Pros: great look, good feel

Cons: it's allot of money

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

 

after that my ballflight was alot better, i'm gained about 15 yards on my driver compared to my old one the Cobra S9-1.

 

I was off taylormade for the driver for at least 6 years because i could not hit them straight, think because of the offset, but now that we can change almost the whole club i gave it a try, and i liked it from first time on.

i can recommend it to everybody! it will bennefit all types of players from pro's to hdc 30

have fun

Honestly, I think this club is almost the equivalent of a Muscleback blade. It's not very forgiving, so I rather doubt a high handicapper can appreciate this club to its full potential.
The supertri TP is more forgiving IMHO and I owned both.
So this driver forces you to hit it at the sweetspot. At least that's based on my experience.
I typically shoot low to mid 90's and this driver has changed my game. I always played a bit of a fade but after playing with the adjustments a bit I am ripping drives right down the middle. This game is so much easier when playing from the fairway. My last 18 I shot an 85 and I attribute much of that to being more in play with way no penalty strokes off the tee. I respectfully disagree with the preivious post as with all the adjustments you can make with this club I think it becomes very forgiving.
@ Sai-Jin
Your right on the sweetspot part, the 3 parts you can ajust in this club will make it easier for all people to hit sweetspot,
and you can ajust ballflight, most high hdc players are hitting big fades, when in closed setting the ball will fly straighter. maybe
even a draw. offcenter shots will not go as far, but if its in the fairway who cares to be 10 yards shorter??
