TaylorMade R11 TP
TaylorMade's 3rd generation R11 TP variable driver seemed to be certain to spark a hype within the golf products universe. Yet even before the professionals began trying out TaylorMade's latest design, they discovered the glaringly evident factor which sets it apart - it is white.
"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 includes the white finish minimizes the hot spots as well as glare frequently generated on glossy-topped drivers.
With the r7 and R9, an aluminum sleeve linked to the shaft, that attached to the clubhead in numerous face angles. Not any longer. Currently the R11's sleeve offers eight configurations to raise or reduce the beneficial loft up to 1 degree.
The adjustable soleplate may be turned into one of three positions to establish face angle during address (2° open, 2° closed or neutral). This includes "movable weight" engineering and "flight control" technologies to generate the company's most variable driver up to now. Anyone can alter face angle and loft independent of each other.
Basically similar to the r7 and R9 drivers, the R11 TP includes weight ports-one within the heel and one inside the toe which allows for draw or fade bias. R11 TP comes with a10-gram screw and a 1-gram screw. Placing the 10-gram weight inside the heel encourages a draw, though placing it inside the toe promotes a fade. According to TaylorMade, the removable weights deliver upwards to 25 yards of right-and-left flexibility.

In addition to all this flexibility, Olsavsky claims the R11's clubhead design is actually far more aerodynamic, making it at minimum 6 yards longer compared to 2010's R9 SuperTri.
Golf shots range from "above average" to "bombed it, one of the longest tested" for the bulk of players. Really steady outcomes, it is both very forgiving as well as precise; R11 TP is a straight shooter. Dampened, quiet, softer feel having some spring within the clubface; a well-balanced golf club that's effortless to swing.
A number of quicker swingers generate aggressive golf swings devoid of concern of a hook because of face adjustability; numerous golfers strike the ball higher than usual. White clubhead may appear unusual at first, yet a vast majority of players discover that the diversion rapidly turns into a non-issue; white tends to make the head seem bigger.
