Now we get to the bread and butter of the
Taylormade R11 Fairway Wood For Sale. During the first range
session, I was hitting the ball with decent distance and my natural fade
that I hit with most of my clubs. Despite the temptation of trying to
mess around with the FCT and the ASP, I decided to keep the setting on
neutral. After slowing down the downswing, as I have a violent
downswing, I was making better contact and the Blur was responding
better. After the range, I went to the course to take it out for its
first round. First hit was a low screamer that didnt go too far, maybe
about 150 yards. Again, more of my fault for having a too aggressive
downswing. At the 3rd hole, it was about a 430 yard par 4, I hit a tee
shot that normally would have gone about 150 yards, but ended up flying
to around 190. I hit the ball on the face a little higher than normal
but the ball still went a good distance. I exclusively used the
Taylormade R11 Fairway Wood on
almost all tee shots and was hitting nice 230 yard fades. Ball flight
was a nice piercing mid trajectory and had good roll even though I
usually dont get much. On a par 5 in the back 9, its about 500 yards to
the green. I make a nice compact, smooth swing with a little extra and
absolutely nut one. I check out the gps and see that I was about 245
yards away from the green. A 255 yard drive...not bad! Overall, I'm
still getting adjusted to the R11 and to the way the Blur plays and
feels. For the small amount of time I've had with it, it is definitely a
forgiving head and the ball comes off the face very hot. Shots near
the toe and high off the face still get plenty of distance and consider
this 3 wood one of the best fairway finders out. At the end of the
round, I hit more fairways than I normally do with my V-Steel and if I
was in the rough, it wasnt too far offline. I also could tell that side
spin was less with the R11 than previous fairway woods which is great
for me since slices pop up every once in a while. I'm still in the
honeymoon period, but for now, I think I have finally found my 3 wood!
