    I'm using the R11 &I love it. Got it back in December. Longest drive so far 290. Which I haven't hit that far in 20 years. Even when I hit a bad shot, like teed to high, it goes a ton. I love how it is adjustable . The R11 s wasn't out when I bought mine. If you want to save money on the club. Sign up for Golfsmith email newsletters. When they send the save $50 coupon code on $299 or more purchases. Then buy it with the code. I was able to get the local Golfsmith store to honor the $50 off
    .
    I recently won a RBZ 5 iron from Tayl
    or made. Waiting for it to arrive this month.

    Yup! I got fitted at golf galaxy for a driver and picked up the RBZ Tour TP.

    Do you have a faster swing and get kind of aggressive with your driver sometimes?


    BTW, golfsmith.com if you go to the RBZ Tour and choose 10.5*, it says it comes with the HD06 shaft which is the TP shaft. So basically your getting the TP Tour driver for $100 off. Their mess up, Your score!

    I am still using a R7 w/ Reg flex shaft and i need a stiff. So for the price of a new shaft i am better off getting a new driver. I never use the adjustments on my R7 or my R11 3wood. So thats why i am leaning towards the RBZ TP.

    honestly, if you have a place that you can get fitted for a driver... DO IT! Thats a big part of the game and spending an extra $30 or so to get fitted makes a big difference. I have ran through alot of newer drivers in the past 5 years and none of them would be like my Orlimar that I have had forever. That one still went the farthest and most consistant. I've been saving up for a couple years to finally get fitted and get a new driver and Im glad I did. I played yesterday for the first time with my new driver and am very happy with the results the RBZ Tour TP gave me.

    Well played a couple times this week. Was able to break into the 80 which I was happy with. Also got the RBZ Tour. Love it! But it's the loudest driver I have ever heard.

    Not sure how I've missed this thread before... I golfed 6 times in March, got into the low 90's which is pretty damn good for me... weather has been shitty since, getting really fuckin anxious to get back out.

    I'm a high 80s, low 90s golfer. But man, do I love the game. I try to play a couple times a week, but it doesn't always work out.

    My favorite club in my bag right now is my Burner Superfast 2.0 3 hybrid rescue. Man that thing is awesome! I can fly it about 240...its made my 3 and 5 wood pretty much obsolete in my bag.

    I love taylormade drivers/hybrids, I picked up a used rescue for a couple bucks a few weeks ago, that club is a beast in the rough and crappy lies. What do you hit for a driver? I'm still in love with my R9

    I shoot mid 80's to low 90's right now. Shot an 85 last week and hope to get down to the low 80's by the end of the summer. I'm going driver shopping this weekend though!

    Yeah, TaylorMade is pretty much it for me when it comes to drivers, woods, and hybrids as well. For some reason though, I hit their irons like poop. My irons are Callaway Big Bertha Fusions, which took me a bit to get used to. Their honestly probably a little too nice for me...not the most forgiving irons out there. Other clubs in my bag are a Nike 60 degree wedge and a Ping putter.

    I hit an R7 Limited, and have no plans to change anytime soon. I like it because it has the adjustable weights, which actually help me. I looked into the R11 and might grab one if I see a used one or clearance, but let's just say it's not the club that's holding back my game.

    I've hit an R11, while they are super nice, they aren't worth 500 bucks to me... I hit ping G2 irons, I would really like to get a nice set of forged irons.... My Cleveland 60* is the best club I own though, the best part was that I got it for 10 bucks from Play it Again Sports!

    I play with a set of cleveland CG red irons, vokey wedges, and Callaway drivers/woods. I shoot high 70s to mid 80s. There arent many difficult tracks around here, but I like the challenge! (or lack of)

Pioneer Double Din with BT, iPod, etc. Boston Acoustic components in all 4 doors with a Sony amp, powered 8" sub. Ultra gauge, Tom Tom...
    I built courses for 6 years for Moore Golf Inc. out of Culpepper Va. I never golfed back then because I have an explosive temperment and I vent when necessary.

    15 years later a friend got me into it. Now I golf and I suck. It is the only thing in this world that can get me to the total loss of self-control in seconds.

    For instance. Yesterday with my boss. Hole 1, triple bogie par 3. Hole 2 eagled a par 4. Then 3 triple bogies and a quad. Ended up with something like a 55 on a par 36 front 9.

    Back 9, par, +3, +3, birdie,...WTF!!!!!

    Anyhow, Cleveland Launcher 10.5, Odessy 2-ball, King Cobra irons, (from my old partner, I had to replace the broken irons from my last time out last year!) yup, all of them.:eek: I walked off the course after the 11th hole.

    SO, WHY THE FUCK AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF AGAIN THIS YEAR.

    I QUIT COKE 20 YEARS AGO, CIGARETTES 15, BOOZE 6, WHY CAN'T I QUIT FUCKING GOLF!???

    FUCKING ADDICTIONS. FUCK ME!!!:frusty::frusty::frusty:
