Who owns a Taylormade R11 Driver?

I'm thinking of plopping down the cash for this driver(Merry Christmas to me). Trying to get an idea of which one to buy.

Are you happy with the club?

9 degree or 10.5 degree?

Which flex?



Thanks for any help!

Picked this up @ Golfsmith for $249 Brand new. On sale lately for $299 everywhere.



Had an email deal this morning for $50 off of $250 or more @ Golfsmith. I printed the deal & took it to Golfsmith & they honored it.

 

I bought the 10.5 with stiff flex. My swing typically is a low shot with other drivers I have tried. Was hitting a buddies 9.5 & was only getting 20' off the ground. I get to try it out in the morning, playing 18.

I can't wait!

 

Thanks. Where did you get that putter? My 14yr old Son needs a better putter.

 

Thanks

 

Took a lesson Friday to learn to hit the driver again. Loving this R11, very forgiving if you hit off center shots. Used it Saturday @ Innsbruck in Helen. Did well on the front nine with it. Struggled on the back, trying to find my new swing. Didn't get the distance I was getting, but still very playable lies.

 

how was it when you did get the sweet spot? did you feel like it added 10-20yds?

 

Crushed it with little effort. I was averaging 250+ on the front 9. Then my swing changed (just learned a new swing the day before, don't have the muscle memory yet) & was slicing slightly on the back 9 & was getting 210-240yds. Which is way better distance than the Cleveland Hibore XL my brother gave me, prior to buying the R11.



I'm still tweeking the club. currently I have the heavy weight (10g) on the toe & the 1g weight on the heel. I do like how you can adjust this club in different combinations.

Before I was able to hit a driver. I was depending on my Ping 2 iron. Some days I could hit it 200-250yds.
