How to Adjust the R9 460 Driver

TaylorMade designed its R9 460 drivers with both movable weight technology (MWT) in the club head and flight control technology (FCT) in the shaft. These features allow golfers to alter the trajectory of the ball to a draw, fade or neutral flight. If purchased from TaylorMade or a TaylorMade-approved vendor, the driver comes with a weight wheel explaining exactly how to situate the shaft and the weights in the head to produce the optimum ball flight for your specific skill set.

Instructions

  1. MWT

    • 1

      Insert the TaylorMade wrench into the weighted screws located at the toe, heel and back of the club head.

    • 2

      Twist the wrench counterclockwise and remove each of the weighted screws. If all the weighted screws have been removed, skip the first two steps.

    • 3

      Configure the screws into the proper formation to achieve your desired trajectory. Placing the majority of the weight in the toe will produce a fade, with the majority in the heel, a draw. The majority in the back will pull the center of gravity further from the club face to create a high trajectory.

    • 4

      Insert the weights into the weighting ports and use the TaylorMade wrench to twist them clockwise into place.

    • 5

      Make sure all of the weights all securely fastened and swing away.

    • 6

      Loosen the metal sleeve around the hosel joint of the club by twisting it counterclockwise with your hand. This is the joint linking the shaft to the club head.

    • 7

      Move the club head into your desired position. An open club head will encourage a fade, a closed club head will produce a draw and a neutral club head allows a straighter ball flight.

    • 8

      Tighten the metal sleeve around the hosel joint by twisting it clockwise once you have moved it into your desired position.
