The TaylorMade R11 Driver

The new TaylorMade R11 driver is making a big splash the golf club market. I was at the PLAYERS tournament at Sawgrass earlier in the year and, I'd estimate, that more than 50% of the tour pro's bags had TaylorMade golf clubs in them. The TaylorMade R11 (driver, rescue clubs, and fairway clubs) is an innovation in club design: with a white crown and black clubface, they are also almost infinitely adjustable - the loft, face angle, trajectory, and spin. To be honest, I thought it was all bit beyond me, but TaylorMade makes it easy, even a non-techie like me: yes, there's an easy-to-follow instruction booklet (you can get yours adjusted at a TaylorMade Performance Lab, if you like). The club feels good in the hands, it's nicely balanced, and it's a real conversation piece too.
