9 one day. I've only heard good things about it.
Me, me, me. I want it!! Great vid, beasty drives!! Next should be budget beginner irons. But that needs a whole lot of views to make it happen. Tell your friends people!!! Get that budget up.
GLAD to meet my lovely driver R9 here : )
Man I could use this driver for sure. I loved the R series and miss them. Wish I could've ever afforded one
Great content Simon! I have the super deep head, as well as the regular R9 and the R11 and they are true fairway finders. Would love to see a review of an RBZ fairway or Adams super xtd ti
Cobra f6 baffler 5 wood. The one with the rails, and adjustable weights would be an awesome test.... or even better Nike forged pro combo, the original combo iron set-up. I think they were the best set of clubs I ever played, can be found very very affordable online. Nice set for someone to break into using players type clubs
I had a feeling this driver wouldn’t disappoint, still amazed at just how fast it accelerates the ball, wow
Thanks for explaining the technical bit. I could actually follow and understand you! Hybrids or long irons next please?
Yes, as you mentioned. This v TS1
Think I know who may have the XStiff shaft on a TP R9. But it might be stiff.
I know his is the 8.5 deg. I can ask him for you if you like.
Would love this driver... looking to get back into golf more and want to build my bag better on a budget.
Love to see bladed iron set
Budget set of irons next!!!!! Especially how an older (non fitted) set compare to modern (fitted) iron sets. Very interested in the differing amounts of distance and spin.
Wow great video. Just bought this at a garage sale for 80$ with a stiff shaft and am trying it out. Can you tell me how to adjust the weights to avoid a late fade and get more distance . its a beautiful looking driver. The new Calloway's are 600 to 700 $ in Canada so this was a steal.
Would love to see some bargain blades next! Keep them coming. Love it.
It is a beautiful head. Would like to see you test the R9 Superdeep vs the anything from the Bang family of long drive heads.
Would love to see a review on my favorite driver/shaft combo of all time, the Titleist 983e with the Speeder shaft.
David Bascio my favourite driver of all time is the 905r
I’d love that driver in my bag. Looks great & performance is clearly up there 👌🏼
Great video Simon a other Taylormade classic driver Taylormade burner TP all black model carbon crown I still play one today a true bomber
Really nice intro, a beast of a driver.
Great video, I’ve only ever had 3 wood so never looked at driver before due to the high costs for new drivers these days.
Would love the driver. I like the higher look from top to bottom . great videos 👍👍
I knew you would smash that thing it’s a weapon, I had one and would loved it, it really is as good as anything nowadays, would like to see you do some fairway woods
I would love to see you come up with some sort of grading system for your bargain club reviews. That way, for each club type, we could take the score/grade and price we can find these bargains for and decide whether it's worth taking a club out of the bag and spending anything at all.
I’ve low key been wanting one of these for years. Would love to see fairway woods next!
Love this series! Utility iron next please!
I'd say most forgiving fairway woods on the cheap! nice drives Simon!!
Would love to see a review of the Adams CMB irons. Just bought a set for my back up bag and have always loved them. Love the channel. Thanks
I love mine, have it with an Atlas t2 shaft
An older chipping wedge for the next one. Love this series.
importedice did you see my wedge review? Or an old expensive secondhand one you thinking?
Great vid and I love what you are doing. Hats off to Taylor made, they have been building great drivers for years... NOW find a new unknown budget driver that out performs a new high-end driver from your usual suspects like Cobra, Ping, Callaway, Titleist.... Good luck. BTW 🤫 Bombtech do a good budget driver
Driving irons are a big thing now and at a big price also. Seeing a bargain driving iron that performs well would be cool
An old set of irons that come with a gap wedge in set to see if having a set gap wedge matching the other irons is beneficial
Loving these reviews Simon, keep up the good work!
Would be great to see you do a set of beginner/improvement irons in this Challenege.
Would love to see an old 7 wood test haha and that driver is an absolute beast, and would slot right in my bag nicely as I’m looking for an x stiff shafted wood. Keep up the great videos 🤙🏼
Loving this. Game improvement irons next please.
Love the look of this driver! I would like to see a budget game improvement iron
A putter review or wedge would be great.
Love these reviews keep it up.
I recently snapped the shaft of my driver and can’t afford to buy a new one yet , would love to see a video in a driving iron 👍
I always buy used. Definitely the way to go.
Great video. Would love to see a lob wedge
Thank you for the club reviews. Any Bombtech gear reviews would be great, thanks again.
Love the look of this driver, would love to see mid-high handicap irons please ⛳
Nice to see a driving iron after your recent ping video!
This driver looks great👍
I would love to see cavity irons next
Simon, please do a bargain review of the Callaway ft iz driver. I game one 9 degree and it is a fairway finder. Not going to be the longest but it is high MOI. For it's age I think it compares nicely to the Ping g 400 max and the Cobra f9. Would like to see how someone with your swing speed would get on with it.
After the putter I think you should try and get your hands on some forged irons
Looking forward to seeing the R9 again with a stiffer shaft.
My friend actually just broke my driver, so I desperately need one as I am to broke to buy another nice one.
Next video should be, Does a damaged ball still fly as far as a regular ball?? Like if it had a small cut in it or something.
Great video. I am very interested in seeing a second hand 2 iron review. Thanks for the great reviews.
Great series. I’m a high spin player that has struggled to find a 4-5 wood. Is there a good bargain club out there for us high spin, high ball flight golfers?
When I changed from my R9 to the SLDR once i used it for a month I knew I had made a mistake. I always thought the R9 was a more asy to hit driver
Great vid and the driver looks awesome :) I’m just getting back into golf with my sons and your videos are super useful, was going to pick up a Slazenger starter sets for them. .......NOT NOW ..... what would you say is the best driver for a beginner in this price range ?
Would love to see some reviews of component equipment. Here in the states, Maltby stuff has a good reputation
I'd like to see how the older irons compare to today's irons. Needs to be loft vs. loft, rather than a particular number.
I think if you put a HZRDUS X Flex in that head, it'd be an absolute beast for you.
So much for new tech eh? I still feel like I hit my best drives with my old Callaway FT 5!
Still got my TP superdeep in the garage, it may get a day at the range tomorrow after this...
King Cobra 460 F Speed or Nike Covert 2 drivers have been my favorite I've ever played with.
Ping g driver would be great to see. Just got one and hoping it’ll be worth it.
Would like to see a video with best budget friendly 3 wood Or mini driver! I used to have the R7 SuperQuad and I loved it! Would love to win the R9 SuperDeep. Keep up the great content
You should definitely do a video on Ben Ross equipment, mainly because that's what I've ended up with in my bag :)
I have the r9 3 wood and it's solid!! Would like to see a high lofted wedge review
love it! Ping Copper Beryllium
Dad joke intro - love it!
A putter would be good, is there a
would love to see a vid of a 1 iron mate
he's done it I think
Old 1 irons have the same loft as modern 3-4 irons just the tech back then made them so hard to hit... a modern 1 iron isn’t usually an actual iron from a set but more a driving iron with a head full of technology
Would love to see a bargain putter. Keep up the great work.
My stepdad (2 handicap) gave me his 9.5 r9 and I won’t get rid of it until it breaks. My dad has a brand new ping driver and I still out drive him every hole. I feel like unless your shooting close to par; using the newest clubs doesn’t really make a difference. Find a club that works for you and go with it.
I used to use my dads big Bertha that was like 10+ years old while golfing in high school against kinds with brand new drivers and Would still out drive them
How about utility clubs?
Great vid. Would be great to see some fairway wood tests
Awsum vid I'd luv this ... can u do vid on the 1st Callaway fusion erc which I still use today and still banging big drives out even as an ole man 👍👍
Would love to see some forged irons. Also looking forward to the putter review 👍
I agree with others on mid handicap irons.
Would love to see a five wood and how the spin rates compare to today’s models.
I’d love that driver . I’m getting back into golf and need an entire bag... good first step!?!?
My longest drives were always with my Ping G5 . Wish I still had it!
