I've been using the entire Eleven set for about 3 months. I'm about 5 strokes down and am having a blast playing again. I actually love looking down on them, confident that I'm going to hit it well. Buying these clubs is the best golf decision I've made in years.
Hi Bernie. I am old and play hybrid now. The ones I play have no go in them (NOR DO I NOWADAYS) . I remember you tried some hybrid irons with DAN. Are these the same make. If not can you tell me the make of the other ones.. regards and thanks in advance.
@@berniebarnesgolf Thanks i could not remember the name of them. OLD age. Don't get there. It is not good. retirement if on your own is so destructive to our brains.. thank God for GOLF. I will give these a look.
Thanks for reviewing this new club, I like the way you explain things. However, here is the main criticism I have of reviewers like you. You are an accomplished golfer. You are very skilled at striking the ball with probably any club you pick up. What would make your review more valid for the weekend duffers like me, who make up the vast majority of golfers on this planet, the ones these clubs are actually made for, is for you to sponsor some weekend duffers and let them hit the Elevens and provide a review. Then I would feel more confident that these clubs would make golf more fun for me.
I get that Phil. Everyone has the opportunity to buy one and try it themselves. I borrowed them off Dan to do the review. I haven’t access to give them to others to try and review unfortunately.
Hi Lester, I visited the chaps in their Hereford indoor range. I tested them, and bought the 9-6, also the sandblaster. The chaps are very helpful and are very knowledgeable. They’ve now created a driver, only £249! Can you get one to try it please?
Bernie, unless you're reviewing these clubs for other professional golfers, you reviewing these clubs for weekend duffers like me is of very little value, and here's why. As accomplished a golfer as you could probably hit a ball 200 yards with a garage door. These clubs are made primarily for weekend golfers like me and should be reviewed by weekend golfers, not a pro like you. I don't know if they'd be good for me because I can't hit the ball nearly as well as you.
Unfortunately no review is that useful and I would never buy anything without being fitted by a PGA professional. I can only give my opinion and if those watching are interested then they can try them for themselves Phil.
Nice one Bernie love my Ping G 30 4 & 5 hybrid , Ping G 25 7 wood is my cheating stick , so much easier to use ( properly ) than long irons, not sure about a full set though , what are the 8 - P.W like into the wind ? Cheers.
Send them up for my dad to test. He’s a traditionalist who at 76 needs a buggy to get round but still things he hits a 7i 155 yds when it’s more like 100. I convinced him to put in TM Burner 2.0’s in the bag several 10 years ago to replace Petron GS (custom fitted), he thought he’d paid through the nose for! It’s hard to accept you would need these but it’s clear the advantages they could bring.
I've got a 7 wood, 4 Hybrid & 3 Iron that are all at 21 degrees and I interchange them depending on the conditions I'm playing in. No doubt these clubs are targeted at senior players but could be a useful addition to the average golfers set as an alternative.
Great to see a higher handicap player reviewing these clubs instead of a youtube professional golfer !!!!!!! 😂😂great review , and can see these being popular and prolonging a few people's golf years .
Good review - not for me as I ditched my hybrids in favour of long irons that suit my home course conditions- but I can a lot of advantages for those who struggle with irons / getting height
Good review video LB. They will develop combo sets aimed at better players I suspect to address the gapping issue. Maybe with shorter club with less body as they progress to wedge. We will see
Interesting and well thought out review - these type of clubs are the future for lots of golfers and will enable them to continue playing enjoyable golf as we age and slow down. Currently my longest iron is a 6 iron, but can see more hybrid type clubs slipping into the bag as I age.
Absolutely John, I think it’s more the stigma of having a bag of woods / hybrids that puts many off. They need to lose the ego and play what suits them.
Those clubs are absolutely perfect for their target audience!! I couldn’t use them for anything less than a 5 I’d say, but for slower swing speeds or people learning the game, or people who play but have struggled with various things (we’ve all done that!), they’re great! I remember working in the bag room in highschool cleaning clubs about 28 years ago or so, and one member had a set of all hybrids!! Only thing I hated was they all had head covers so they were a pain to clean 😂 Cheers Lester!
@@berniebarnesgolf Ha, just realized I typed all bad head covers. Meant to say whole bag of head covers! But yes, it did look weird and the guy wasn’t overly kind so I wasn’t a big fan!
@@nobrien1 No it’s the clubs that were a pain to clean because you had to take those ridiculous covers off each club! When you’re cleaning clubs for hours at a time, and you’re a teenager, that was not the bag you wanted to see as you were trying to finish your job!
Please go the extra mile/km. Take them to the range or simulator and get your distance figured out. And go play them for real for 4 rounds, trying your best. No messing around. Then get back to us. Thanks
Average age of 63!!! I am a junior on this channel 😝 My WITB will be modern (ish) next year but as a junior on this channel Lester I won’t need these for a few more years 😝🏌️♂️🍺
Nice! I struggle with fairway woods so play hybrids instead, 5, 4, 2. I couldn't get a 5 iron into the air easily but my 5h is so easy to hit up and out. Cheers Bernie👍.
I have a set but I made a bit of a major error when it came to flex strength. I went for the senior flex because I have a Cleveland 5 hybrid with that flex and it plays beautifully well. So the problem I am having is I find the elevens going right of my target with my regular swing, can you give me any tips or do I need to send them back to get refitted? Reply
Excellent review Bernie! I would definitely consider using hybrids from 5 to 8 as I'd benefit from the added distance and especially the 'drop and stop' 😊. Couldn't imagine them replacing shorter irons. Btw, average age 63?
Why would you consider buying these clubs based on how a professional hits them? Do you have any idea how a weekend golfer can hit them? Pros can make any club look good, what I want to know is how a golfer at my level can hit them and if they will help my game.
Iv just got a couple of these clubs .7 and a pitching wedge . They are so easy to hit and I find that they always seem to go straight .I will be buying four or five more over the next few months s The only downside I've found is the club head face paint comes off quite quickly
Clubs like these would definitely help golfers, like a few of my mates, who have lost club speed and, as a result, hit very low shots with most of their clubs. It's tough for them to gauge distances, because their shots can go farther after they land than they do in the air.
How do you know these clubs would help your mates? When you have a professional golfer reviewing them, you learn nothing about how your weekend duffer friends would handle them. Lester can hit a ball 200 yards with a garbage can, so he's making these "duffer" clubs look fantastic. He needs to have weekend players review them.
@@philrutherford6486 These clubs would help my mates because, by design, they have more sole weighting (lower centers of gravity), which would produce higher launch angles and longer carry distances.

Love that Bill! They are definitely a decent bit of kit and can benefit many!
good review ..worst golf course ever 😂
Thanks for the review, Lester. Can you compare them to the Cleveland Launcher XL HALO irons some time down the road? Thanks.
One of my sons friends at Liberton in Edinburgh William Jaimison had a full set of Spalding hybrids some 40 odd years ago left handed.
That’s cool! I realise nothing in golf is new 😂 Joan.
Just saw a set on Offer Up here in California. 3-SW. $60.

These are the ones I tried / reviewed with Dan! Just upgraded with a better shaft (similar to what I have in my irons)

Good review, but not for me
Thanks Damien! Appreciate they aren’t for everyone. Thanks for the view and comment.
Not for me Lester but I can see the appeal to some.
Great review, vlog as always, keep up the great content.
Thanks for watching Andrew!
@berniebarnesgolf No problem Lester, I was one of your first ever subscribers, will support you as long as you run the channel.
You are a legend!
Take these out in a medal mate, would be a great vid
I did consider it Bill 😂 I may do it in a non qualifier 😂
Hi Lester, I visited the chaps in their Hereford indoor range. I tested them, and bought the 9-6, also the sandblaster. The chaps are very helpful and are very knowledgeable. They’ve now created a driver, only £249! Can you get one to try it please?
I’m glad they looked after you mate! Richard and Nick are good blokes! I’ll message Richard and see whether I can get a driver to test.

They go so high Les 😂 I feel like I need to game them when it’s windy to properly test them!
Send them up for my dad to test. He’s a traditionalist who at 76 needs a buggy to get round but still things he hits a 7i 155 yds when it’s more like 100.

It’s hard to accept you would need these but it’s clear the advantages they could bring.
I think you’ve highlighted the issue here Stuart! My dad was the same!
Cleveland has them too. They were called cheater clubs a few years ago
Were they actually!? 😂
I've got a 7 wood, 4 Hybrid & 3 Iron that are all at 21 degrees and I interchange them depending on the conditions I'm playing in. No doubt these clubs are targeted at senior players but could be a useful addition to the average golfers set as an alternative.
So you hit the 3 clubs a similar distance? I’ve got a traditional 4 iron and a 4 hybrid, the hybrid goes 15 yards further when hit properly.
Great review Lester. Do they just have 1 wedge or several with different lofts?
Thanks
David
One pitching wedge David. Can’t imagine the would sell as many wedges as mid irons though.
Where can you buy this clubs?
I can not locate one in eBay.
Thanks
Tony
www.eleven-golf.com/ that’s the link to the company direct Tony.
The price point and the opportunity to buy them as individual clubs means I might give a couple a go Lester.
I’d suggest buying one, try it, if you like it sell it on and you won’t lose much before committing to a full set.
Great to see a higher handicap player reviewing these clubs instead of a youtube professional golfer !!!!!!! 😂😂great review , and can see these being popular and prolonging a few people's golf years .
😂 😂 I was nearly one at the start of the year Martin 😂 😂

Definitely think that’s what they will have to do long term Tim
Seriously considering the 5-PW senior shaft. I’m 67 and have lost distance and really having a
Hard time getting any height these days
You are able to order one to try them. I can guarantee you will increase height / trajectory off the clubs.
@@berniebarnesgolf thank you

Full hybrid sets are nothing new but i like this head shape
Absolutely. Lots of different styles out there as you say. First set I’ve hit.

Worth tying Mick! Thanks for watching!

Talking like what!?
Average age of 63!!! I am a junior on this channel 😝
My WITB will be modern (ish) next year but as a junior on this channel Lester I won’t need these for a few more years 😝🏌️♂️🍺

Is your first traditional iron a 6 iron John?
@@berniebarnesgolf yes it is. I can hit that ok, but seem to struggle getting the 5 iron airborne and pure off the ground.
Makes sense.

It’s hard to know the reasons without seeing you hit them Gareth. Do you hit every club to the right? Did you hit your old clubs to the right?
Hi bernie, no I am reasonably straight with my older clubs with more of a tendency to the left.
Maybe contact eleven and see if they can help
Funnily enough, I sent them a message earlier

I love these clubs.. I’m a hybrid guy.. I get height, distance and control.. and I have this thing that is often rare called FUN.. 🤩
Love that! Exactly what golf should be about!

I wasn’t a massive fan of the headcovers, feel they could be better and that would help protect the club heads better!

Totally agree! Maybe not a full set but by having 3 maybe 4 of them in the bag would benefit most ageing golfers Howie.
