Changing your trusty big dog.....

It's interesting as we know that every oem pushes length over width so to speak.

My question rolls onto would consistency worry you?

For example you hit ten drives with both bats:

Old Driver 1:
8/10 go where interned
Dispersion 20 yards, (from the 8/10)
Length Avg 250 (from the 8/10)
One bad draw 30yards left, same distance,
One bad fade 30 yard right 10 yards shorter.

New Driver 2:
7/10 go where interned
Dispersion 20 yards, (from the 7/10)
Length Avg 270 (from the 7/10)
One bad draw 50yards left, same distance,
One bad fade 50 yardsright 10 yards shorter.
One lost.

Which would you choose?

Surely as a player you would capitalise more from the extra 20 yards.... Ie approaching a green with a 7/8i 150 yards over a 5/6i 170 yards. If you added this up over the course of a round, surely the one lost ball and dropped shots would be outweighed by the greens you should hit from a closer distance?.... Agreed?

Not being funny but thats a no brainer comparison! One lost and two 50 yards offline is going to tke some making up.

Driver 1 is easy the winner imo!!

It seems quote apparent that a lot of people try new drivers without actually knowing what they want from it.

What they want is a miracle. A new driver may help if fitted to a good swing. A poor swing will still be poor with a new driver . Best advice I ever had" get some lessons to improve swing then get a new driver."
 
Do you not think you can get the best of both worlds?

The Motore F1 is a stout, boardy, lacking-in-feel shaft but it is really 'tight' with good dispersion. What shaft is in the R11 you tried? Moving from something as 'tight' as the F1 in your Amp, I would not be surprised that you experienced broader dispersion of your misses with a loose, light, silly length stock noodle in the R11 ('stock noodle' is not an attempt to knock the stock shaft which may work well for some, rather a descriptive comparison with the 'stout' aftermarket F1).

You could do with experimenting with different shafts in the R11. I expect if you installed a Motore F1 / Matrix Black Tie / Oban Devotion / Tour AD BB / Oban Kiyoshi Black / etc., you would tighten your misses... but then your length may also drop because some of these 'tighter', lower launch / lower spin shafts may well be harder to load.

You'll only know by experimenting.

I'm trying to find a f1 for the r11 and I think I'm there with it, but the issue is it's the girlfriends birthday this month and that means I got to watch the pennies,

I need to try the r11/f1 combo if nothing to rule it out., I love the f1 shaft, very stable.
