I've had decent success with this driver. Unfortunately, the club face crumpled/dented two months after I'd bought it. Nonetheless, when it WAS in good working order, I found it to be an easy driver to hit.

For the last 2 years I have been using a Firesole driver and I couldn't live without it. Then one day my buddy and I were playing and he hits a ball into some woods and wants to borrow my driver to punch his ball out with. Why I let him I still don't know but I did and he hit it on a tree root and snapped it off at the hosel. This was 2 months ago and I've tried everything there is to try since. I had my Firesole reshafted with a UST shaft but it kept coming off. So I tried a TM 320 with a UST shaft and the head of this thing was like swinging a stinking mailbox on a stick. Then I tried a Calloway GBB with a UST shaft and it was a huge banana slicer. Then came an impulse purchase because of a slick sales person, a Adams Tight Lies ST 9 degrees. What a piece of crap. This thing was short, wild left, and wild right. It only cost me $100.00 on a Memorial Day Sale but it was not worth half that! Then 3 weeks ago when I was on the verge of quitting golf I got a gift certificate from Nevada Bobs for $150.00 and I went to the store to buy a new golf bag and instead walked out with a TM 200 with a S90 steel rifle shaft. This thing is hot! Straight down the center and sweat. Its at least 10 to 15 yards longer than the Firesole and is way straighter. I'm a fairly big hitter. I drive the ball around 290 to 300 with the Firesole and am now 300 to 315 with a much smoother swing with the TM 200. I highly recommed this club to everyone.

I was going to my local sporting goods store to buy some new balls. Little did I know I would walk out of the store with a new game. I tried the 200 Driver in the hitting cage and was immediately impressed with number of solid hits. I have previously used a Taylor Made Firesole Titanium Driver with a graphite shaft. I always struggled with that club and was looking for something to keep me in the fairway. I can consistently with drives from 220 to 250 yards and keep it in the short stuff. I think the combination of the 275 steel and and the 43 1/2" r-80 steel shaft is the reason this club hits so well. My handicap has gone down 7 shots since I put this club in the bag. Maybe you won't see this club in Tiger's or Phil's bag, but for the average golfer this club and no 3 putts will be the fastest way to improve your game.

I have to admit that driving continues to be my biggest problem and my Callaway ERC 2 despite it’s excellent distance can be a little difficult to hit on a consistent basis. After some very good initial success, I began to struggle with my consistency and needed to find a solution. Obviously, it’s not the club, but I’ve had a debate with a few individuals on the merits of Titanium / Graphite and whether the hype is really improves net overall results. Having chatted with a gentleman who saw me hit my old 3 wood Callaway War bird very solidly and then smack a few with the ERC, he knew right away this club didn’t suit my swing style or strengths. He recommended that I use a regular rifle shaft and a steel headed driver mentioning that the TM200 was the neatest little secret in the industry. I went to my local Pro Golf outlet to try it out along with Callaway’s new Steelhead 3 and it was immediately obvious that the TM200 was something special. After some extensive work in the simulator, I was hitting the TM200 within a few yards of my ERC but with much more control and consistency. I found that very odd and thought that the simulator needed some calibration, but then I noticed my swing speed was about 20 mph faster with the shorter TM club. I then realized that despite not trying to swing any harder, I was actually far more comfortable with the TM and literally applied my 3 wood stroke and swing speed. I purchased the club immediately and took it outside where I compared it against the ERC in a real world situation. I noticed a similar flight and distance results recorded in the simulator. In summary: 1) For pure distance, the ERC 2 is definitely the longer club (comparing sweet spot versus sweet spot per each club). 2) For target consistency and accuracy, the TM200 was far more forgiving and accurate. 3) Despite the greater distance, sound and sheer beauty of the ERC, I was having more fun hitting the TM200 since every ball was hit crisply and when properly hit, the distance loss was marginal at best. The ball didn’t fly off the club as hot but the consistency and decent enough distance more than made up for the unwanted drama that the ERC usually conjured up. In summary, the newer technology titanium clubs like the ERC 2 and TM’s300 series offer some great performance characteristics, but simpler steel shafted drivers with good design ch

Have steel shaft, best driver I have hit. Much better control than titanium/graphite and just as good on distance. Confidence is back in my driving and just love the game. Buy this you will not regret it.

Good

I''ve been playing golf for 3 years and been reluctant to use my driver due to control problems. Recently purchased the TM 200 Steel (at a bargain) and it boosted my confidence level. Did not see apparent compromise in distance as described by other reviews. If you don''t want to spend $$$ on titanium, this is the club for you.

I have been playing a either titleist or Ping drivers for the past two years, good distance but persistent control problems. I bought this driver because it was shorter than the others and has a stiff steel Rifle shaft. I have been very pleased with it. My control has greatly increased with only a marginal decrease in distance. For being a steel head it is very large (275cc) and is very forgiving. For the money it was a bargain. My playing partners have told me that I will not be allowed to get rid of this driver. Very good driver at a good price. Taylor Made has a winner here.

I didn''t actually buy this club - I just tested it. I came very close to purchasing this club because it gave me the best control of any driver I have ever hit. The low torque steel rifle shaft is excellent. This club is a bit shorter (44 inches, I believe), which also helps with control and accuracy. I finally decided on the 300Ti driver because I got about 20 yards more distance with a little less control. The ball comes off the face of this driver HOT, and seems to roll a long way after contact with the ground. This is an excellent club, and a very good value. I also tested this same club with a R Flex graphite stock shaft. I didn''t like the graphite shaft near as well as the rifle shaft. If you are looking for more control, and additonal distance is not a big deal to you - check it out. I posted a rating on the 300Ti and gave the same rating. The TM 200 Steel and 300Ti are both excellent products.
