I'm trying to see what driver I should get. Its between the R11 and the Burner superfast 2.0. I know what both of them offer but I dont know if getting the r11 is worth the more money im gonna spend on it. Any thoughts?

Hit them.  Doesn't matter what anybody thinks other than you.  I knew immediatley that  the 2.0 was the one and the R11 was not for me.  You may be the opposite.

Give them both a decent hit then you can judge whether it's worth the extra money to get the R11 if thats the one you prefer. Everyones going to have their own personal preference, what works for one won't work for another. Personally il take recommendations from people on clubs to try out but would never buy anything without trying it first.

Personally I love the SF2.0, but I also have a swing speed of 112mph. It's totally preference hit as many balls as you can with them and use your best judgement on which suits your needs better.

With the recent price drops this might be a relevant thread again so I figured I would post my driver shopping experience today.

I don't swing very hard (around 83 on average and maybe upper 80's if the stars align with my swing, full turn, good release etc.).  Also I am 5' 4" so longer clubs tend to scare me, lol

I hit the following on 2 different monitors today.

R11 - 12*; closed setting on sole plate; 1 deg of loft added  - My average distance was about 187 - longest 210

SF 2.0 HT 13*  - I was seeing about 203 average and even got a couple out to 230 when I made perfect contact.

230 is very very long for me.

I normally get all my shafts cut down to 43"-44" range but not this time. I will just grip down so I am not fooling around and messing up the swing weight.  If I get it to the course and it becomes a slice monster I will probably have it reshafted with a shaft that plays a little shorter.

      Day 91 (1  Aug 25) - Pre-tournament practice round today…had some great up and downs for par saves.  Rain came in this evening so it will be a totally different playing course tomorrow.

      Ovvio Shafts (from GEARS)

      Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit.

      We agree here. Top of the car has a forward force, bottom of the car experiences a backward force via the braking. Both about the COM (somewhere in between). Result is a rotational flip. Since the forward force is still higher the car probably still globally travels forward. Sure, pretty basic. You really think there are deliberate twist forces applied? Like forcing the club head forward and simultaneously forcing grip end in the opposite direction? Heck I don't think we even slow down the grip end deliberately let alone force it the other way. Sorry, if I am missing something here. The orientation change is simple incidental because there is different rate of global movement of grip vs. clubhead throughout the swing. I also happen to think the best swings have the least amount of differential movement between the two end in the impact zone.  In my defense, I never thought one could do justice in covering all aspects of a golf swing in a paragraphs or two to begin with. Especially not with grade school physics..😜 Okay.
