lol I wish I had problem with a draw!

no emblem problems with my sticks yet but I have noticed that underneath the R9 clubface (cosmetic side) where the angles meet the paint has chipped about an inch on a couple of my clubs. it doesn't bother me though.

After reading much of this thread I have to agree with most of what JB has said about these irons....I notice they have a spot in his bag My story is that this is my third set of irons in a year and half as I have been learning much about the golf swing (decided in the fall of 2008 to learn...

JB Were you using CG15 or TM xFT wedges today?

My R9s came back from TM today! I am playing tomorrow and can't wait to get these back in my bag.

I've got 2 rounds in with my trial R9 7 iron and so far I am impressed, however, I am not sure if it is the iron or the shaft that is helping my game. There is a huge difference in shaft flex from the R9 stiff KBS vs. my Project X 6.5 shafts.
