I decided to go over to Carl's Golfland today and demo the R11 Irons. Overall I like the irons alot! I currently have the taylormade burner 1.0 irons with std steel shafts and the reduced cavity feel and smaller top lines are great. I just need to decide now if they are worth $799!

I have the Burner '09's and find them forgiving and long. I suppose if they don't work for you for some reason, a change is warranted. But TM is notorious for introducing model after model and I find it hard to believe that the R11 can make a material difference over the Burner, which is still a pretty recent model.

In my Sun Mountain 14 Way Stand Bag:

Driver - Ping G30 10.5* : Fairway - Ping G30 18* : Hybrids - Titleist 915H 21* & 915 H 24* : Irons - Mizuno JPX 850 Forged 5 - GW : Wedges, Vokey 54.14, Vokey 58.12 : Putter - Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 or Ping Craz-E-R  : Ball - Bridgestone B330RX, Cart - Cliqgear 3.5

No.

Besides, before you get the soles slightly scratched, they will have already introduced another set (or 2) for $799.

Taylormade's marketing department is definitely earning their salaries!

I just left goldsmith from hitting the r11 irons, they are nice but I hit the tour preferred cavity back irons also and they feel nicer and there $100 cheaper. Try them out next time!

    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
