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.
