TECH TALK The adjustable hosel allows users to change the lie and loft/face angle to eight settings. Golfers can also independently alter the club’s face angle through an adjustable soleplate. The crown is painted a matt white to reduce glare, to make the clubhead appear slightly larger than it really is, and to contrast with the black face for easy alignment.
PLAYER COMMENTS
L “They thought out of the box to come up with this. You can make an aggressive swing with it.”
M “The ball jumps off the face. And I was able to achieve a penetrating, repeatable ball flight that went long and straight.” … “The shape and design are clean, but the white colour is weird.” … “It has that great, hard-faced TaylorMade sound.”
HOT The R11 comes standard with the Fujikura Blur shaft, and the TP model features 20 shaft options.
NOT Does the low-handicap golfer really want his fairway wood to look slightly larger than it really is?
