It s white! Actually the entire line of TaylorMade metal woods is white for 2011. The reason for the white head, according to TaylorMade, is that it makes the head look larger and more confidence inspiring. It also has a matte finish that is designed to eliminate glare from the crown, no matter what angle the sun is at. The face, as well as some of the sole, is black creating a heavy contrast with the white crown. TaylorMade reps say that the tour players really like the contrast of the white crown with the black face, and that it makes it easier to align the face with the target. The new look didn t take that much adjusting to.
The big news about the TaylorMade R11 driver is the amount of adjustability that is built into the club. The adjustable hosel is actually the same adjustable hosel as the R9 driver, however the labeling has changed. Instead of Left and Right on the hosel indicating a closed or open face, the hosel says Higher and Lower referring to the ball flight. For every degree the face is closed, it raises the effective loft of the driver, and conversely for opening the face. The R11 driver can be adjusted up to 1 full degree from its standard loft. The new ground breaking adjustment that is an industry first is the adjustable sole plate that actually changed how the driver sits on the ground at address. The sole can be adjusted to sit closed, open, or neutral depending on preference or desired shot shape. If you are a player who hovers the club above the ball then the sole plate will not have any effect on the shot.
Tech Specs
The TaylorMade R11 driver comes in two different configurations like all TaylorMade drivers, a standard version and a Tour Preferred (TP) model. There is no difference between the heads, however the TP driver has a premium shaft. The TP shaft list is extensive and offers all types of shafts with different weights, torques, flexes, and bend profiles, to custom fit all different types of golfers.
After the success of the r7 and R9 drivers, the release of TaylorMade’s third generation TaylorMade R11 driver adjustable driver was bound to cause a buzz in the equipment world.
But even before the pros at Kapalua start tinkering with TaylorMade’s newest model, they’ll notice the glaringly obvious thing that sets it apart it’s 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 adds that the white finish helps to reduce the hot spots and glare often created on glossy-topped drivers.
Rumors have been swirling over the past few months that TaylorMade was planning to release a white driver, but many those rumors failed to mention the TaylorMade R11 driver new level of customization. In previous models, TaylorMade’s torque wrench was used to adjust the face angle, which automatically changed the club’s loft as well. In the R11, loft and face angle are adjusted independently.
In the r7 and R9, an aluminum sleeve attached to the shaft, which screwed into the head in a variety of face angles. Not anymore. Now the R11’s sleeve has eight settings to increase or decrease the effective loft by as much as one degree.
Face angle is controlled by an adjustable aluminum sole plate. By moving the red triangular plate into the closed, neutral or open position, you can adjust the look at address. The face settings range from 4 degrees open to 4 degrees closed.
Like the r7 and R9 drivers, the TaylorMade R11 driver features weight ports one in the heel and one in the toe that allow for a draw or fade bias. The R11 comes with a10-gram screw and a 1-gram screw. Positioning the 10-gram weight in the heel promotes a draw, while putting it in the toe encourages a fade. According to TaylorMade, the movable weights provide up to 25 yards of right-and-left adjustability.
Because the club is so adjustable, the R11 driver will be available in only two lofts 9 and 10.5 . Olsavsky says that’s all the loft options that are required, even for Tour pros.
