Is there any major benefit that justifies spending $200 more on a R11 than the R9? I'm not good at golf so I'm not sure if I would notice any differences. Any help would be appreciated.

I thought those were Rant-esque nicknames for some obscure football players

You can get an R11 for less than 200. R11s is HOT. The difference between R9 and R11 is the adjustable sole plate on R11 vs just weight adjustment on R9.

Agree


Get a r9 or find a superfast 2.0. If your skill level is low, you wont know the difference

Spend the xtra dough on a lesson.

Used R11s for $219, plus 20% off with code that is on page. Takes it down to $176.

Code is BB20. Might not work for R11s after looking at that particular page. The Superfast 2.0 is one of the clubs it works for and you can get one for less than $100.

Technology. I have r11. It's so much better than R9. It's longer by far and easier to hit and also straighter

I have the r11 and my dad had r9. He hit mine once and ordered his r11 that day

TTT, I used to work in the golf industry. There is absolutely no difference between them except for the soul plate as mentioned and a few technical specs that won't matter to average golfers. Go with the cheaper of the two.

And unless rest your driver behind the ball before you start your swing, this wont matter anyway.

Just don't be a Jew for once and get the better one. You can honestly get a brand new rocketballz driver for 200. 3 years better tech than the R9.

Trust me when I tell you I've hit both plenty and R9 is alot better. At least a 12 yard difference in distance and is also alot more forgiving

this is the dumbest argument ever, people say this shite every year new shite comes out.

guess what? if that was the case people would be hitting it 400 fricking yards 3 years ago. also everyone would be a single digit handicap if everything got more forgiving
