R11 vs R11s

[Tiger90]

Hey guys, I got the R11 in october and have been hitting it amazing...but i snapped the shaft today.  I went into golftown, they are going to send it back to taylormade. However, they said Taylormade has just been sending R11s' to replace them.

At first i thought that was great, but now im thinking about it, and i dont know if i want the R11s, because i have been hitting the R11 so well. I know it is a 460cc instead of the R11 which is 440cc, and it has more adjustability.  All i want to know is if anybody has hit both of them and if the R11s is easier or harder to control or basically the same.

I can bet the R11s will be even better, but i just want to make sure before they send it to me and i get a driver that i dont hit as well.

Thanks a lot guys!

If you are indeed a 0.7 handicap.  You'll hit the R11s with no problem.  I say this as your swing should be on plane and consistent.  So such a subtle changes (going from the R11 to the R11s head) should not have ill effects on your golf game.

Also, are you getting the same shaft in the replacement driver?  I ask as this would be the major difference between clubs.  Also, I'd make sure you get it fit so that you optimize your spin numbers accordingly.

What I would like to know is why they are replacing the entire club, when it's just the "removable" shaft that is the issue?

For my money the R11 had a much better feel than the S. i hit one for about 45 minutes and could not take it back fast enough. just had a terrible feel to me.

Beats me...i would take a new shaft, but if they want to send me the 's' i guess im game

Alright yeah i figured i would be able to hit it, it just wanted to know if there was a big difference and if i should make sure i get the R11 back...but thanks for your reply!
