I'm (a little) surprised at the mixed reviews because I couldn't be happier with this driver. With a Grafalloy ProLite 35 S-Flex, this club mates very well with my swing (av. 105-110 mph).

The result? Average drives of >270 yds, with very little drama in ball flight (i.e., straight, although occasionally high, trajectory). Longer than my Orlimar, straighter than my Goldwin AVDP, more consistent than the borrowed 975D's.

It's true, you have to make very obvious adjustments to work the ball; it's true, the head _looks_ large (just shy of awkward); it's true, the club is expensive. But for me, of the current "hot" drivers out there (Mizuno T-Zoid, VFT, 975D), it is hands down the most forgiving for its distance potential.

If you're in the market for a "game improvement club" keep the 320 on your short list; with the right shaft, you will not be disappointed. (Unsolicited advice: purchase from a shop that allows you to try the club _outside_ and grab a few shaft flexes. Like any club (but especially with woods), it is important to select the right head/shaft combination for your swing speed and mechanics.)

This product is fantastic. The best way to hit this driver is with a smooth rhythmic swing, which is a must for most golfers. This club is very easy to hit. I usually drive the ball about 280, and sometimes close to 295. The other day I was able to really give it some gusto and nailed it 345 yards. Drove the green on a 340 yard par 4. What a great feeling!! Tried the 975J which was also nice, but definitely not worth the extra money. All clubs aren't for everyone. (and Callaway's pretty much aren't for anyone, ha!!) But seriously though, all clubs aren't for everyone and my best advice is to try everything out there. I've finally found a driver which I'll keep for a very, very, very long time. Keeps me in the fairway even when I don't think I should be there. Incredible forgiveness. I always felt I had to be on top of my game to hit my old Hawkeye, but not with the 320. First time out, hit 13 of 14 fairways with it. Simply incredible!! Now I don't have to rely on my short game to always get it close and scramble. The game is much easier when hitting your second shot from the fairway about 290 off of the tee, and hitting 7/8/9 iron into the greens.

Toe shots produce a very nice draw. Fades are also very easy to hit. The club really wants to go straight, and if you swing within yourself, the club will definitely reward you. If you get too wild, you can definitely slice it, but then who wants to swing wildly in the first place. Also, mishits are still many times great hits and just off of the fairway. Simply a great club.

Keep hit'em straight!!

Here! Here! I too have tried this driver a while and it just didn’t perform. Shots float high like the old callaways and have a very tinny sound and feel. The shaft is also very whippy and weak. so what’s the big deal about these clubs??? Can’t believe that I paid $400 for this piece of junk. I have no idea. had much better success with the Cleveland Quad ti which produces cannon shots.

Never had any success with Taylor Made products and this club, despite all the HYPE that the 320 has received, this club is going back on Ebay. A number of people have told me to try the club but its AWFUL! Conversely, I'm using the VFT (which some despise), but I'm able to produce low, boring shots although I have to work on consistency. Also have had great success w/ the 975D which I may go back to. To use the words from one of the poster below...
Only way to get decent performance is to minimize backswing to about 3/4 and slow way down. Can occasionally get the great distance others talk about but performance is too inconsistent for me. For some reason, this club and my swing are not compatible.
...same goes for me. Must have a slow, methodical swing--which I don't have, and when I try to slow it down, rhythm is off). Don't care for the larger head and longer shaft, either. CANNOT make consistent contact like the VFT or 975. I've never had success with any TM product, and this one is no different!

This is a great club for alot of reasons. First, in my view, it is the most forgiving & user friendly driver on the market. Second, it is very long off the tee. I have added 20 yards to my drives since switching from the War Bird. When I connect dead center, I can now hit the ball 270-275 yds. and I'm only 5'9" 155 lbs. In addition this club blows away the VFT in every way possible. The only drawback however is the price. If you really shop around, you can find it on the net for about $300.00 which is much more reasonable than the msrp of $399.99. The stock shaft is OK (nothing to brag about). All in all I have no regrets and I know I made the right choice. Before you commit to this club make sure you've tried everything else and you will see what I mean. Taylor Made has a real winner here.

Awesome...Played GBB, and Titleist 975d. Both good but Taylor is longer and more forgiving. Use ProForce 65 shaft ! much better than any stock callaway shaft or any shaft that I've used.

Just a great club period.

Have been a huge Callaway fan since the Big Bertha first came onto the scene. I have owned all the best they had (x the BBB) including the VFT and this club is better. I have played the same course for years and have never been able to keep the ball in the fairway with the Callaways because there was no clubhead feel. The Callaway clubs were all too light and no sense of feedback on your swing. With the 320, you know where the head is in your swing and the result is a huge booming, straight drive. I consistently hit the ball 265-285 and occasionally reach the 300 yard distance. I got the 8.5 degree club, because it produced the best high launch angle/low spin rate and flight for me. I swing 115 mph with the driver and got the True Temper EI-70 stiff shaft cut down about an 3/4 of an inch for more control. It does take about three days on the range or on the course to really master this club, but I wouldn't sell it now for five grand if I knew it was the last one left.

This club would benefit almost any level golfer with the right shaft installed.
