A couple of days ago, TaylorMade Golf introduced the next generation of adjustable face drivers with the R11 and R11 TP. One of the big differences in the R11 from the R9 is the Adjustable Sole Plate Technology (ASP) - that allows you to adjust the face angle independent of loft.
Around the web people are chiming in with positive & negative opinions on the fact that Taylormades future flagship model may come standard in white. 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. Still no word on if Taylormade will label the new R11 "ghost", my guess is not.
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.
"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.
The movable weights of the trailblazer R7 coupled with the adjustable hosel from the R9, has been joined... TM raised it one. The rotating sole plate is what separates the men from the boys. The role of the sole plate is to independently change the driver face angle by as much as 48 settings! The end result? The adjustments in the loft and lie from the hosel do not affect the appearance at address.
This driver is designed with a new, modern-classical club head shape intended to suit the eye of better players, while still providing forgiveness and confidence for average players.
Those that are single digit handicap golfers or are close to this level are going to love this driver. The TaylorMade R11 Driver is made for those that need to be able to adjust the club as they improve or as they are going from one tournament to another. One week you might need more of a fade than a draw and it could be different the next week. This club allows you to make that adjustment so that you can play the best golf on any course you want from the tee box.
