The Krank sales pitch got me late one night after a couple of pops, purchased the F11X head only for $280. The next morning I sent an email to them to cancel. Dave from Krank called to confirm my address and I asked if he had received my cancellation email. He said no, why did I cancel? Not wanting to admit I was tipsey couch surfing, I explained that I wanted a club with a shaft. He offered one for another $100, I said no thank you and he agreed to cancel. About 30 minutes later he called to offer a free shaft. At this point it was time to give it a try. Dave custom fit me adding an inch to the length and a jumbo grip, he said he knew I would love it.
Dave was so helpful it scarred me after talking, then I read the reviews on this site but it was too late. The driver came in just two days, sent Friday, received Monday. The head shape and face looks like my Rogue driver, the shaft says speeder all over it and there is a gritty matte black finish, not smooth like a fishing pole. It really looked great, but I had my doubts and considered selling it as new in plastic wrapping hoping to break even.
Yesterday I took it out to the course, what the hell, I bought it to hit. The added inch made it looser than my normal length stiff shaft. First tee, shank left. I was so focused on whether it would work I made a bad swing. Second hole made better contact with a leak to the right. Third drive, nutted it as far as I have ever hit a drive. My playing partner who is usually about 10 yards shorter than me was now 40 yards behind. For the rest of the round my good swings were monsters and bad swings were still long and not as errant as with my Rogue. On the first par 5 I got on in two, this has not happened for 20 years when I was much stronger. Unfortunately missed the eagle put but was happy with the bird.
Summary of my review, the Krank F11X is exactly what it says it is, not snake oil. If others did not experience greater distance they did not give themselves a chance to get used to the club. Regardless of how people feel about hicor drivers, this driver is longer than my Rogue and my Sim max by a lot. The hicor added probably 20 yards and the longer shaft another 10. The build quality is like Callaway or TM. The sound is a high pitched "ting!", didn't bother me but some may care? The Krank driver reminds me of when Taylormade came out with the crazy big 320 cc head  (1997), driving the golf ball became fun for everyone, not just the pro's. By the way, Dave was right, I love it! 
 
About me, 48 yo, 18 handicap, 100-105 SS. Play the same club most every Saturday, the change in distance lets me play different shots on the same track. This driver will not be used in PGA sanctioned events or scores recorded that would impact my handicap, it's only to have more fun playing golf. This is consistent with how the club is marketed.
