You'd love it, dude. I hit that combo when I was on the hunt for a new driver and I would have been every bit as happy with it as I am my VRS/Devotion combo. I actually think the Devo plays really close to your Miya Black.

It's good to remember it is much more butt stiff than the black.

ive hit the combo a few times now and really like it but my driver is so solid i don't think it would be any better or worse. i still might get the shaft if i can get one cheap. i think i need a 7 05 if i find one cheap or used id prob snag it.

Buck, if you can hold out a week, I may be able to hook you up.

I didn't think so. I'm not worried about face angle, more worried about loft. Being that you have both the R11 and R11s metal woods, which do you like better?

I must admit the normal R11 vs the R11s play the same but the R11s is my favorite still. They are pretty much the same head though- The only difference is the shaft, I picked the Fujikura Motore F3 80g for the R11 TP 3 wood because I basically use it as a mini driver when I need a low pearcing flight off the tee that's accurate.

I love the stock r11s though because it's reliable and easy to hit off the tee and the deck and I basically use the 3 wood off the tee but ultimately the R11s is my favorite of the two.

Also I feel like the stock shaft on the R11s is better than the wimpy stock blur on the R11-my own opinion of course.

im in no rush, i honestly don't even need it, it be just for fun to go head to head against the Miyazaki Black plus i just got a free R11 adapter so its a sign i should get another shaft.

Hey now, I layed dibs on that driver/shaft when you first picked it up.
 
Hahaha, well, it's all on the Launch Lab if that combo stays or goes.

I like the r11s more than the r11 metal wood simply because of aesthetics, they perform the same for me pretty much

Nah man I'm just given you and Jman a hard time. I just grabbed Vr pro w/ HD6 to give a whirl, so I'm set for now. Although I will be really interested in your comparison between the two.

Is it? I really didn't notice. They performed pretty comparably for me.

Yes, it is. It's why it works better for me than the black with my quicker transition....and I loved the black. The Devo is just better for me because of that.

I am pondering what to do with the top part of my bag. I recently bought a r11 4i which I hit well but it is just about the same loft as my Mashie M3 ( 21* vs 20.5*). The Mashie has been my "go to" club since it went into my bag as a tester almost 2 years ago and I love the club. I am not certain it makes sense to carry both clubs in my bag going forward. Number wise I think it would make more sense to have the top look like this: Driver, 3W(15*) , 4W(17*) or 5W(18*) then the 4i, but I am having issues with the Mashie 5W to go straight all the time (weird I know as I hit the M3 so well). I think I will ponder further try a few combinations and see what happens.

That's a straight shaft Thain. I'm fairly certain if I am recalling correctly that the diameter of the CS 2-ball is .370 like that shaft, not 100% positive though.

I trust your "not 100% positive" more than someone else's "I'm totally sure"! Especially when it comes to putters.

Thinking about getting a component driver head to put onto a spare C Kua shaft. Looking into the Acer XF Titanium:

Since my Classic is 10.5* I really am curious about their 12* or 14* options...yes, there are LH 12* and 14* heads available. JB's more loft post got me pondering.
 
That is a pretty serious ponder J Nate. All those low rounds getting to your head? Next thing you'll be pondering a set of Miura irons. I kid. Actually its pretty interesting.

I figure why not get a cheap head that looks good...so I look on Value Golf and see that...I'd be curious to see what the 14* would do.
