Just reading your post makes it seem as though you are a high double digit handicap player so naturally the maximum 460cc clubhead size is going to benefit you more than the smaller R9. You should be hitting the R9 460 which is the equal of the Nike. Also, it's important to realize that everyone's swing is different and that the best way to get new clubs is to get professionally fit. This process is usually included in the cost of the club and will help your game a lot more than wacking through a bucket of balls blindly. Specifically the proper loft and shaft flex is very important in launch angle and spin rate which will directly correlate to driving distance.
