It's for: All skill levels

Josh Breier, Principal Design Lead
Engineer:
"We developed a new outer head
shape and internal geometry for 'hotter
9-point' performance. Each model has a
distinct center-of-gravity location to provide
optimum ball-flight conditions for all player types
and ball speeds. We also adjusted face geometry to
maximize efficiency and ball speed across the face.
Longer length [45.5'] and lighter overall weight [by 6
grams] mean higher ball speeds for all player types."

How it works: The new stick is shorter from face to
rear than Speed LD, narrower from heel to toe and
has a more rounded topline and leading edge. This
profile (5 percent less overall surface area) delivers a
bigger hitting area while freeing up more weight than
in the Speed LD. As a result, the S9-1 is more stable
(higher MOI) and has a hotter face (faster ball speed).
A dual-rhombus pattern behind the clubface is used
to shore up ball speed on off-center contact.

Each S9-1 model (Pro, F, M, M Offset) has specific
internal weighting and matching shaft to max-out
ball speed for targeted player types. For example,
the center of gravity gets more draw-biased as you
graduate from S9-1 Pro to S9-1 M Offset. S9-1 Pro
D and S9-1 Pro S (light composite crown and a
swingweight screw in the sole) are built for guys
with 150+ mph ball speeds who benefit from high
launch, low spin and added workability. Most
golfers, however, require the S9-1 F (125-155
mph ball speed) or S9-1 M (<140 mph).
