R11 Driver Review

   The taylormade r11 driver is the latest and greatest from the makers of the No.1 driver in golf. It has new technology, like an adjustable sole that can adjust the face angle of the club, as well as the ability to adjust the launch angle, making the taylormade r11 driver a truly adjustable driver. This club promotes up to 100 yards of side-to-side trajectory change and 1,000 RPM backspin change, giving you consistent power and distance. The new aerodynamic shape of the taylormade r11 driver promotes faster club head speed for more distance, six yards longer than the TaylorMade R9 Supertri Driver. The white non-glare crown and black clubface (which provides easy alignment) of taylormade r11 driver will improve your game and that sleek white finish will make you the center of attention on the course and in the clubhouse.

"The satin white finish, along with the black face, creates the maximum contrast between face and crown to help you align the club more easily," says Tom Olsavsky, taylormade's director of product creation (metal woods). Olsavsky adds that the white finish helps to reduce the hot spots and glare often created on glossy-topped drivers.

In the r7 and r9, an aluminum sleeve attached to the shaft, which screwed into the head in a variety of face angles. Not anymore. Now the taylormade r11 driver's sleeve has eight settings to increase or decrease the effective loft by as much as one degree. Face angle is controlled by an adjustable aluminum sole plate. By moving the red triangular plate into the closed, neutral or open position, you can adjust the look at address. The face of the taylormade r11 driver settings range from 4 degrees open to 4 degrees closed.

Like the r7 and R9 drivers, the taylormade r11 driver features weight ports—one in the heel and one in the toe—that allow for a draw or fade bias. The taylormade r11 driver comes with a10-gram screw and a 1-gram screw. Positioning the 10-gram weight in the heel promotes a draw, while putting it in the toe encourages a fade. According to TaylorMade, the movable weights provide up to 25 yards of right-and-left adjustability.
