NEW Taylor Made R11 Irons

Earlier this year, TaylorMade Golf Company turned the golf world upside down with the introduction of the R11 – the industry’s first white driver with never-seen-before adjustability features that injected an unmatched level of excitement in the industry. In just two short months, this innovative and revolutionary product garnered historic marketshare and quickly became the No. 1 played driver model on Tour. Today the company takes its next step in cementing the legacy of the R11 franchise with the introduction of R11, the iron.

Combining the distance and forgiveness found in the legendary Burner 2.0 along with the feel and precision of the Tour Preferred line, the R11 irons are engineered for the player who favours a traditional blade but appreciates the near effortless ease required to launch the ball high, straight and long. The R11 irons are truly a masterwork of beauty, technology and performance.

No other iron combines this kind of distance, this kind of forgiveness, is this easy to launch, and feels and sounds this soft and solid. And its appearance is extraordinarily beautiful, a gorgeous blend of smooth, classic lines and
high-tech flourishes.

“If we were going to name an iron after the R11 driver, you can bet it was going to be worthy of its name,” said Sean Toulon, executive vice president of TaylorMade. “In fact, the pressure was on us to make this iron particularly special because our R11 metalwoods are the finest pieces of golf equipment the world has ever seen. I can assure you, there has never been an iron with this much technology that looks this good and fits so many players.”

Historically, irons engineered with multiple game-improvement technologies tend to be big, inelegant and clunky, with thick toplines, broad soles and busy-ugly cavities. They typically feel harsh and sound high-pitched and “clicky”. The R11 iron breaks that mold and rewrites the book about what a high-technology iron can look like, feel like and sound like.

The centrepiece of the R11 iron and the first thing that will grab the golfer’s attention is its striking red precision-weighting port (PWP), a technology initially introduced in the Tour Preferred line which allows TaylorMade engineers to guarantee precise swingweight and ensure centre-face Centre of Gravity (CG) location in every iron to promote optimised ball flight in the long-, middle- and short-irons.

Progressive CG location positions the CG low in the longer irons to make them easier to launch, and higher in the shorter irons. Wider soles in the longer irons pull the CG lower for easier, higher launch while also increasing MOI to make them more stable and forgiving.
