Taylormade R11 Driver
The New Taylormade R11 Driver will be showcased at the 2011 Tokyo Golf Show and as usual you can expect GolfToImpress/TourSpecGolf to have plenty of HD Video and High Resolution Images as well as a Taylormade R11 Driver Review. last year we revelaed the Taylormade R9 TP Forged irons along with some other Japan only tid bits. Will it be the R11 DEEP or perhaps an R11 Max this year dedicated to the Japanese Market?
AST = Adjustable Sole Technology
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.
R11 Ghost Driver?
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.
Taylormade R11 TP Driver
Yup it’s a safe bet there will be the R11 TP Driver not too far down the line as well. We can figure the MSRP on the Taylormade R11 will be in the $399.00 range and with the R11TP coming in near $699.00 these are just my guesses, confirmation should be coming soon.
Were these Images Leaked too Early?
My take is that it was an intentional leak and that Taylormade knows exactly what they are doing by getting the pictures out there on the web then asking websites to take them down. It causes a stir getting websites to speculate and customers to get into a pre release frenzy. Taylormade markets product behind the scenes like no other companies. Will they ask GTI/TSG to remove the images while they spread like like fire on the web? Only time will tell…
Taylormade R11 Forged Irons?
Let’s keep going right? It’s not to far of a stretch to say the Taylormade will release R11 Irons with or soon after the release of the driver. R11 Fairway Woods, R11 Wedges, R11 TP Irons, R11 Bags & Hat’s it’s all coming! It’s also pretty safe to say the Japanese Market will be the first to announce R11 Forged Irons and R11 TP Forged Irons.
GolfToImpress will keep you guy’s updated as news comes out …
I am not into the white yet. Putters or drivers. to use to the black as it really brings the ball out.
I kinda like this one for some reason, although white is not my preference on golf equipment.
so what does AST do exactly ?
omg, it is the sickest driver i have ever seen
I’m a big fan of the white. I just think it looks so much more appealing. The only driver I’ve ever owned though was the Burner so I’m not sure about all the adjustable tech. Can only help right?
What an awesome looking driver head! Very cool engineering – The white color is interesting -I suspect it will appeal to a small number though I wonder how this white color will hold up after a year or so of high handicapper scuffs, sky balls and other typical dings that can mess up a club finish?
The adjustability should help just about any swing….Right??!
Dude the design and color is sick. want this driver so bad but iheard the price will range from $400-$600 easily, if not more
I won’t be going to the white. Just won’t work for me, no matter what anybody says to me, I can’t look at a white head, it’s too bright and distracting against white balls. Especially in the bright sunshine, even if it has a matt finish.
I’m also done with the black finish on the face, it gets seriously scuffed real quick and the metal finish looks so much better in comparison. Compared to the regular metal-faced R9 I had, my SuperTri looks like it went through hell, even though I do love my SuperTri as it goes long for me.
I wish they would just leave the white paint off the bottom and the leave the face metal.
Had the R9 for the past year and and the R7 before that, both were OK . Just been fitted with the new Titleist 910 D2…. 30 yards longer and much straighter.
Interesting with all the possible adjustability options… but, not interesting enough. The white head just does not appeal to me.
My guess is that being the opposite of black, a color that has a “slimming” effect (true), the color white will make the club appear bigger than it is. Funny about the color, I started playing golf back in the late 80s and my first Kmart-bought driver was some $25-30 job that was white.
Like to try it before buying it.
Your Message@Monty:
probably that you were fitted, as to why you are 30 yards longer, or you’re just wrong, no driver is 39 yards longer than any other unless the shaft you have now actually works correctly.
White Ghost Driver.. kinda cool agains all odds
Your Message@Anton:
adjustable sole technology….. its in the description
Seriously? People are worried about the color of the driver? So, you’re not then concerned with, say, how well you hit it? God, no wonder the rest of the world laughs at the US.
Color? Really?
white is ridiciulous on golf equipment. sure it looks sick in the store but the reflection that would come off of a white putter, let alone a white driver, would be enough for me not to buy it
