Who's playing the R11 out there?

If so, how are you liking it?

I played my first round last weekend. Very windy, so I can't really quantify, but...... Here's my thoughts

1.) Longer than my last driver (FT-5) by quite a bit. I'm guessing I'm picking up at least 10 yards

2.) I may pick up more, because I definately didn't have the settings dialed in. It's very important with this club to take the time at the range and play with the adjustments. I hit a lot of balls since and think I'm in a much better place.

3.) the White doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would

4.) lines up well and gives confidence that it's easy to hit

Glad you like the new driver.  I was wondering how easy / hard it is to make adjustments on it.  I'm guessing it's not too bad if you can do it at the range.

I love mine...have to say it's staying in the bag a long time. and it's certainly the longest i've ever hit. adjustments were easy at the range, took just a little time in 2 range sessions to get it dialed in. hits like a truck...

Its been in my bag for a few weeks now, only play a couple of actual rounds but been on the driving range a bunch. I switched from an R9, mainly because I could not stand the sound the R9 made. I was fortunate enough to have a couple of demo days to try Callaway, Nike, Mizuno and the R11. Titleist was not at either demo day with their drivers, only ball fitting. Coming for an R9, I knew something about the R11 and was able to adjust it pretty quickly, I was sold on it during the demo day because it was flying further and straighter than any of the other drivers I tried. The Nike rep tried real hard, switching shafts and heads, but in the end nothing else proved to as good  as the R11.   On the course now, I am hitting further than the R9, comparing landing areas and approach shots. I haven't really looked at the driving stats much, because 2 rounds isn't much data, after next week I should have about 5 more rounds in the database to compare.

Switched from the 09 Burner. Got my R11 today and went PROMPTLY to the range.

Hit a few shots with the "stock" settings. Was pulling it left. Changed the sole plate to "open." That was the initial tweak. Club looked better at address and I was hitting it straight, maybe slightly faded. Felt like I was still hitting it too high, not as "piercing" as I would like. So, second adjustment was the loft to the "Lower" setting. That is where I left it. Was very happy with the 20 or so shots I hit from then on.

Left the range, went back in and got a cart and played nine holes. Have to say I am VERY happy so far. I love the distinct sound it makes. And I agree with previous poster who noted additional length. I played my "home" course so I am very familiar with where I typically hit my drives. I forgot my SkyCaddie so I don't have exact numbers, but I would estimate I was 10 yards or so longer than normal. Maybe even more on one or two holes.

First impression: She's a keeper!

i have not been on the course with mine yet but i did just get home from my second range session this week with it.

my first session was very...lets just say...depressing...swing was just off all day. it was the first time i used the R11 and it didnt take long before i but it right back in the bag due to frustration with how bad my swing was. i went today and my swing finally started coming around..took out the driver and was averaging 260-270 with it. my settings as of right now are

1) face set to closed

2) loft set to standard

3) counter weights set neutral.

i am still trying to play around with the loft a bit to try and see what i get the most distance with. all in all the club is great. i find it pretty light. there is a distinct sound with it also, so you can tell when you hit it "right"

i am looking to get out on the course within the end of the week. here in the boston area the weather is finally starting to look promising.

Have only had a chance to use mine for 2 rounds so far.  First impressions are that it's an all around better driver than my Callaway FT-IZ.  Misses are better, I was able to adjust the loft setting to gain a few yards, my misses are better, and my drives are farther than with the Cally.  Very happy with the R11.

Just bought me one, went to the range.  Best driver i've spent money on, i kinda played around with the settings.  So far neutral setting work best for me, i bought the 9 degree.  First outing will be this sunday, that'll be the true test...I'll let you no after that....

Thought I would offer my experience with the r11.   I was playing a supertri 10.5 with a fubuki 73 s...   Loved this combo but spun just a tad to much....  I bought a tp7hd in stiff and loved  this shaft combo..   The new R11 came out and I had to try it.  Well I noticed that it seemed to fly a little flatter during the demo.   I ended up buying a 9 degree to see if I could get a little more roll then the supertri.  First day out I stuck in the tp7hd and hit some major bombs.   was very happy for a day or two until i noticed that I started to struggle with thin hits and poor contact.  This happens when I dtruggle to get the launch conditions by playing a lower loft or x flex... I decide that I would try the 10.5 as i hated the faced closed..   Boom  there it was  nice high flat bombs.....  Adjusted the sole plate to open loft to -.5  with 10 in toe and 4 in the heel..     Been loving it up until the last week or so...   I have been working with Dan Whitaker and must say it has helped.  I have started to hit the ball further and the TP7hd  (258 cpm)   started to become hard to control..   I tried tipping this morning and did not like the results one bit...   I brought my fubuki with me and I put that in for the back nine.  Fubuki (cpm265)  fits me so much better..  I started to have ultra control like I am used to..     With all this I believe the R11 to be better then the supertri as it is a lower spinning head.   I think the key to this head is to likely play the higher loft and find the right shaft and you will have great driver...
