  1. 1. Do you find the new Taylormarde R11 Driver commercial "Fun" or "Annoying"?

    • It's a FUN commercial, I like the song and it's 'catchy'!
      8
    • It's annoying, I can't stand it, makes me want to poke a sharp stick in my eye.

So, after watching the Sony Open and the NFL Playoffs, I swear I've seen the new R11 commercial about 20 times already.  At first it was kinda fun, now it's getting very annoying.  What do you think?

I find myself trying to name / guess what driver it is as they scroll by, than remembering what the commercial is for.  Not sure if it's an effective commercial for TM.

I think it's fantastic.  Yes it's overplayed, but it's a lot of fun too.

When I first saw the commercial I knew exactly who it was and what it was advertising.  You know that eventually a white driver head is going to come on the screen.  I was just surprised how long it took them they went through about 15 black driver heads before getting to the R11.  I almost turned it off but I wanted to see if I was right.  Its ok I have only seen it the one time but I think its too long they could probably cut it down some.

Love it.

It's funny. I did enjoy trying to pick out which drivers were there too. Also this is the only time I've ever seen the commercial so my opinion on it being overplayed is invalid.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

That commercial is making me want to go out and buy myself my first callaway driver. I really like the look of it from the R11 commercial and the aiming aid logo of the callaway has to be the best of all the drivers shown ......... and the callaway isnt a hideous white colour

It was funny the first 20 views...the 21st view began its decline...the commercial is a one trick pony.

Has anyone seen the newer ones? They still have the "One of these things is not like the other" song playing in the background, but not the whole thing and they put some sound effects and technical sounds over it. It's a lot less annoying.

It's annoying for anyone who had/has kids and heard the real Sesame Street song.  I want to grab the Ad people by the collar and yell at them to "sing the damn song right will ya!!".

The R11 driver ad is easily as awesom as the R11 driver.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.

      Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
