Plenty. It depends on what you are looking for. Increasing the loft will help for starters. There are some like the K series from Ping which are silly easy to hit although it does get the ball in the air quickly and so the right shaft is vital. I guess it depends on what you want, what your budget is wtc. One mans meat and all that. Get along to a range or store and try some

Yep is the short answer!
Best thing (as many would suggest on here) is get yourself custom fit. Getting the right shaft is key and for that you need to get your swing speed measured. If you struggle with a slice, the Ping K15 is an anti-slice machine. Also 9 deg is quite low. 10.5 or even 11 would also help.

Most forgiving drivers I've tried are g20 or cobra amp,

Probably the K15 is the easiest I have ever hit. Can be a very high ball flight so may need to tinker with shafts

the most forgiving is the one you feel most comfortable with in your hand. If it feels good in your hands you have a chance. A fitting also helps, you know that the club you have just bought is the best fit for your swing.

Like some others have said, there are plenty out there but it's best to get fitted and try a few

The callaway Diablo octane black in 12 degrees that I hit a while ago was ridiculously easy to hit, with the new gear out aswell you might be able to get a good deal

Ping K15 or a Taylormade burner 08

slightly different take - the R11 is pretty forgiving, certainly relative to the Burner Superfast which was the partner model at the time.
9 degrees is not forgiving at all
you don't mention the shaft you have fitted - this may well be another relevant factor in the forgiveness of the package.
You've been playing since Sept last year and your handicap has dropped to 16 already.
There's not a lot wrong with your driver.
Methinks you're getting that 5 month itch.
But if you do need an easier driver it depends on whether you are a fader or hooker. The K15 is fantastic for slicers, but is no good to a hooker.
Depends on how much your swing is going to change over the next few months as well.

As I said in your other thread about G20 v RBZ, I would have a go with several drivers especially the K15 as a lot of others have suggested but most importantly try to test them out on the course aswell as the range as there is a big difference

I have an R11 driver as well, was really struggling with it, but after I was fitted for a shaft, everything has changed. It was a quality fitting, which is obviously key, wasnt cheap, but regardless it has made a world of difference. I am no expert, but to me it seems its all in the shaft
As others have already mentioned, 9 degrees is quite low, which will magnify any hook or slice spin. Go get fitted, there is nothing wrong with the R11 head, but the stock shafts in the R11 are a joke. Made out of bubblegum and used nappies

Surely you don't want a "straight" club but one that goes on one of your 250 shot shapes!!???
Never really liked the look of square drivers.
I had the Callaway Diablo Edge driver before my Titty and it was very forgiving.
