Rep Power: 0  | You need to buy this driver - R540 XD Been struggling a little lately and thought a new driver may kick me into gear. Still, I hate to spend the $200, 300 or 400 that you see many people spending. So, I waited and waited, and decided that $149.99 for a new TM R540 XD was too good too pass up. Good call! Now, I had been struggling with getting my lower body to unwind properly to gain power, and I think I fixed that coincidentally when I took this new club out, so take this with a grain of salt. However, I didn't even get to swing the club in the store or on the range. We were playing in a scramble and I was the 'position' guy (at least to start), so I didn't even take it out until our seventh hole - a 523-yard par 5. I figured we'd have the leeway to all take our rips. We ended up playing my drive, which was dead down the middle, and right behind the blue dot. I'll take 322, thank you! The club is very well-balanced, live and forgiving. I caught another one slightly on the two and it still got out there. Worth checking out if anyone is in the market. |

Rep Power: 0 | Unfortunately, looks like it's a model that's getting phased out, so it's hard to find (and also why it's so cheap now). Here's a TGW link: http://www.tgw.com/customer/category...TEGORY_ID=4090 Definitely USGA conforming. Picture: http://www.golfgalaxy.com/galaxy/ass...PEIMKDCCAH.jpg |

Rep Power: 0   | Wow, it does look great, is it just me, or is the golf equipment industry starting to move as fast as the computer industry ? |
