Taylormade R9 TP B

All different serial #'s

I recently purchased a set of R9 TP B irons from a private party. It seems to be a matched set, same Project X shafts and same Golf Pride grips, but each club has a different serial number on the hosel. I contacted Taylomade by email and by phone to see if they had an explanation for it, but they could tell me nothing, even when I gave them all eight serial numbers. Taylormade's serial number program is a joke. I can call Ping with a serial number and they can give a whole list of information about that club even from 20 years ago. When it was made, who it was made for, specs, etc. Anyway, does anyone know why all eight clubs would have different serial numbers. Please don't tell me they're fakes. I have seen fakes many times and these are not fakes.

I don't think that they are fakes. I just bought a set of the R9 TP Bs from a legitimate seller - and every club in the set had a different serial number.

Cheers,

Chris

Weight sorted heads?

Thanks for your reply......."Weight sorted heads"? I don't know what that means.

It means that the TM iron heads produced and stamped with T serial numbers are for tour use. They are sorted by weight for head to head progresion so that in most cases when they are shafted, they won't need and tip weights to make swingweight with a given iron shaft model. Don't give it a second thought, they are legit sets. I have both r9 B and MB ZTP sets that have missmatched Txxx serial numbers, and the heads sets were both very well matched by weight and esthetically. Both are exceptional sets, that I set up so I can go full sets or combo.

If the B's have no offset and the C's have +2mm offset---does that mean the C's have +2mm through the set or +2mm MORE offset on every iron than the regular R9TP's

Thanks very much. That is very helpful information.

I have a set as well, and all have different serial #'s. I was able to get confirmation from TM that they are indeed the real deal.

The C's have 2mm offset in every club, not 2mm more than something else. Mine have the epoxy drying on them now. Can't wait until March or April depending on how late the thaw is in Central WI. And as said above the each head in the these sets will have a different Txxx serial number.

I have a set of TM R9 TP "B" with the Prototype Monaco (Copper) shafts all with different TXXXXX Serial #s as well

I just got a set and they have mismatched serials as well. Glad I found this!

just recenlty seen the "C" and really like them.. Been searching on here for a set to buy but aren't having any luck. Saw this post and thought I'd ask some of you guys where you're purchasing your sets from???

Thanks for your time!!
