320ti
taylormade 320ti 9.5deg s90 is such a great golf club, If you pick this club up and dont have instant success you must be doing something wrong. Right from the very first swing i felt that i had more control than any other club i tryed, miss hits would travel 230 meters but when i got a hold of one average was about 280 meters.

9* 320 Ti w/ Graffalloy ProLite S
Got this as DEMO club up for sale from ProGolf Barrie, the guys their are AWESOME. I used to think "brand name" clubs are just expensive clubs...do they make a difference? vs. my old Spalding Alliance stainless steel driver? Boy did it ever. At the beginning of the season I had to tee the ball up pretty high in order to familiarize myself with the huge Ti head on this club...drove the ball +250 yds off the tee..unfortunately the ball was getting too much "air time." My Spalding steel driver only avaraged 235-250 yds with a good swing. Currently, I am in the process of lowering the tee "just a wee bit" for a more mid-high trajectory and drive of 265-270 yds avg. I am glad I made the investment in this club. Regardless that it was a DEMO floor model the club is still worth it. Even though the TM 320 Ti is an "older model" versus the new R5s you still get the same benefits...OH YEAH !! WORD TO THE WISE, make sure you get a good shaft for your club (get fitted & reshafted if need be, it'll make a difference in +20 yds)...I just happened to get one by luck.

320 Ti 9.5* with Grafalloy Pro Lite Stiff shaft
Wow. After hitting a Supersteel 250 for 2 years, I started ballooning it and losing distance. I decided to demo one of these, and in my second round I hit a 350 yard drive! (Usually average around 290-300). I used to average around 275 with the Supersteel, and that was hitting it absolutely solid. I can miss the sweet spot and still get decent distance. It's really important to try different shafts though. I hit the 9.5 with the Tour 90 shaft, and it felt kind of weak. After I got hold of a model with the ProLite in it, I knew that I had found the club for me. They can be found for so cheap now, it's nearly impossible to pass one up Customer Service With the Supersteel I snapped 2 shafts, and one of them took 1 week or so, the other was more than 2. The one that took a week had the wrong shaft and the head was closed and onset. Similar Products Used: Supersteel 250 Callaway C4 Nike (Piece of !@#@#$%) 975J, 975D Ping TiSi, TiSi Tec Lots more |

R320TI 9.5 Deg,Tour S flex
I wrote praises for the Callaway Hawkeye not too long ago. NOW it's the TM320ti.Always wanted a new tech club with COR etc, had no problem with the Hawkeye. Read reviews here and RankMark abt this TM 320ti, tried it on the course and it flew! Went and bought it! It is Awesome! Longest drive in just one round so far is 290+ yards. The rest avgs 250yds.Shaft is Mitisubishi Rayon Tour Stiff, 45 inch, torque 2.9 SW D2.My only complain is that it has a high ball flight.I am looking forward to testing the new R500 series- R540 Stiff.

taylormade 320 ti 9.5
The decider for me was Ping and TM. The ping was used, for 200 bucks. Honestly I can't hit the ping as far as the TM. On average I hit about 7 yards further. The Ping looks weak, the hosel is plastic, it is about the same club volume, but looks more overwhelming than the 320 at adress. You never know how used customizable pings are tweak. I didn't like the sound and feel of ping. It's not bad, just different, and I dont like it. I just like the TM more than ping. Straighter a bit longer, better look, sound and feel.

Taylor Made 320 ti 9.5 Degrees
I recently owned a Taylor Made 250 SuperSteel Burner, 9.5 Degrees loft with a Grafalloy Prolite Elite X-flex shaft until the face of the clubhead fractured. I was playing very well with it up until then, and absolutely adored this club. When the mishap occurred, I thought I was up sh.. creek without a paddle. What was I going to do? This was my baby...security blanket so to speak. Thank god the folks at TM honoured the warranty and sent me a Taylor Made 200 Steel. I previously demoed the club, really liked it, and actually thought that this would be my new club until I had an idea. The club retailed for $279 CDN. Chuck Brown's had the Taylor Made 320 Ti demos for sale at $299 CDN. So I decided to pay the $20 difference and make an upgrade. The 9.5 Degree 320 Ti I picked up was in excellent condition. Now, the true test...hitting a basket of balls on the range. After a half dozen balls, the adjustment period was over. I had found my groove. The club was every bit as accurate as my SuperSteel Burner and I've gained approximately 20 yards more carry distance from 255 to 275 yds. The feel of the ball coming off the clubface was just wonderful. The following day, I played a round and hit 8 of 8 fairways with this club. Wow, look out...a new club in the arsenal. Now I can't wait to put my Grafalloy shaft into this clubhead. Customer Service Honours their warranty without any hassles.

320Ti
I just purchased the 320Ti with a Fujikara shaft and it is, by far, the finest driver I've ever owned. Distance is unequaled by Calloway, and is much more forgiving. I generally average around 260 yards with my old driver, however with this club I've increased this about 15 yards to 275, and will most likely be longer when I "dial in" the consistency factor. This is the best driver Taylor Made has come up with. My only regret is, based on the 300 series, the new R500 series drivers will be even better...and I'll have to wait awhile before I get one of those!!!

This driver is it. Distance, feel, looks, options, its all there. I play a 320 with a ProLite Stiff, which makes the best combo for me. I played two days ago at a tournament, and my very first drive of the day receieved many "ohhhh....mans(s)" And "Nice Drive(s)!" This club had a nice feel to it, which even allows you to go deep even with an off-center strike. I don't complain from it, but some people who want to hit it once or twice say that the club head is massive. It is no wider than the Nike or other driver models. As for saying the lub causes the slice, that is more than likely incorrect....I've increased my driving average from 250 to 265.... 15 yds! My longest in play has registered at 276 yds. Swallow your pride and get the right shaft and flex options for you. You will never regret a second of it. I didn't, I even bought the fairway woods (3,5) 3 weeks later! I love it!

320 Ti
I have tried many drivers with many different shaft combinations and I have finally found the perfect match for me. I typically have a rather low ball flight. I also always play either a 8.5-9.5 lofted driver with either an stiff or an X-shaft. I was playing the 360 with good success but I noticed I was not getting the ball out there as far as I once did. (about 275) I was hitting the 360 about 255 or so. I noticed on the 360 that I kept hitting the ball on the middle to bottom side of the face. So when I looked around I noticed that the 320 was about 1/4" or so shorter in depth. (top to bottom) After comparing shafts, etc. I decided to go up to an 10.5* loft and play the stock shaft but have it cut to a 44" shaft. (X-flex) Let me tell you it was the best thing I have ever done. My trajectory is much better and I am carrying the ball about 265-75 again. The 320 is very forgiving off on non-center hits as well. My only complaint is that even when you nail the ball right on the screws it is sometimes hard to tell if you hit it well or not. Very nice driver overall. I would suggest checking out all the shaft options, we all do not swing alike, so check your ego at the door and go what works for you. Customer Service Good. Gave me many ideas for correct shafts, etc. Similar Products Used: TM 360, Cleveland Launcher, Titleist 975J, Nike, etc. |
