Taylormade R11 irons

[joust]

Hi Ricky,

I've just bought a set of these irons, and my 'offical' h'cap would be 28.......I was fully fitted for these at a well equipped range, and tried TM RBZ, CB, R11's, Titleist AP1's and AP2's, Callaway Razr X tours, Ping I15/I20's, Mizuno JPX 800/800 pro's, and some from Cleveland.

My initial problem is that I was launching 'high' so was losing distance. So all shots were tracked with trackman, and from that I whittled it down to 3 clubs that I liked. I also tried different shafts, but from my swing speed (about 75mph with 6 iron), I was advised for regular flex shafts. I did however have DG R300, as they launched lower, with less spin......

All in all, that took over 2 hours, and about 150 balls hit. I'm now onto my 3rd round, and getting used to them. Longer hits, and not thinning now, just need to get my direction sorted, then I should be on my way.

Hope that helps.

So what your saying is not a good set of irons for a 21 handicapper

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

They have irons like the CB designed for higher handicaps (cavity backed GI irons).
The R11, IMO is a "better player" club a bit like Mizuno MP52/53 or the Titelist AP range.

If you wanna splash the cash then by all means, but go try them against a GI set and see what suits you better.

Just after a little bit of advice! I was thinking of up grading my irons and I really like the look of the R11 irons!! I play off 21 handicap! Would these irons be any good for me with such a high handicap or what irons would be better suited for my playing ability!! Just love the look of the r11 irons!

I have played the r11's off a high handicap and found them really easy to hit and had a great feel and look, just super clubs in my opinion.:thup:

I had a swish with a 6 iron at a local DG when they were first released.

I'll be honest. The only thing that put me off buying them was the price!

I bought a set of these a while ago and am loving them now (off 20.)

I didnt initially have them on my list as I thought they were for the lower hcapper but they gave better results against some other clubs which were supposedly going to be more at my level.

As above I would go and check as many different sets as you can.
