I recently was fitted by a TaylorMade rep and purchased an R11s with a recommended Aldila 65 NV shaft. My first few rounds with it left me thinking I had totally wasted $400. Nothing was solid. I was extremely bummed. Then, about 1/2 way through a round, something just clicked and I began blistering drives 280 - 300 yards right down the middle with a slight draw, with my longest being 335 on a hole I had never been more than 290 off of the tee before. I found I was fighting the club and when I just relaxed and let it rip, it performed just as it did on the launch monitor. So yes, it can take time to adjust to a new club.
