Some review from golfer:
I have been playing golf for close to 27 years with several years of breaks in between. In the past when buying new clubs, pretty much any set I bought was an improvement over what I was playing. TaylorMade R9 Irons. As my game started to improve I started paying more attention to what equipment I was putting in my bag. The last set I purchased was a several week process of demoing several sets then narrowing it down and demoing some more until I found the set I liked.
Well enough of my backstory.... I'd like to thank TaylorMade for giving me the opportunity to evaluate the new R9 TP Irons. I was selected to test these due to the fact that I am around a 10 handicap and currently leaning towards a "players" iron more than a "game improvement" iron. TaylorMade R7 TP Irons. Not that my game doesn't need improvement it is just I find that GI clubs tend to be more offset which encourages more of a right to left flight for my game and usually have a thicker top line which at address I don't care much for

I purchased these to have something more forgiving since I was playing Ping I3 blades. Since I don't play as often I decided to buy something that would dampen mishit. I have a personal driving range and I found that my swing fault followed me, go figure :) Anyway, my 1st round was a disaster, but it wasn't the clubs. After the disaster I practiced all week with them, along with a major revision in my setup and shot 73 in my second round with them. So, they were redeemed. One thing I've noticed is that the offset is hidden well in the design of the club. I have never cared for offset, but it's almost invisible in this club. They feel really good in my hands and the thicker sole from the Ping's now seem normal.
