R What? The driver is perhaps golf's most intriguing club and rightly so. Recently I spoke to two persons and the topic centered on drivers. One bought a R11. What is distinct about the R11 from TaylorMade? If you have ever played Taylormade drivers such as the r5, r7, R9, R9 460, R9 SuperTri you will understand roughly what the R11 could be.

If you are doing r5, you are behind the times. r7 too as the R9, R9 460, R9 SuperTri, Burner Super Fast have already happened so quickly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvwT4LNaPVM Most drivers come in black, a few in dark hue of grey, occasionally dark blue and at times deep red. The black paint job they splashed on the crown of drivers are made glossy so that it looks attractive to you rather than Matt but you take note that glossy crowns is a source of distraction to the eyes when looking down at it with the sunlight's reflection. Immediately, a white coloured crown will not have that effect on yo...
