R11S Driver – Performance

The TaylorMade R11S Driver flat out performs. With up to 80 different combinations available through the different adjustable fitting systems, this driver can be tailored to maximize performance for a wide range of golfers. I had a difficult time hitting the R11 driver consistently, but after tuning this driver, on-course and simulator testing shows that the R11S driver produces more ball speed, is more forgiving and generates more distance than the R11 Driver. The R11S launches lower than the R11 and produces slightly more spin.

The Aldila RIP Phenom shaft is an improvement over last year’s Fujikura Blur, but the results are truly outstanding when the R11S head is paired with aftermarket or TP shaft offerings (i.e. Fubuki Alpha, Rifle Project X Graphite, Matrix RUL). TaylorMade has not put their traditional paint scheme over their premium shaft selections this year and it comes across as a nice change.  I paired the R11S head together with a Project X 7C3 shaft and I have never felt more confident with a driver in my hands.
