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. Taylormade Rocketballz RBZ Driver 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. 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).Taylormade Rocketballz RBZ Irons 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.

Before the R11, all hosel based adjustable drivers had a fairly significant limitation - you couldn’t adjust the loft without also adjusting the face angle. So TaylorMade added the new Adjustable Sole Plate to the R11 to add a third "dimension of distance". So golfers can now adjust loft, face angle and flight path separately.I took the R11 to the driving range at Deerfield to test the "3 Dimensions of Distance" (as TaylorMade calls it) to see if I could find the right R11 for me. To start, I hit it without adjusting any of the settings.TaylorMade R11 Driver The first thing I noticed was how easy it was to hit. My first five drives on the range went right down the imaginary gut and the trajectory and ball flight matched my typical shot shape (isn't it funny how the first few shots with any new club are always awesome?). I hit a few more drives and then decided it was time to experiment with the first dimension of distance - loft.
