WE TESTED: 9° with Aldila RIP Phenom 60 graphite shaft.
KEY TECHNOLOGIES: TaylorMade R11S driver
is lighter, larger (460cc vs. 440cc) and offers more adjustability than the R11. An adjustable soleplate alters face angle (3° closed to 3° open). The “Flight Control Technology” hosel changes loft by +/- 1.5°. Two movable weights are 10 grams and 1 gram.

OUR TESTERS SAY: One of the top drivers tested. Multiple adjustability options make it suitable for a wide range of players.

PROS
DISTANCE: One of the longest drivers; off-center hits keep you satisfied time after time.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: Your accuracy can be improved by quickly adjusting the TaylorMade R11S driver ; a very
forgiving stick—sidespin is adequately reduced; pushes and pulls replace slices and hooks.
FEEL: Immediate feedback on all shots; powerful and explosive on sweet-spot hits; a more muted sensation on off-center hits.
PLAYABILITY: Hot, boring draws; the ability to shape shots is there for more skilled players.
LOOK: The now-familiar white head contrasts with a black face to make alignment a snap.

CONS
Some testers don’t see much difference versus TaylorMade R11S driver
; a few dissenters aren’t fans of the white look, which shows dirt and scratches.
