Taylor Made R11, are they worth the money??

bluebottle102

im just looking into buying a new set of woods (Driver, 3&5 wood) and I'm quite interested in the Taylor Made R11's....

Just wondering have you guys got any experiences with them??

i know they are expensive (been quoted €850 for all three) but im an 18 Handicapper with potential and would intend on getting alot of use out of them.

cheers guys!!

What about going to get fitted first? It's alot of money to shell out first of all.I got fitted recently for a new driver and i can see the results already. Its my new favourite club in the bag.

Just a suggestion before you go spending all that money.

Haven't used them so can't say either way but if you're contemplating spending that much get properly custom fitted so you get value for what you spend.

Seems like allot of money to spend without getting custom fit... Go to someone like Foregolf in Naas who will tell you exactly what clubhead/shaft combination is right for you...

OP I had an R9 Supertri 9.5' driver and won an R11 in a comp in February. The white head is nice at address and a novelty at first but I cannot honestly say it is any better than my R9. If you are a low handicap golfer and buying a club specifically to change the weight/loft/orientation settings to suit your game then it is brilliant but after tinkering around with them for 2 months mine are back to the factory settings. Put simply I am glad I did not pay the €400 they were at the time.

On a whim in May I bought the R11 3 wood and rescue club, I like the rescue but have put my old R5 3wood back in my bag. If you are buying them because you want white head clubs or want to be seen with the latest kit then happy hitting but if I had my time again I would but the R9 3 wood and rescue for about a third of the price.

How long have you been playing golf, did you start on 18 or come down from a higher figure?
Given the money at stake my advice would be to pick up a set of R7 second hand and work on the handicap and ball striking. Once you're approaching single figures then go get fitted and fork out for the R11 set.
I've an R7 superquad TP driver which I picked up over a year ago second hand and think it's a fantastic club. I've an oldish set of irons which I plan on upgrading as an incentive when I get to single figures and have a consistent swing.
For an average golfer I think state of the art equipment and custom fitting are a bit of a waste unless you've a very consistent swing which you're unlikely to change. If you're going to spend that sort of money though definitely get fitted for the correct shaft flex which has as much bearing on the shot as the club itself.

When I see guys with a full bag of R11s I expect to see something special. You'll be there with your €1000 worth of woods and you probably won't be happy when some young lad with a €50 smashed up old Ping gives you a lesson.

When you hit 9 handicap go ahead and reward yourself.

Russman

+1 on the custom fitting

Op, if you want to drop that much cash on clubs feel free, but definitely you should get fitted.
For what its worth, I was at a Taylor Made fitting recently and couldn't get the R11 driver to work for me, without stepping up into the realm of seriously expensive shafts. I have a decent swing speed and play off single figures yet for some reason the Superfast worked better on the launch monitor. Thats not to say the R11 isn't a good driver, it is, and it looks great at address, but for me I was 18-20 yds longer with the Superfast (and it was still only more or less the same as my 2009 Titleist).

The key is to get the club that works best for you, this may or may not be the newest shiniest offering on the market.

Just my tuppence worth

Ive over 1k worth of taylormade gear and i couldnt care less if a 14 yr old with a set of bangers shoots better than me, im out there for me, not for anyone else. If the OP wants to get an r11 then so be it, id be thinkin the very same as him to be honest, but i probably would go get fit for it. Ive the new burner superfast 2.0 and would like a slap out of an r11 also

bluebottle102

Thanks for d messages guys!!
I'm 26 n have been playing casually since I was 18 (played my first comp 2 weeks ago n hit 35 points)

I have a Nike sq driver n I just can't seem to manage it at all (ended up leaving it in d bag for last 10 holes of d comp)

I actually did try out d R11 driver during d week n it was awesome, I hit d ball d straightest n furthest I have in a long time!!

where do u guys think getting a custom fitting would be best and is it expensive??

foregolf in Naas - http://www.foregolf.ie/
lots of guys head up there and find them good...I'm all for waiting til I get down to single figures to upgrade anyway.... btw I haven't carried a wood in my bag for the last year and hasn't effected me .. I've 2 hybrids 18 & 20.5 degree and a driver and can hit them as long as my 5 wood... probably need a 3 wood tho for some shots off the tee.

cheers

Defintely worth getting custom fit.

Keep in mind that most of the changes between year to year models are cosmetic, with a whole load of marketing thrown in. The latest driver is not necessarily the best.

I went back to a Titliest 905R (the model is about 4 years older than my other driver) that I picked up in a pro shop for €50 a few months ago and I've never driven the ball better. The shaft was what made the difference.

The three things that matter in a driver are the loft, the shaft and the grip size. You will get pretty much the same performance from an R7, R9 or R11 once these three factors are the same. Lots of people will admire your R11 though.

Get custom fit and go with the most flexible shaft that you can keep under control, you will hit that the furthest.

A driver, like any club, is only as good as the guy who's hitting it - full stop!

I'm an 18 handicapper myself and, although I'm hitting my drives really well (for me) at the moment, there's no way on earth I'd be able to justify spending that sort of money on three clubs. I agree with one of the above comments which said that you'd want to be a pretty good player to step up on the 1st tee on a Sunday morning with an R11. There's an expectation that you're going to be devouring the course with them, and unreasonable as that may seem to some, I do think its true.

That's just me, but if you really want them then at the very least go and see someone who can fit you properly and let you try them out before you spend the money. Only then can you decide whether they suit you or not...

...they do look class though...!;)

Still using my 6 year old King Cobra 440sz and still hitting it straighter and further than 90% of the people I play golf with week in week out.


Spend the money on lessons if you want to get better, spend it on clubs if you want to have new clubs.

Its the Monkey, not the wrench.

At 18, clubs are not the solution , spend that money on lessons or rounds of golf.

Anyway it is a free world, people like shiny things , me too.

300 euro driver , load of bull.

I would consider changing a driver if my existing one was holding me back from dropping handicap whether that be from 20 to 16 or 8 to 6 it doesnt matter.
If I felt I was striking the ball well and yet was losing a lot of distance to comparable golfers then yep go get fitted for a new driver (or maybe just a new shaft is all thats needed).
Have seen golfers who change their driver as often as their underwear and makes little to no difference for the majority of them what they hit.

Though I would admit the white head driver looks great I would be expecting a good golfer at the other end of it because of its price and it does scream look at me!

IMO to carry off a white driver you need to be able to hit golf shots.

Played with the pro I took lessons with when I started a few years ago and his words when it come to Taylormade white clubs - "With all respect, you don't play good enough golf to carry it off, fcuk it I don't play good enough golf".

I've nothing against people spending the money, as I've already pointed out on the Pro V thread, golf is full of fools easily parted with money, looking for the next best thing to help their game and so be it. An R11 won't suddenly make you a better player or hit the ball better over a R7 or any other driver, if your technique is poor; it will certainly draw attention to yourself. I for one would rather play sh1tty or average golf without looking like a tw@t

2 friends of mine have the r11 , I've hit it on a couple of occasions after splitting the fairway with my own drive , every time I've hit it ,the ball is 20 to 30 yards longer than my own . The ball just seems to spring off the club face ! If you want it get it , it's your money screw what people think .

couldnt agree more, i bought the TM Burner Superfast 2.0 at start of year because it was cheaper than R11 even though i wanted R11, traded my superfast after a month and buoght an R11 ended up paying in total €470 for it (factor in cost of burner then traded against r11) best thing ive ever done i love my r11 driver and distance and accuracy has improved 10 fold.

if you wanna buy the r11 range then do its you that will be using them, ive since bought the rescue 11 and plan on getting r11 3 wood aswell.

thats my 2 cents worth:)

Wudnt mind a swing of an R11 myself, ive got the Superfast 2.0 with Aldila NV 75 X shaft, going pretty well but always wanna try one out

Interesting question. If you are a low single digit golfer, are taking lessons on your golf swing and own a driver from 2009/10, is the R11 worth it? (For this argument, assume money is not a factor).

My gut is that it won't have that much of a difference.

Depends on whether the driver from 09/10 was properly fitted and suits you or works for you. If it does work, then no, the R11 probably/possibly won't make a huge difference.

Static M.e.

@OP

Why not find someone with the R11's and borrow them for 18 holes to see if you like them. Then go for a Custom fit.

For that kind of money you should test drive them in case they don't suit you for whatever reason.

sector

not to confuse the op now as some good advice with go off & hit one (although unsure if it'd let mine out of my hands for 18 holes, shudder the thought!) but I was fitted for a r9 supertri for accuracy and that worked fine, then i got the r11, man the difference, lower but further, i love it anyway. same shaft btw.

my advice get one!

True story.

I was going for a few holes yesterday evening when I saw two yanks teeing it up off the blues(pros) on the first. One of them pulled out a white R11 so I said I'd hang on and have a look to see where he bombed it to because he looked the sh1t with his sparkly new white driver. The guy takes his practice swing. Then approaches the ball and tops it off the tee about 20 yards ahead of himself and he quickly turns around and makes a big scene shouting "that's not how you play a golf shot".

So three points to take from this:

1) R11's won't make you a better golfer.

2) Don't play off the pro tees if your not good enough to do so. Unless your playing in a medal or similar sort of competition.

3) If you top the ball don't make a big scene out of embarrassment. Move on and make sure you get a good contact with your next shot.

He could be a very good golfer for all you know, and maybe he likes the driver the same way you like yours? Just because he topped it so what? Havent you? Tell ya one thing, ive said it once il say it again, any time someone comes on here askin opinions on something like a new set of irons or a new driver they get told the same thing. You'd know it was an Irish forum, typical irish attitude. Besters, bet you were delighted to see him top the shot too, sad.

To the OP, theyre obviously a very good driver from all the reviews ive heard, a lot of settings too for adjusting loft and face angle etc etc which can only be a good thing, this guy does great reviews of all drivers and irons and heres a video ya might wanna watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etAIBg3Kajk

EDIT: And pro tees? Championship tees for some competitions, most places have them, you dont have to be a pro to tee off from them!

Tones Man - you really need to take a chill pill...That keyboard aggression may be better put to use regularly cleaning all of your Taylormade gear..I hear you've got "over 1K" of it!:)

OP asked if the R11 was worth the money. Worth the money from a performance standpoint I'm guessing?Sounds to me like it just might be given some of the quotes on here from guys who have experience in using/changing to the R11.

On top of that its obviously the most fashionable club on the market at the moment so will look great in the bag and away from the performance element it also makes a social statement....may be your thing, may not

As before, go get fitted and try out a number of clubs before buying though.

best of luck with it

I got to hit a dozen or so shots with one at a demo night. The shaft made all the difference for me; the standard shaft or the stiff option didn't agree with me at all but with the ka'li shaft it was tweaked to hit some decent drives. Of course he mentioned the magic word 'expensive' in relation to the shaft and I haven't bothered to enquire as to how much (still using my R7).
Moral of the story for me:
Get yourself to ForeGolf and get fitted for a decent shaft-head combination. I wouldn't dream of spending 300+ without having hit a bunch of options and settled on the optimum one.

Extra 109 euro if gettnig it custom fit with a place like golfstoreeurope, but id say to buy the shaft on its own from a supplier would cost upwards of 200

IMO The R11 is one of the best drivers ever made so definitely worth a look who ever you are no matter what handicap. The white driver is so common now you won't look like a prat pulling one out as a good percentage of people now play one.

The conflicting argument which was always inevitable, if your poor with one club/ball you will be poor with the next will always apply when it comes to talking about equipment.

Is it worth the money (in a way yes) ..? I think the thing most people would unanimously agree on is the right driver (not just the R11) is worth the money. So rather than pin your hopes on one driver might be worth having a look around and get custom fit.

Just like to add that I personally don't think their has been any major improvement on driver distance (bar a couple of yards that are hardly worth mentioning) since 07 or 08. That makes most drivers technically pretty equal. The adjustment and alignment(white head) aids are great but they hardly make that much difference when you are out on the course. The thing that you need is the right head/shaft combination to suit you, that is what is worth the money.

PS
Take a look in some of the pro's bags. Their will be some historical clubs knocking around. The right setup and familiarity is far more valuable than a few yards to them. Lee W stills plays a G10 and Rapture woods.

You need to chill man. I just thought it was funny. You see it all the time with Americans. They come over with these handicaps that are totally ridiculous and they expect to rip the courses up. They rarely do.


And yes we call the far back tees the pro tees and yes I know that you don't need to be a pro to play off them.

Blues = The pro's

White = Regular Joes like myself

Green = The hackers

Reds = The ladies


It's just the way it is. No need to be so defensive because you have spent so much on nice clubs.

The adjustment and alignment(white head) aids are great but they hardly make that much difference when you are out on the course. Contradiction - surely alignment is key out on the course?

The thing that you need is the right head/shaft combination to suit you, that is what is worth the money..Good Advice

That makes no sense whatsoever, it doesnt bother me at all what ive spent on my clubs and it shouldnt bother you either, if you look back at any of thse threads started, peolpe like u always come on and say things like "oh i laughed at this new guy with his expensive clubs and he couldnt hit them, dont buy new gear just go get a lesson", which is practically what u were saying about the yank, i think its wrong and a typical irish attitude, so no i wont chill

Ive never heard anybody call them the pro tees, but ok

I couldn't give a crap what you spent on your clubs. I was initially replying to the OP who asked should he go spend €400 on a brand new R11. I didn't think it would be worth it to him as it won't make that much difference to an 18 handicapper. I'm only off 16 so I'm not looking down on him in case you think I am. I'm going by my past experience. I paid €250 about two years ago for a G10. I'm still using it but if I had the chance again I wouldn't have paid that much for a club. I suggested he get something a little let pricey and see how that goes.

Anyway it's just opinion and your getting a bit repetitive with your "typical irish attitude thing". Give it a break lad. Don't take things to heart so easily. It's not good for you.

For what it's worth - which is not much - I think the R580 looks better than the R11

I must be getting old, but white club-heads do not do it for me. I guess once you go black, you'll.............:D

I got fitted for a new driver in Birr recently (they have the tracman which is great). Had a few goes off the R11 and didn't like it at all. Felt flimsy to me and the results were the same as what I already had (TM Burner) .

I couldn't give a crap what you spent on your clubs. I was initially replying to the OP who asked should he go spend €400 on a brand new R11. I didn't think it would be worth it to him as it won't make that much difference to an 18 handicapper. I'm only off 16 so I'm not looking down on him in case you think I am. I'm going by my past experience. I paid €250 about two years ago for a G10. I'm still using it but if I had the chance again I wouldn't have paid that much for a club. I suggested he get something a little let pricey and see how that goes.

Anyway it's just opinion and your getting a bit repetitive with your "typical irish attitude thing". Give it a break lad. Don't take things to heart so easily. It's not good for you.

If you dont care what clubs i have then why would ya get a smart comment in about how much i paid? And i dont care how repetitive it is, im dead right in what im saying, everyone knows the irish are the biggest bunch of negative f*cks to ever grace the earth, anyway, moving swiftly on. Great driver for obvious reason, get fit for it and let us know how you get on, thats the only advice anyone can really give who doesnt know you personally

Why did you feel the need to tell everyone on the board how much you paid?

I don't see any smart comment. I merely alluded to the fact that you are blinkered by the money you paid for the R11 and now you can't understand why someone like myself would suggest to the OP that I don't think it's worth him spending the money on. Anyway you're the one who keeps bringing it back up. Let it go for everyones sake.

Huh? I havent even got an R11!!! When did i say i had one and when did i mention how much i paid for my clubs? In my last damn post i said moving swiftly along, this aint too swift is it

Ok Calm down.

were totally going off topic here,

Lets get back to the topic!!!
cause its an interesting one.

From watching that youtube video.
The r11 looks like a nice club but so does the burner,(even though the doesnt like the grip).

So from wat ive gathered from the thread is---that if you have the money and want to buy the clubs,,,then Why the F*ck not!!!!!
