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?

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!

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
