What about for a fade? You guessed it, the exact opposite, position the 16g weight on the toe and the 1g weight in the heel to help slow down the closing of the face. So to hit a draw, all you would do is put your 16g weight on the heel and put your 1g weight on the toe. So what if you want to achieve the same result but just by using the position of weight in the club head? All you would need to do is make sure the toe is lighter than the heel of the club. So what you’re essentially doing is closing the toe of the club even more as the head goes through the hitting zone. If you’re trying to hit a draw you’d try to rotate your right hand a little more through impact to close the face through impact. If you think logically about how the weight is positioned around the perimeter of the club head you’ll see that this is all pretty easy to comprehend. You can use MWT on top of FCT to increase the draw or fade bias you want even more. If you try to use simple logic and physics, then you shouldn’t have too much of a problem mastering Taylormade’s MWT technology. MWT Instructions for Each Weight Configuration The negative numbers for trajectory bias mean a bias to the left or a draw bias.įCT Position, Face Angle, Lie, Loft, Trajectory Bias Note: The lofts in the below chart are when the club head is square. The following charts show you how each FCT position effects the face angle, lie, loft, and trajectory bias. You’ll find more detailed information below on how the position of each weight affects the trajectory. The R9 driver comes standard with two 1 gram weights and one 16 gram weight. This in turn has a profound effect on the trajectory of the ball. This technology allows you to move the center of gravity (CG) in the club head by changing the position of weight around the perimeter of the head. Taylormade’s Moveable Weight Technology (MWT) was first introduced in the r7 Quad driver several years ago.
You will find a chart below for each loft that shows how each FCT setting affects the trajectory and specs of the driver. The FCT settings affect the face angle, loft, and lie which in turn manipulates the trajectory of the ball. The change the FCT setting, you just use the wrench to unscrew the shaft, turn it to the setting you want, and screw it back in. There are four main FCT (Flight Control Technology) options, N, NU, R, L, and four more settings in between for a total of eight FCT settings. First we’ll give basic definitions of each with detailed instructions to follow. Taylormade Golf has combined two of their best customization features, FCT and MWT, into one golf club.
