TaylorMade R11 Driver,TaylorMade's Best Golf Driver Ever.
Building off of the massive success of the TaylorMade R7 Driver and TaylorMade R9 Driver, and TM Ghost Putters, theTaylorMade R11 Driver brings new technology, innovation, and aesthetics to the proud line of TaylorMade drivers. With it's distinctive white crown and black face, the R11 is one of the easiest drivers to align at address ever, while massive technological features ensure the proper fit for every golfer, allowing you to maximize distance through proper loft, face angle, and flight path customization. Activate the three dimensions to distance with the R11 Driver. "The satin white finish, along with the black face, creates the maximum contrast between face and crown to help you align the club more easily," says Tom Olsavsky, TaylorMade's director of product creation (metal woods). Olsavsky adds that the white finish helps to reduce the hot spots and glare often created on glossy-topped drivers. Because the club is so adjustable, ther11 driver will be available in only two lofts 9 and 10.5. Olsavsky says that's all the loft options that are required, even for Tour pros. To make his point, Olsavsky says you could theoretically set a 9 R11 to have an open face at address, a draw weight bias and an effective loft of 10. The same club could be adjusted to have a closed-face at address, a fade bias and 8 of playing loft. In addition to all that adjustability, Olsavsky says the R11's head shape is more aerodynamic, making it at least 6 yards longer than 2010's R9 SuperTri.
From Golf Magazine (March, 2011)
R11
Category:Game-Improvement Drivers
We tested: 9, 10.5 with Fujikura Blur 60 graphite
Key Technologies: "Flight Control Technology" (eight settings create +/- 1 loft change), "Moveable weight technology" (25 yards of left/right trajectory difference) and "Adjustable sole technology" (Neutral, Closed or Open for +/- 2 of face-angle adjustment) create 48 head settings.
OUR TESTERS SAY: Eye-catching, 440cc white head is one of the top-rated drivers. Excellent adjustability features contribute to straighter, longer drives.
PROS
DISTANCE: Shots range from "above average" to "bombed it, one of the longest tested" for majority of testers.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: Very consistent results, it's both highly forgiving and accurate; R11 is a straight shooter.
FEEL: Dampened, muted, soft feel with some spring in the face; a well-balanced club that's easy to swing.
PLAYABILITY: Several faster swingers make aggressive swings without fear of a hook due to clubface adjustability; many testers hit it higher than normal.
LOOK: White head looks odd initially, but a majority of testers find that the distraction quickly becomes a non-issue; white makes clubhead look larger.
CONS
The white paint job and crown graphics have detractors; a few testers don't care for cushioned impact feel.
