I bought this driver on a lark on ebay just after I dropped the Nike for the G5. Thought I was just going to keep this in the trunk to stop in on any range I came by but after I used it I was cracking up at how much fun it was to hit. yes, I could make the G5 go further but it was not nearly as consitant as the 540. The weight of the head and the size all seem to be a perfect combination. The G5 seems to be like pushing a kite through the air compaired to the 540. I also have a 425 that feels like i am pushing it through the air compaired to the 540. May be about 10 or 15 yards shorter but damn if it does not go straight down the pipe when I hit it right and it is a very solid driver, sound, weight all of it. just a really good driver.

Bought this club used for an amazing low price.I wanted to find more distance from the fairway.Wow did I.This club requires very little grass to get the ball up and screaming down there to the green on those hard to reach par 5's.I have so much confidence in this club,that I rarely take out my 3 wood.This club is in my bag for good.

I LOVE this club. I was hitting a Vulcan driver, pretty cheap but a nice club, but i decided to make the switch and get a little nicer club. It has the perfect balence of weight. It is a little heavy but after you get used to it makes a big difference. I usually hit it about 250 but every once in a while I'll really get a hold of and hit it about 260-265. I highly recommend this driver!

this a really great driver. before i couldn't hit a graphite shafted drivers without slicing it every tme. but when i purchased this club, i could't slice it. it hits very straight and it is very consistent and also very forgiving. it does have a lot loft on the shot, but still a good club.

I was convinced that my old Bubble Burner driver was all the club that I needed to shoot a decent round, until I bought a RC540XD. The model I got is 9.5 S-flex with a mid-torque shaft and it is awesome. I'm hitting the ball more consistenly around the center of the face. Although I'm not getting more yardage than my old clubs, I'm getting more consistent drives and hitting more fairways. As I get used to the club, I'm sure the yardage will come in.
Best club I got for the money. The head is just about the size that I'm comfortable with and it is well balanced.
I think I'm satisfied for another 5 years...

I bought this club slightly used at a golf expo. I have the 9.5 degree model.
I was never able to hit a driver consistantly. The first time I took this club to the range I was amazed at the distance and accuracy I had gained. I hit consistantly around 240 and down the middle. This is the single biggest improvement in my game. Love the club !

it is a very consistent club but since my last club a taylor made r580xd i have lost quite a bit of yardage but it is much more consistent very good club

I love this thing. Bought it barely used for $90 CDN at my local range. First driver I've bought and I'm in my second season of golf and I'm launchin' it on average 260 yds. Longest I've hit is about 280 yds. If you got a decent swing I'd suggest tryin this out. Good proof you don't need a fat 460cc to launch it.

I tried a TM 580 and a Callaway ERC II. The TM 580 was forgiving, but harder to square than the 540. So far the drives are long and straight. The Callaway ERC II was not long or forgiving for me anyway. I like the smaller head on the 540.

I reviewed this club a year or two ago after playing half a round with a demo. I loved it, but ended up buying the slightly larger r580. I was intitially very impressed by the r580, but after a while I found I was fading it quite alot.

I found a great deal on an R540 on ebay (these are super cheap nowadays) and decided to make the switch. What a club. I find the smaller head easier to square, and the slightly shorter, soft tip shaft helps alot too.

I am hitting it further and alot straighter than my 580. I am very confident on the tee with this that I am going to nail it down the middle.

Maybe less forgiving than the 580, but at 350cc it's still plenty of club. I'm in no hurry to buy a 460cc. I find this easier to control and it still goes like a rocket. Great feel and weight too.

I love this driver, even if it is kinda 'old school' these days!
