I am currently using an R11s (460cc) and i am using 31/4'' tee for it, is it better to use 4'' for it? what are the advantages? or is 31/4'' more preferable?

NNever measured a tee... id say it depends on how deep you stick it in the earth. If you are hitting it low on the club face try a longer tee or don't put it in as deep.
I'm sure an expert will chime in shortly good luck

So this is just me, but I always use 3 1/4".  I feel it gives the perfect amount of tee height for a driver of this size.  Honestly, getting longer and longer tees just can get ridiculous.  One of the good luck charms in my bag is actually an unbroken tee I found on the tee box. I have never measured but that sucker has to be at least 5.5".  I just started laughing when I saw it and started envisioning somebody teeing it up that high.  But I agree, professionals that will know much more about it will chime in here soon.

I just use one of those 3 1/4" ones with a blue stripe on as I know I can push it in the ground up to that line so will always tee up the same height - there are enough other variables for me to worry about besides that as well! :)

I use a 4" tee, tip trimmed 1/2" - it's a bomber!

I use 4" tees of the middle of my front foot or pinky toe when I really want to bust one. The bad news of doing this is it does promote sliding and is a band-aid for a hitch in your swing. But for me, if it's the long drive hole in league, out she comes!
