Tuning r11 driver

The different loft adjustments of the TaylorMade R11 driver for both the 9. The TaylorMade R11 driver features a Movable Weight Technology MWT that allows you to fine-tune the center of gravity of your driver for either a neutral flight or a draw. The R11 driver comes with a red colored 10g weight in its toe and a yellow colored 1g weight in its heel.

The position of these weights can be interchanged to change the center of gravity and implement the weight settings based on your playing preference. You will have to use the accompanying TaylorMade wrench to help with the weight settings. The steps mentioned below provide a walkthrough of the weight settings of the TaylorMade R11 driver. The way the two weights on the TaylorMade R11 driver are positioned plays a key role in determining how much distance players are able to achieve with it.

With the draw setting, the distance tends to come down considerably when compared to the neutral flight setting. There are two ways you can choose to set the TaylorMade R11 driver for a draw.

One way to do this is to increase the loft of the driver. The other option is to do a weight setting adjustment. You can also choose to do both settings together. The clubface closes marginally at the time of impact with a draw setting. The backspin as well as launch increases while the distance decreases.

The ball also gets directed from right to left for right-handed players and vice versa for left-handed players. The driver offers the maximum draw when the driver loft is at the HIGHER marking and the 10g heavyweight is positioned at the club heel.

These differences are highlighted below. The R11 comes in loft options of 9. The R11s driver has an extra 0. Similarly, the adjustable sole plate of the R11s supports five lie angle settings of neutral, slightly open, slightly closed, open and closed in contrast to the three neutral, closed and open settings of the R These extra settings help golfers to increase or decrease their launch, backspin and distance with the R11s driver. The R11 driver has a clubhead size of cc while the R11s driver has a bigger cc clubhead.

The larger sweet spot combined with better aerodynamics makes the R11s a more forgiving and better-performing driver with more distance. However, the shaft flex and stock weight of both the shafts are the same 60g. The sound of the R11s driver appeals better to some players in comparison to that of the R11 driver. However, there are players who claim that the R11 sounds and feels better. The loft sleeve and sole plate support different settings while the movable weights allow swapping the existing weights.

First remember that the ASP has no impact on performance, just appearance at address if you are resting the club on the ground. It does make it look closed, neutral or open if the club is resting on the ground, once you lift it, it has no real use.

FCT is easy to adjust it the lie angle and loft angles. It has 8 settings. I found the standard neutral works best for me. The 3rd setting that took the most tweaking to get it where I wanted it was the MWT. I have a whole bunch of different weights, I think I tried almost every combo I could think of until I settled on a lighter than expected combo of 6gr heel 1gr toe. This is 4 grams lighter than stock, but really seemed to do the trick for me.

It comes stock with a 10gr heel and 1gr toe. But also swingweights at D5 so this brought it down to D3. I was surprised to see the loft at 9 instead of 9. No one is going to miss you rocking this driver at the course. You will most likely have to field some questions about it too. But if your results are like mine, you will be more than happy to share them.

On the course I was really impressed with this driver right off the shelf. It had a good feel, just not quite as tight feeling as the real deal Blur available in the TP version. It was rolling out quite nice, even for the early spring. It was fairly straight, but from time to time because of the length of the shaft at Even though the shaft got a little wild with my swing at times, the face was very forgiving. The sound and accessories are pretty stock Taylormade.

The good metalic sound at impact can be changed with the weights. More tinny with less weight and more muted with heavier weights. The Tour Velvet grip and long sock headcover make for a nice combo.
