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!

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
