Member Reviews: TaylorMade R11 Driver

I got this club as an 18th birthday gift and I can't say enough about. I was originally interested in it as my miss is a very big fade slice out to in coming over the top. I find the club swans nicely, and i can really tune to my ideal shot shape Tuning is fun and simple, great looking club, and long. I have added about 10 extra yards of carry and the ball runs for a mile. Great club highly recommend it

Bought this when my PGA Pro told me I needed a stiff shaft. Tried many clubs, including ping k15, titleist d3, titleist d2, callaway razr hawk, ping g15. This was the most consistent, and gave me the best ball shape.   originally I was put off by the adjustibality- I had images of myself forever playing with it blaming my bad golf on the wrong set up. Once I got it set up though, I've never touched it.    I hear people say its not forgiving... what? my off centre hits go a long way, as far as my previous diablo octane (which was no slouch) but the centre hits are bombs.    It is a bit numb for feedback as others have mentioned.   Overall,...

It was time to finally acquire a new driver.  I didn't care what brand.  No brand loyalty here.  In fact, I tried 2 Callaways, Cobra, Taylormade Superfast and Superfast 2.0, Adamsgolf, and a couple of others.  I'm convinced that one club may work for one golfer; another club works great for another golfer.  The R11 clearly works for me.  It has added a few yards to my drive.  But I needed to hit fairways more consistently.  Added distance has been gravy.  What I know is this:  The R11 is proving to keep me  in the short grass!   The original settings are just right for me, too.  And it feels really good to swing.  ...

I consistently drive the ball 250y - 265y.  With this driver, it brought my distance to 300y (on a good drive).  The ball rolls for DAYS!  The white face is easy to align and pleasing to look down on.  The dull white finish leaves no glair from the sun.  The price I paid was steep but you can find a new one on eBay for under $300 now.  I have nothing bad to say about this club at all.  

After not playing for some time i this season picked up my game again,by playing more my swingspeed went up with about 10 m/ph. i was jusing a cobra S9-1 with a pro launch blue shaft stiff. and loft of 10.5. i was hitting the ball so high that i could not hit it into the wind, wel only 200 yrd. so i was searching for a new one. and found it:     Was just on the range with my all new Taylormade R11 TP driver 9.0 loft I have the aldila R.I.P. stiff shaft in   My first shots went solid of the clubface, this club gives alot of confidence at adress. Only i had the feeling i was hitting them to far left ( draw ) so what i did i opened the soleplate  ...

I bought this driver two days ago and absolutly LOVE IT. Plus I couldnt beat the price, I paid 300 for the driver and a Odyssey putter.

I've been a TaylorMade guy for a long time. And I must say the R11 is the best driver they have ever made.  It's easy to adjust and is LONG!!!

I was very skeptical of the hype of the R11 at first. I was also in the market this coming season for a new driver (swing changes, increased flexibility led to greater swing speed). After hitting up dick's sporting goods with my dad at lunch, I swung the new Callaway Razr Hawk, TaylorMade Superfast Burner 2.0, Nike Machspeed Black (round head), Nike VR Pro, Cobra ZL, Adams Speedline Fast10, and the TaylorMade R11. When all was said and done I went home with the new R11. I was averaging around 152 ball speed, 12* launch angle giving me around 270 on average off the tee with my farthest drive at 290 and my shortest at 262. ALL of them carried 250 or more. I cannot tell enough people about...

I believe it is great to have a driver that you can actually tune to an individual's exact game.   I hit a demo the 14th and was blown away with the ball coming off the face.  I have a ruptured disc in my lower back and was only swinging with my arms.  I put my body behind one and jumped it out past the 250 yard mark.  Every time I hit the ball it was either dead center or just a little off.  I offered to buy the demo.   I came back the next day when the clubs were in and picked one up.   Again I have a ruptured disc so I did not swing the R11 until yesterday in warm up before a captain's choice.   My first drive...
