The more a driver is tuned to you, the farther you'll hit it. With
R11's 3D Tuning, you can independently tune loft, face angle and flight
path to your swing to maximize your distance. Only
TaylorMade R11 Hybrid is this
adjustable. Only R11 gives you this much control over your distance.
Everything about the
TaylorMade R11 Hybrid adjustment screams ‘technology.’ The paint
on the crown, the RIP shaft, and especially the adjustability factor.
This factor, known as Flight Control Technology (FCT), is the soul of
this club. With FCT you can increase or decrease the launch angle by 1
degree. There are eight, count them eight, different FCT positions that
allow you to increase or decrease loft in .5 increments as well. Why
should it’s big brother R11 driver have all the adjustable fun right?
With every FCT adjustment your spin rate will also change as well. More
loft gives you more spin for greater carry while the lower the loft the
less spin you’ll get with a little less carry. Don’t believe me? Look
at Exhibit A below. Exhibit B can be found in the ‘Testing’ section of
this review where I tell you what I saw when I played with these
different settings to dial myself in. In addition to the adjustability,
Taylormade also placed the CG (center of gravity) lower and more
towards the rear of the clubhead which is designed for better shot
shaping capability. Does this all work like its advertised? Read on my
friends.
Overall
Taylormade has given the golfer options without making them feel that
they will be overwhelmed and not end up using the features that come
with the Rescue R11. I think this is a nice bonus to a golfer who may
not yet be ready to take on an adjustable driver or fairway wood. Crawl
before you can walk right? Hybrids have officially joined the
adjustability game and the Rescue R11 is a player. A serious one at
that, paint scheme aside. There’s a little something for everyone with
this club and it should definitely be on your short list to check out if
you’re in the market for a new hybrid
