The TaylorMade R11 Irons hit the shelves September 1st, 2011 and were engineered for the player who appreciates the shape and refinement of a tour-grade iron but needs the assistance of advanced technology to launch the ball higher, straighter and longer with less effort than their current clubs.
TaylorMade’s Precision Weight Port is a weight port permanently positioned in the back center of every r11 iron head during assembly. This assures each R11 iron in the set is of uniform swingweight while also ensuring that the center of gravity location is precisely and optimally positioned in the center of the face between the toe and heel, also known as the “sweet spot.” The result is optimal consistency in feel and performance from one club to the next. The weights range from 2.5 to 17 grams and cannot be adjusted by end users or tungsten and cannot be adjusted by consumers.
A glance at the testing stats shows the new R11 irons have many of the same capabilities as the TaylorMade Burner 2.0 irons. Like the 2.0’s the R11 irons are designed to have 15 yards difference in every club, they have the same launch and ball flight results on the trackman and both irons carry almost identical distances in testing.
Add to that add the “inverted cone technology” you have all TaylorMade’s more recent irons to deliver forgiveness on off centre hits and end up with the R11 irons. The first thing about the R11 iron set that will grab the golfer’s attention is its red precision-weighting port, a technology initially introduced in TaylorMade’s forged iron lineup, including the Tour Preferred MB. The precision-weighting port allows TaylorMade engineers to guarantee precise swingweight and ensure center-face Center of Gravity (CG) location in every iron. The result is optimal consistency in feel and performance from one club to the next.
The soles of the TaylorMade R11 irons are moderately thin (with the exception of the long-irons) and the leading edge is moderately sharp, helping it to enter and exit the turf quickly and smoothly. The long-irons are engineered with wider soles to pull the center of gravity lower for easier, higher launch while also increasing MOI to make them more stable and forgiving.
