Dimension 1: Loft (FCT) – Increase or decrease launch angle
Dimension 2: Face Angle (ASP) – Select and open, closed or neutral address
Dimension 3: Flight Path (MWT) – Promote a fade with heavier weight in the toe, lighter weight in the heel. Promote a draw with lighter weight in toe, heavier weight in heel.
The TaylorMade R11 Fairway Wood is the latest and greatest from the makers of the No.1 drivers and woods in golf. It has new technology, like an adjustable sole that can adjust the face angle of the club, as well as the ability to adjust the launch angle, making it a truly adjustable fairway wood. This club promotes up to 60 yards of side-to-side trajectory change and 1,000 RPM backspin change, giving you consistent power and distance. It has a new deeper face and deeper center of gravity, which produces a more penetrating flight. The white non-glare crown and black clubface (which provides easy alignment) will improve your game and that sleek white finish will make you the center of attention on the course and in the clubhouse.
Additional Features:
Shaft: Fujikura Blur 70
Adjust the loft with Flight Control Technology (FCT)
Adjust the face angle with the new Adjustable Sole Plate (ASP)
So basically, what are we looking at here for players in 2011? For all the amateurs, don't forget that no club can solve all your problems and no equipment to date will cure bad technique. However, what TaylorMade seems to have done once again is introduce even more adjustability and versatility into their product, meaning more options for you to fit your club to your game and to continue making adjustments as you improve and as you inevitably go through the ebbs and flows of the season. And while we can obviously also expect minimal to moderate positive changes in distance and control; versatility, adjustability and style are really what make R11 stand out.
As far as the pros go, initial feedback from performance testing has been overwhelmingly positive and it will certainly be interesting to see how the R11 performs on tour, not to mention the fun of seeing around forty of them rocking these white-headed drivers at the 2011 Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego. And I'm sure we can all anticipate an off-the-wall albino driver comment from Feherty.
