Well I am new to these forums and I am needing advise.  My golf clubs got stolen from my house so I am now needing some new ones.  I have narrowed my choices to either the G20's or the new r11's.  I know way different clubs.  I have only hit the r11's in a simulator and they felt very good and I have never been a TM fan.  I have not hit the G20's but have hit the g15's at my club.  I am not wild about the size of the irons but I was hitting the 7 iron really frickin good.  They also had the burner 2.0 6 iron that I tried out and I liked it as well but I was hitting the ping 7 iron almost as far as the TM 6 iron.  I am going to the golf shop tonight to hit the r11's and g20's in the simulator but my brain is starting to get numb now.  Anybody tried these out?

well, after hitting both clubs in the simulator last night I have decided to go with the R11's.  Had to get them custom ordered so I can't wait.

Sorry about the old set being stolen.

I think you made a good choice going for TaylorMade, as they seem to be doing good business for the R-11 series, judging from white drivers and fairway woods that kept popping up at my home course in the last few weeks.  Haven't had a chance to hit one, though, I wouldn't go with the R-11 because of its color.

Hope you have fun with the new set and good luck.

Good marketing, IMO, and I fell into it as well.  There are other clubs that hit better than the R11 driver and fairway woods that also cost a lot less.

The R11 irons do look nice, haven't hit them yet but I can understand the initial appeal.  Great looking clubs, just hope their performance is at least equal to their looks.

Always changing:

 

Driver: Cobra S2/Nike VR Pro 10.5º

Irons: Callaway X-20 Tour 4-9i

Hybrid: Titleist 910H 19º & 21º

Wood: TaylorMade R11 3w

Putter: Odyssey White Hot

Wedges: Titleist Vokeys - 48º, 54º, 62º

 

First round: February 2011

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
