My R11 should be coming in the next few days and i really have no idea how to fit it with the ball path and what not. Ive tried to look around on the internet and see if its explained but havent found anything.

Does anyone know how or know of a place that explains it?

Here are some quick tips:

  • Determine if you want the "draw" or "neutral" ball flight. This is controlled by moving the weights in the back of the club. With the 10g weight in the heel you'll have more of a "draw" bias.
  • Next, determine if you want a higher or lower ball flight. You adjust this by changing the settings where the shaft connects with the hosel. Be careful with this - if you adjust for higher flight, the club face will appear more closed - and vice versa for for lowering the ball flight.
  • The sole-plate adjusting is only applicable if you ground your club at address. If you adjusted to achieve a higher ball flight by tuning the shaft, you should set the sole-plate to "open" if you ground your club. Vice versa if you adjusted for lower ball flight.

Your best bet is to head to your local golf shop and spend 30 minutes getting fit. They will analyze ball speed, launch angle and spin rate to make a recommendation on what settings fit you best.

    • Day 35 (15 Dec 25) - Short session today focused on exaggerated weight shift using left heel trigger.  Hit a few pitches using the process to help capture the feel. 
    • Day 125 12-15 Half swings with flow drill. Focused on rhythm, loading trail side then getting to lead side correctly. Hit a few foam balls but mostly drilling without ball. 
    • recently introduced to the cmb's and love them.   got me started looking at the a12 pros and the cb1's.   any input on either of these?     
    • Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.
    • I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.
