Taylormade R11s V3 in hand pictures

[Pritam]

I really wish this was available to the public. I find the 460cc heads just too cumbersome most times. I really need to execute a perfect swing to make the ball go anywhere near where I want. It's due to the head size. As someone else mentioned, new technology in a smaller head size would be awesome.

Love the smaller head! Despite not being a TM fan. I think this is a great idea.

I wouldn't put it past TaylorMade to bring it retail next week and call it "TaylorMade R11Surge" after Sergio Garcia

If they did, it would be the first TM driver in the bag since the 510DF/TP. I wouldn't think twice

Here are some comparison pictures with tour issue R11s. The face of the V3 is similar in height but the width is bit (0.6 cm) smaller than the regular R11s. Also the V3 is smaller from front to back and side to side by 0.5 cm than regular R11s.

[Sean25rp]

Would love to give this a whirl!

Still think the 425 was the best driver they made .Wish they would combine r11 technology in a 425cc head would be awsome.

R11s V2 is 420cc I believe.

.83 cor in the 425? 425 w/ FCT tech, interchangable shafts. Be interesting to put both toe to toe with the same shaft 425 vs r11s v3 or v2

[drbonesvt]

That head looks awesome/ nasty! If I only had small mortgage payment to drop on a club. I agree with the others, would nice to have the option of 400 to 425 cc offering without costing a fortune

What's are the exact specs of the head? Loft lie etc

This is the one Sergio is using I am pretty sure. When I was watching him hit driver at the Bridgestone I couldn't believe how small his driver looked to my eye and then I believe Willpeoples made a post about this version shortly after that

At 42.5 inches no less. Heard Costas talking about the length during the broadcast.

Um.... Really hot 2 wood?

Not a bad idea.

[Peoples Golf]

The v3 was developed for Sergio upon request. I havent heard how many players are playing it yet but it has been getting good reviews!

[TheDarkOne]

I'd really like one of those. If they could lose the weight screws even better.

[Rustynuts]

Everyone is banging on about the love for the smaller head etc but wasn't the original R9 only 430 ish cc and that was a bit of a failure so they fixed it with the R9 460? Contrary bunch we are

[moonshine]

It is nice but not worth near what the street price will be. IMO, they make it for the van we should be able to order one. Call it selfish, but that's what I think anyway. Also, still not nuts or buy into the big red plate.

[DrWheeler22]

Troy Matteson is gaming one, been in the bag since early July. I spoke with his caddy Pat Sherry, he said Troy loves it because he is able to work the ball again. A lot of the holes on tour require a shape to stay in the fairway. His fairways hit percentage isn't perfect, but Pat also said Troy is trying to hit it in the first cut on the shorter holes to knock the spin off his wedge approaches to control the distance better. He was on 59 watch not to long ago at the John Deere. Thought this was worth a post, Keep it up this site is great!

Not to mention the 5,546,789 settings. That whizzy shizzy makes me dizzy. Adjust your driver with ball position and set up. Sheesh......

[chiguy]

From what I can tell from the pictures this does look great given that it's smaller. I would love to take one out on the course. If TMAG wants more reviews besides Sergio and those on tour, send me a PM.

[golf_junkie27]

I believe every OEM should release stuff like this on a limited basis in select areas. They have zero to lose. Plenty of good golfers do not want to hit a boot tied into the end of a fishing pole. They would love the option of a 380CC head. In fact, there are plenty of big box stores that offer high end customized options as it pertains to shafts, grips, etc. So why not offer this head size at an upcharge? What is the benefit of not doing so?

[Lefty Cat]

Is Sergio still playing the 103x Blueboard in his driver and fw woods? I've grown pretty partial to the 425/Blueboard combo and I'd like to at least try some new technology. Although I've always thought drivers without a hosel twist more through impact. We'll see.

A lot cheaper than other prices advertised!

Notice it says 400cc

So is the V3 380cc as we've been lead to believe on here or is it 400cc as per the BSG eBay ad?

Not sure, I thought it was also supposed to be sub 400cc. I figured Id post, its the first Ive seen for sale.

[Sourpuss]

i still love my superdeep, 298 to the trees and a 15 yard roll.....
















on a good swing

[Peoples Golf]

Its 390, it was confirmed to me today. I dont think I would believe anything BSG says... haha.

So the latest "white head" is exactly the same size as the R510-TP...Gee what a coincidence! Of course the R510-TP set such a high standard that one has to wonder if this new "white" model could possibly be equal, much less better. I really have my doubts since adding adjustablility to a clubhead actually puts weight in less than optimal positions for maximum performance. (I do concede that adjustablility can help to fine tune the fitting however).

But come on now....$849 for one of these "white" ones? Thats just crazy expensive.

My gut tells me that if you don't already own a R510-TP then you need to take the poor man's option and buy one of those before foolishly dropping $849 for this new 390cc "white head". Plenty R510-TP's on ebay to choose from at bargain prices and the the R510-TP is the 390cc head from TM PROVEN GREAT over time. It remains the "Holy Grail" for many to this day, and for good reason!
