Taylor made r540xd driver

The head is very forgiving, right across the face, and it takes a bad swing to be severely penalised in terms of distance. I have it shafted with the ProLite 35 Stiff, which is a long time favourite shaft of mine, and I find it a nice match to this head. I find that the head plays reasonably true to loft, with this shaft cmobo, maybe just a touch higher.

Spin rates seem spot on for me, with my SS in the range. Distance is fine, with a nice hot feel from the face. I find the distance is consistent, which is something I like.

It is rare to get one that disappoints, or that surprises me, either. Very reliable and predictable. Feel is a little on the muted side, with feedback being less than ideal, but still pleasant feeling, nonetheless.

For me, the XD is a great compromise, with distance, forgiveness, good launch characteristics, and decent feel, all wrapped up into a solid and dependable package.

It remains ITB. I can't have that, so I started to shop for a new driver. I picked one up from Golfsmith because they were actually cheaper than ebay with the free shipping. I've had this driver since January of 06, and since my first range session with it, I've been hitting it better than any other driver. I continued using this driver with great success. I've even tried replacing it, but it keeps coming back into my bag because it's so reliable.

To be honest, I won't be overly shocked if the RXD is better than that too, the driver is just that solid. You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account.
