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!

    • We had a member of our senior club who developed a mental block on pulling the trigger. I played with him to see what the membership was talking about. I timed him a few times when he would get over the ball. 45 seconds. He knew he had a mental block and would chide himself, “Just hit it!” Once on the green he was okay and chipping was a bit better. It was painful to watch him struggle. Our “bandaid” was to put him in the last tournament  tee time with two understanding players. We should have suggested to him to take a break from our tournaments. I agree with the idea that when a player realizes they have a problem, the answer is to go fix it and not return until they are able to play at an acceptable pace.
