Today I will talk about a new Taylormade golf clubs. The New TaylorMade R11 driver will be showcased at the 2011 Tokyo Golf Show and as usual you can expect TourSpecGolf to have plenty of HD Video and High Resolution Images as well as a Taylormade R11 Driver Review.
The new acronym on the sole of the club is (AST) and it stands for Adjustable Sole Technology. Combine that with FCT and MWT and you got a lot of adjustments your able to make. It's pretty amazing stuff if you ask me. This seems to be the flavor of the month or month(s) with Taylormade's Ghost putter series and recently Cobra's limited edition white driver.
One issue with FCT is that changing the loft automatically changes face angle (higher loft closes the face angle; lower loft opens the face angle). But what if you want to change the loft without affecting the face angle? Or change the face angle without affecting loft? That's what the new Adjustable Sole Plate is there for.
The advance buzz about the TaylorMade R11 focused mostly on the white crown and black clubface. It's a look that will provide a "wow" factor for some golfers, but one that, according to the company, also serves a purpose.
The white color makes the 440cc clubhead appear slightly larger, TaylorMade says, and provides a greater contrast to the turf to make aiming easier - an advantage more pronounced in lower light conditions, according to the company.
The R11 driver incorporates TaylorMade's Movable Weight Technology (to promote a desired bias or trajectory changes), plus its Flight Control Technology (to change loft and face angle). The R11 driver adds another tech, what TaylorMade calls its Adjustable Sole Plate.
The combination of the three adjustability technologies gives the R11 driver owner up to 48 combinations of loft, face angle and draw/fade bias to play with. And, according to the company, those options can produce up to 100 yards difference in side-to-side trajectory depending on the golfer's chosen settings.
In a word, this club is so excellent that so many golfer prefer to choose it.

What about the new TaylorMade R11 Driver
When it comes to golf, there’s no rest for the weary engineers. The latest volley into the epic battle for longest, baddest driver continues with the upcoming TaylorMade R11. Using a small wrench (included), the driver allows for not one, not two, but three axes of adjustability and customization, which can affect up-to 100 yards of side-to-side trajectory and 1,000 RPM in backspin. A new aerodynamic shape also results in faster clubhead speed yielding drives up to 6 yards longer than the R9 SuperTri. No small feat. Modifications are made through an (A) Adjustable Sole Plate which allows for face angle adjustment, (B) Movable Weight Technology to adjust ball trajectory left to right, and (C) Flight Control Technology, which allows golfers to adjust loft. Essentially, the R11 is a real-life crib sheet for your lackluster driver.
After the success of the r7 and R9 drivers, the release of TaylorMade's third generation R11 adjustable driver was bound to cause a buzz in the equipment world.

Main Features: TaylorMade Flight Control Technology (FCT) lets you change the face angle, loft and lie. (callaway diablo edge irons) Movable Weight Technology (MWT) lets you change the clubhead's center of gravity. FCT and MWT together offer total adjustability to promote up to 75 yards of side-to-side trajectory change. New classic clubhead shape combines super-high MOI and easy-launching CG position. Fujikura Motore 65-gram shaft with High Inertia Tip (H.I.T.) technology promotes faster ball speed. Shaft: Fujikura Motore 65.
The shape of the driver of address is very pleasing to the eye, and looks more like a 460cc head, (TaylorMade Burner 2.0 Iron Set) but is only 440cc clubhead. The white color crown tricks your eyes into thinking it is larger. Adjusting the sole plate or ASP is really simple with the torque wrench, which can also be used to adjust the moveable weights and Flight Control Technology. The Fujikura Blur shaft is truly a work of art with its contrasting matte black triangle pattern and provides just the right amount of flex and feel.
I can’t speak to performance aspects of the R11 driver, because I was only able to hit it indoors at the TaylorMade Performance Lab. What I can tell you, (Ping G15 Fairway Wood) is it produces a great sound at impact and feels great. I’ll have an in-depth review of the R11 driver at a later date, when I can play it in real world playing conditions. So check back soon!
