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 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well. 
    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands
