I gotta tell ya, the new look of the R11 is growing on me. It's a white crown with a black face. I didn't like it at first, but after watching Jason Day at the Masters, now I'm thinking of buying the driver and the 3 wood. I guess I'm a sucker for product placement, and Jason Day was so much fun to watch, I admit it had something to do with the appeal.
This kid was playing in his first Masters, and he darn near won it. (He lost to Charl Schwartzel by two strokes.) Some of the camera shots of Jason standing on the tee box were priceless. His pre-shot routine is to stand behind the ball and look down the fairway and visualize the shot. As the pressure mounted, his expression looked like a kid who was standing on a high dive at the community pool. He looked terrified to jump but even more terrified not to jump. Jason managed to suck it up and birdie the last two holes -- simply amazing.
Having said that, it's not all Jason. I've hit the driver and I really liked the feel. This 3 wood is obviously the compliment. Both driver and fairway wood have the adjustable loft with the FCT that allows you to adjust the face for 60 yards of variance. The shape is more aerodynamic than the R10, and of course I've already mentioned the new modern look with the non-glare white crown with all-black face. This contrast helps with your alignment to see if your face is open or closed.
