  I really like the G20 driver even with the speed being different to the irons. Can't see my buying another driver for the sake of a few extra yards.

  yeah i completely agree on G20 driver .. also love it alot .. i mean, how much longer is the lvl88 R11 .. 3 or 4 yds maybe ?

  for me it's just the idea of closer mtr speeds between driver & irons .. just a theory i have

  I don't see much point wasting money on Legend RGs atm. Basically have to hit a 29 to break even.

  Know what you mean Salt,but with a slight boucne can be as much as 15 yrds..prefer a 190 approach than a 205...also hole 7 on St Gs,don't know about G20s but RBZ hits hump on landing off the drive most times so no nice kick for easier iron in.Andy ps: (don't play legend RG's either atm,maybe if I had the same tools ?

  The only thing I want irons that stop in a tailwind.

  It is not the extra distance as much as the extra precision. I know 1/2 dot doesn't seem like much but it is.And even though on paper the R11 is only 2 yards longer than the higher level G20 it actually plays for like 5 to 7 yards.And the 1/2 less forgiveness doesn't seem to be that much. And when you hit level 94 the full dot extra forgiveness of the R11s Driver is huge. I bought the G20 driver a few weeks after it came out and I was not impressed at all. At least not after having used the R11 ever since it came out.
