Taylormade 320 TI
I have just purchased a Taylormade 320 10.5* stiff flex S90 shaft. I have one weekend of play on the books with the club, and feel it must be one of the best buys available for the price. I am a lefty, so I don't have opportunities to try clubs without ordering them. I've always struggled with drivers fading on me, or slicing if I am having a bad day. I am a good player (4.9 hndcp) but never seem to find a drive I can turn over consistantly. I've watched for a TM 320 or 360 in 10.5 stiff flex for a while. I have found the 320 to have a draw bias, hitting some huge towering draws my first session. These looked great, but were not necessarity staying in the fairway. With a little work I am hitting it much straighter, with a nice draw. If I get too agressive I may hit a hook, but hey... it is not slicing. The club is reasonably long with the stiff flex shaft, but not longer than other drivers I have been playing. I did get a chance to demo the newer R540 and R580, and did not care for either. I started with a big slice with each of them, and toned it down to a power fade. If you struggle with a slice or fade with your driver, give this club a try. I would like to try the regular flex shaft to see if I gained distance without losing control, but the current combination is working great. The 320 does not have a tall face at address, and seems smaller than it's actual size. This is a positive to me, since there is not such a shock moving down to fairway woods after hitting a huge driver. Prices are pretty low on these clubs used now, so they are sure worth a try if you are looking for a driver you can turn over.

Started playing more frequently after a long hiatus, so I was still using an old Taylor Made Steel Burner with steel shaft. The difference has been quite dramatic. The club is very forgiving. Off center hits still go fairly far and straight. The only minor complaint is the high trajectory of the ball (mine is 9.5 deg loft w/ grafalloy shaft). |

I bought 10.5 degree with the Taylor Made lite S90 shaft. Overall, this club is a slam dunk: longer and more forgiving than anything I've used. The shaft seems just right for my low 90's swing speed. I tend to hit a low ball, but this club gives me plenty of height. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs help getting the ball up, but I can understand why some high ball hitters are saying this club balloons the ball too much. (Although using less loft with the UST or Grafalloy shaft should lower the trajectory.) I agree with those who say the sound is somewhat hollow, but I'll gladly accept that for the performance it delivers. Unlike some reviewers, I haven't had the benefit of comparing this club to direct competitors. I might be equally thrilled with a Ping TISI or Callaway, but right now I just want to go out and pound more great drives with this stick.

excellent club for a average golfer looking for a large sweet spot without having a watermellon on the end of your club. my miss hits on the toe tind to turn out much better than before. |

i got this as a free upgrade for my defective 200. i like the 200 a lot, but this ones better. the face is only slightly bigger but i get a lot of extra distance. i was a little spooked at first because this new one is a 9.5 and my old one was 10.5. i have a low trajectory already but its working out fine so far. it may be a little harder to keep it straight but only becuase of the loft. my first practice session with it i hit a few low stingers at first but pretty soon i could hit 8-10 balls in a row over the back fence. the sweetspot is huge. you can get these really cheap right now because of the new r500. Customer Service excellent. i had a replacement upgrade in less than 2 weeks through a retailer. Similar Products Used: taylor made 200 (great club). top flight intimidator (piece of crap). |

This review is for people who drive with 3 woods because they have no confidence with their driver. I am here to tell you there is hope. I have tried just about every driver under the sun. No luck with any of them. I stumbled across a 12 deg reg flex used TM 320 on sale. Never seen one with that much loft, so I bought it thinking that the increased loft would mimick my 3 wood, but with more distance, and boy was I right! For the first time in my golfing life, I have confidence in my driver. Long and straight are the norm with this driver. If you are using a 3 wood, try to find a 12 deg, taylor made 320 or 360 (which my buddy bought after trying mine, and he has had similar great results), you will be thrilled with the results. Drive for show, putt for dough is true, but I never knew how fun it is to drive for show!!! This driver is an A++, Home Run, Slam Dunk...

320 w/ 9.5 & UST shaft
Great driver. Tried the 300 Tour and liked it, but prefer a shallower face, so I got the 320. Only used it for 3 rounds, but I've noticed a huge difference in forgiveness over my old driver. I've gained about 10-15 yds. off the tee and on mis-hits, I'm still in the fairway. I went w/ the UST stiff shaft and really like it over the stock TM shaft. Customer Service Not needed.

Taylor Made 320 - 9.5*
After hitting a Ping TiSi driver (8.5*) for a year and liking it, but with too flat a flight path, I bought this club. It's amazing what 1* can do! The reason I didn't go with the Ping was the TM-320 was $100 cheaper...Now, I wonder why ANYONE hits the Ping! This club, when you hit it "sweet", outdistances ANY driver I've hit. Normal drives are 250'--more than enough for me to have confidence in getting to most greens with a mid-iron. Try this club, and I can almost GUARANTEE you won't be disappointed.

Well, I have tried to hit this thing straight for an entire year now. I will agree that when I catch it right, it is the most intoxicating driver I have ever hit. Drives travel consistently greater than 270 yards. However when I miss it, it goes 45 degress right and long into the woods. Now, I usually draw the ball, but with this thing I just can't feel the head and that makes me block it more often than not. Last Friday I drove it right across 2 fairways and put it away for good. Back to my old Burner Bubble. Anybody wanna buy a used one. I got one, CHEAP! |

Taylor Made 320Ti Series Driver (TS-100 shaft)
Bought a Firesole driver (S90 bubble shaft) in the winter, come spring couldn’t hit it at all (duck hooks). Tried one of these clubs (320 with a Lite S-90 shaft) and was still hooking the ball drastically (a little better than the Firesole but still no good.). The guy next to me on the range had pretty much the same club and loved it. Told me to try his. I hit 2 balls and wanted to buy it on the spot. He then told me to look at the shaft (Lite TS-100). BINGO!!!!! Now my drives are about 25-30 yards longer than I used to hit, and confidence is at an all-time peak. Narrow par 4’s pull this out ahead of my 3iron or 3wood. Most of my buddies have tried it and love it too. This head plus the TS-100 shaft is definitely the answer for me. Now I have a nice controlled draw in my ball flight that my buddies love.
