Very simply, that means you can adjust the face angle independently of the loft, and vice versa. Adjustable Sole Plate technology allows the decoupling of loft and face angle by using a sole plate to adjust face angle independent of loft sleeve setting.The head boasts a contemporary, slightly more triangular appearance than traditionally shaped drivers that provides higher MOI and a deeper, farther-forward CG position. The R11S driver’s modern-classical clubhead shape is intended to suit the eye of better players, while still providing ample forgiveness and confidence for average players.

TaylorMade testing indicates that the majority of golfers gain confidence at address from a head that appears large relative to the ball. Similar to the original R11, the new R11S features a flat-white crown color and black PVD face to improve alignment and accuracy off the tee. At 460cc, the R11S is at the USGA limit for size.And, with the proper fitting, we know golfers of all skill levels will be longer and straighter off the tee.” Instead, we’re delivering golfers yet another significant advancement in adjustability and performance. “It would have been easy for our product creation team to rest on the laurels of the original R11 driver, the most successful product we’ve ever created. “The R11S is a golfer’s dream come true it’s the realization of every ounce of innovation, adjustability, and performance we could package in a bigger, more aerodynamic, white clubhead,” said Sean Toulon, executive vice president. Raising eyebrows, TaylorMade launched an ad campaign that basically focused on its own product as the primary competition, touting the R11S as significantly longer than its predecessor, the original R11. The R11S is the follow up to the wildly successful R11. As much as I’d dismissed some of the success as a biproduct of marketing minds, rather than tech geeks. The company that scored major marketing and visibility points for its shift to white driver heads that are all the identifiable in the hands of the pros on TV, I entered the review skeptical. TaylorMade might not have invented the adjustable driver, but they’ve nearly perfected it.įor the past two months I have put a TaylorMade R11S TP driver through the paces, both at the range and through a dozen or so rounds on the course. There’s something to be said about the adjustibility and ease with which you can tune your driver these days.
