As soon as I made Master status I found the increase in Tee distance was a problem. I needed a better than 250yd driver and although there are some 260ish drivers to be had for around 1700 credits, the significantly better stats on the R11 really made it worth spending the additional 700 or so creds. I'm expecting it to last me a long time and I have been very happy with it in the short time I have had it.
