TaylorMade R11 driver is a truly adjustable driver. You can adjust the loft base with Flight Control Technology (FCT), face angle base on new Adjustable Sole Plate (ASP) and CG location base on Movable Weight Technology (MWT). Unfortunately most of the golfers do not know how to do it properly. There are three easy steps to adjust TaylorMade r11 driver which are given below.

1. Select desired loft by setting the FCT, choosing either Neutral, or 1.5 higher loft, or 1.5 lower loft (or one of the intermediate positions +/- .5). When you change the loft, the face angle will be modified. A higher loft creates a closed face angle, while a lower loft creates an open face angle.

2. Rest the club in the address position and decide if you want to change the face angle. If the club looks too closed, adjust the ASP to square or open the face. If the club looks too open, adjust the ASP square or close the face. If the face angle look just right, no need to adjust the ASP.

3. Adjust the weights as necessary to achieve the desired trajectory bias. The ball directional tendency goes towards the side that the heavy weight is placed. For example, move the 10-gram to the heel side to create more draw bias.

This is how you adjust your TaylorMade R11 driver. Read the opinion of Dustin Johnson, one of the professional golfers, on this state-of-art golf driver. He says,
“I’ve never been so dialed in on the tee box. The fitting was quick and simple: three steps and the TaylorMade R11 driver was totally customized to my swing. I can’t wait to bring this driver out on tour.”

On February 4, 2011, TaylorMade will introduce it’s another genuine golf driver product TaylorMade R11 Driver. Golfers are already waiting eagerly to play few strokes with this much-anticipated driver. Though TaylorMade Company has not released much detail about this product, its known that the TaylorMade R11 driver is equipped with a new technology called ‘Adjustable Sole Plate Technology (ASP)’.

TaylorMade R11 driver has white colored crown and black colored clubface. The reason behind this color combination is to provide the advantage to the golfers playing under lower light conditions. Hence, the golfer will be able to aim the ball easily since the color combination creates a huge contrast to the turf.

Like the other advanced TaylorMade golf drivers, TaylorMade R11 driver also has Flight Control Technology (FCT) and Movable Weight Technology (MWT) in it. With the help of these technologies, you can adjust the loft and CG location.

A golfer always faced a problem while adjusting the loft using FCT, the face angle automatically gets to change when the loft is changed. That is why ‘Adjustable Sole Plate Technology (ASP)’ has been introduced to counter this problem. Now, a golfer can easily changes the loft without affecting the face angle or vice versa.

Those above mentioned three technologies together offer 48 combinations of loft, face angle and draw/fade bias to the golfer. As a result, the side-to-side trajectory change reaches up to 100 yards and backspin change up to 1000 RPM. In addition, the new aerodynamic shape generates more speed from the clubhead so the ball can cover more distance. When compared to R9 Supertri, the R11 helps to cover 6 yards more than the former one.

TaylorMade R11 measures 45.75” and comes with a Fujikura Blur 60-gram shaft. This shaft has a large weave material which gives more stability at impact. Along with TaylorMade R11 driver, the R11 TP driver will also be available for the golfers soon.

Taylormade drivers come with many innovative features. Movable Weight Technology is one of them. This technology allows a golfer to quickly adjust the weight placement as per the requirements. This taylormade driver has 3 sets of weights; 1 gram, 1 gram and 16 grams. Unfortunately, many golfers do not know how to set the weights for a Taylormade R7 460 Driver in different situations. Hence, I have provided the information below.

To correct a hook in the trajectory of your drive:
First, put the 16 gram weight in the toe weight hole using the Taylormade Torx wrench. Then put the two 1 gram weights in the center and heel weight holes. With this adjustment, you will be able to correct a hook in the trajectory of your drive.

To correct a slice in the trajectory of your drive:
Here, put the 16 gram weight in the heel weight hole using Taylormade Torx wrench. Now, put the two 1 gram weights in the center and toe weight holes. This adjustment will allow you to correct a slice in the trajectory of your drive.

To adjust the weight placement on the driver:
Put the 16 gram weight in the center weight hole using Taylormade Torx wrench. After that, put the two 1 gram weights in the toe and heel weight holes. This weight adjustment is useful when you do not have a slice or a hook in the trajectory of your drive.

This driver is very much recommended to a golfer who wants to do highly advanced adjustments while playing. This driver is equipped with TaylorMade SelectFit Technology. This enables a golfer to shift from one shaft to another among the three given shafts. In addition, Movable Weight Technology (MWT) helps a golfer to change the CG location of clubhead to make different launching conditions.

All those three shafts produce different performance compared to each other. Hence, a golfer playing with this driver can use any of those three shafts depending on the golf course conditions, the weather, his swing status etc.

The r7 CGB MAX Limited driver is equipped with Inverted Cone Technology offering more forgiving on off-center hits by enlarging the area of the clubface. This produces high COR or fast ball speed. This driver comes with few accessories which promotes the performance level in a golfer to excellence. They are:

1. Nine MWT weights – two 1-gram, a 4-gram, a 6-gram, an 8-gram, a 10-gram, a 12-gram, a 14-gram and a 16-gram
2. Three tour-proven shafts – Fujikura Rombax (75 grams), Mitsubishi Diamana White Board (65 grams) and Matrix Ozik XCon (55 grams)
3. Red-colored TaylorMade r7 CGB MAX Limited torque wrench offers 40 inch-pounds of torque and is used to change interchangeable shafts and movable weight cartridges.
4. The well-made magnetic-enclosure head cover.

You can change the launch conditions and swing weight with the help of differently weighed MWT weights. In addition, you can set 357 CG locations in total by using the nine included weights. You will have potential 1,071 launch conditions at your disposal when those 357 CG locations are multiplied by three shafts. You can also make trajectory change from side to side up to 33 yards because of the TaylorMade r7 CGB MAX Limited driver’s MWT.

This TaylorMade driver is very unique which is equipped with Maximum Technology. Hence, this driver offers maximum speed, forgiveness, distance and accuracy. The Movable Weight Technology TM (MWT)  with three weights support alteration in flight path of up to 35 yards from slight fade to large draw for better accuracy and distance (one 16g, two 1g).

This driver’s triangular head shape includes an extremely far-back CG location makes it easy to launch the ball high and super-deep. The SuperFast Technology minimizes overall club weight and supports faster swing speed for added drive-crushing distance. This driver’s 460cc clubhead incorporated with Inverted Cone Technology makes an unusually-high effective MOI (eMOI) that surpass 5800. This fact has been confirmed by the USGA.

Effective MOI or eMOI is defined as the positive manipulation over ball speed on off-center hits that is applied by the combined effects of a driver’s MOI and clubface technology. All these unique have made this r7 CGB MAX Driver a popular one among the golfers in short period of time.
