General Discussion - Taylormade R11 Driver & Callaway Razr Hawk Karensour - Sun Nov 04, 2012 10:03 pm Post subject: Taylormade R11 Driver & Callaway Razr Hawk
Today, another industry has won that same place in my heart as I await the launch of the latest golf clubs each January.
The TaylorMade R11 Driver has an all-white top with a black face, the first color combo of its kind. TaylorMade says the color contrast makes it easier to align the club at address. The all-titanium 440cc club is unique because of three variables that can be adjusted with 48 different possible settings. The Adjustable Sole Plate (ASP) allows a face-angle range from 2 degrees closed to 2 degrees open.
The Callaway RAZR Hawk Driver's face is milled to remove excess material from the prime hitting areas. The thin face provides greater distance. Callaway calls it Hyperbolic Face Technology. Given the carbon fiber's low density, weight could be redistributed to the outer edge of the club head to promote stability and forgiveness. The weight savings also permits the 460-cc club-the largest allowed-to be shaped for better aerodynamics.
