The R11s has a solid representation at all levels, including the Professional Tours. Some clubs fit swings better than others and I would probably benefit from a slightly different shaft.
While I struggled with the R11’s consistency, I realize it is still a great driver.
Technology comes with a price, which makes it one of the most expensive drivers as well with a retail value of $399.99 (but by comparison to the $499 pricetag of the R7, I guess this is pretty reasonable). The TaylorMade R11s is one of the most technologically advanced drivers available today. There was not a big difference on off-center hits. The RBZ Black driver has a 460 cc head volume for playability and confidence. Engineered to deliver aggressive styling and powerful performance. 350' tip so bought a Matrix rocketfuel shaft with 350 tip from Ebay.
I wanted to replace with a like for like shaft, the rocketfuel by Matrix so I looked up the specs and found that it should have a. Experience the next generation of RBZ with the TaylorMade RocketBallz Black. After breaking the shaft on my Taylormade RBZ stage 2 three wood I decided to try and replace it myself. The ball feels fairly consistent due to TaylorMade’s patented Inverted Cone Technology, which promotes a larger sweet spot on off-center hits. It has a loft of 9.5 for driver stiff, 10.5 regular flex, and 12 senior as per your choice.
Impact produces a very loud crack (almost too lound, in my opinion). The R11s has a heavier feel with a D4 swing weight. Overall, I was actually disappointed with this drivers performance. The easy to follow instructions show you exactly what adjustments to make to achieve your desired ball flight. However, the instructions are fairly simple to follow. The R11s might feel a bit overwhelming when you first purchase the club. I’m not sure if this club release was really necessary, as it was not much of an improvement on the original. In reality for my game and swing, the RBZ stock specifications outperformed the R11s stock specifications. Maybe my experience with the RBZ spoiled it, but the R11s failed to meet my expectations. I struggled with a slight push on many of the shots. With a few of the adjustments of the club, I was able to produce a much higher launch and ball flight. Testing yielded basically a mid ball flight with minimal movement. The R11s is designed to allow the player to manipulate ball flight. I mainly tested the club in a neutral face angle, standard loft and lie and draw bias with 10 gram weight in heel and 1 gram weight in toe weight port. I tested the R11s 9 degree driver with the stiff TaylorMade RIP Phenom 60 gram stock shaft. The Moveable Weight Technology allows you to change the 1 gram and 10 gram weight to manipulate ball flight. The R11s features two weight ports, one in the toe and one in the heel. Overall the TaylorMade RBZ RocketBallz Driver is a very good club and one we would recommend.Flight Control Technology (FCT) allows you to change the orientation of the driver head with the shaft to effectively adjust the loft up or down, giving you 8 choices of lie and loft and face angles that range from +/- 1.5° of lie and +/- 1.5° of loft and +/- 3° of face angle. The standard Matrix X-Con 5 shaft is better than recent stock shafts on TaylorMade's standard models but still not as good as the TP version so make sure you get fitted for the correct one for your swing. However using the adjustable hosel on the RBZ driver we were able to take some loft off to reduce the height, although this did change the lie angle of the club, but that was OK. On the course the RocketBallz Driver felt and sounded very good and the ball flight was a little on the high side. The lie is also down a degree and a half and combined with the shorter shaft length you feel much more comofrtable over the ball. It also means less weight and the combination of a light head, shaft and grip makes this is a light club at under 300 grams. Thankfully TaylorMade have reduced the length of the shaft by half an inch to 46 inches so even though it feels long, it is much more manageable and that will mean more accuracy. At address it has a more rounded head and it sits behind the ball very nicely and the white head/black face colour scheme makes it very easy to align. The TaylorMade RBZ RocketBallz Driver succeeds the Burner Superfast 2.0 driver and the standard version is a lot better.
