I know I’m a little late on this one, but it’s better late than never, right?Anyway, TaylorMade debuted the R11 driver at the 2011 PGA Merchandise Show and it quickly gained popularity among professional and amateur golfers alike. The most distinguishing feature of the R11 (and its sister driver, the Burner Superfast 2.0) is the milky white crown. Taylormade Rocketballz RBZ Driver Sure, TaylorMade was not the first equipment company to offer a white driver, but it’s the first company (to my knowledge) that made it successful. The R11 is available in two different lofts (9 and 10.5 degree) and four different flexes (M, R, S and X). TaylorMade sent me 10.5 degree R11 with a stiff shaft.

Like many of TaylorMade’s products, the R11 seemed to polarize the golf world with its white matte finish. You either loved the look of it or you hated it. Not many people I spoke to about the R11 were neutral about it. Taylormade Rocketballz RBZ Irons I am one of those who liked the look of the white crown because I think white is classy and distinguished (I wore a white tuxedo to my senior prom). I will say though, the problem with the white finish is it stains easier. I’m not quite sure how it happened, but I managed to get grass stains on the top of the driver during my testing.
Experience.
