DESCRIPTION

Greater forgiveness and distance are products of its 455 stainless steel Powerframe Technology construction. It allowed us to redistribute weight and optimally place CG to create the higher trajectory sought by most players. A trapezoidal sole pad and CAD optimized internal weight pad technology offer higher structural inertia to maintain velocity on off-center hits. This also creates a crisper, more satisfying sound and contact. Taken together, all of the features of the Powerframe Technology help increase ball speed.

I'd been striking my Steelhead Plus 3-wood exceptionally well, but never could hit the driver. I thought a 2 wood may be a better option. Callaway doesn't make 'The Duece' in a Steelhead Plus model, so I went with the Taylor Made 200 2 Wood. TM makes my favorite club, the Rescue Club and the TM 200 has received rave reviews. I opted for the R-90 steel shaft. I perfer steel over graphite in my woods (the extra weight keeps me from overswinging) and have an R-90 on my Rescue Club. Unfortunately I haven't been able to make peace with the TM 2-wood after 3 trips to the range. I've always hit the ball right to left. When I'm playing well, it's a nice draw, when I swing poorly it's a pull or a snap hook. For whatever reason I couldn't do anything with this club but hit a big old slice. Whenever I'm swinging poorly, I can always always take an 80% and hit every single club in my bag dead straight at about 80% of the regular distance. Even with this drill the TM would slice. I started jacking around with my swing trying to close the clubface before I realized what that would do to my other clubs. Fortunately the Steelhead Plus is still going straight. Lesson learned. I think this is a good club (judging from the other comments), it just didn't work for me.

I had a steelhead plus strong 3 with graphite shaft. I was OK. I got a wild hair and purchased the TM 200 3 wood w/ steel shaft. I have three things to say about it....... BADASS! BADASS! BADASS! I got mine, get yours.

I purchased the Taylor Made 200 Steel 3 Wood and 5 Wood to go along with a new set of Taylor Made 200 Irons. When they are well hit, the ball literally explodes off of the face of these two clubs with a very satisfying "thwack!!" Distrance is great. Off the tee, the 3 wood can roll out to 285 yds, and the 5 wood to about 260. They both play very well off of the fairway, and 5 wood is sweet out of the rough. They are also accurate. Since I started teeing off with them on par 4s, my percentage of fairways hit has gone up from 39% to 60%. They are great looking clubs, too!

Model Reviewed: TM 200 rifle R80

I was at a local driving range after a round just trying to work on a few things when a friend I golf with once a blue moon came by. He started talking about his new TM 200 2 wood rifle shafted club that is a joy to hit. He had asked me if I wanted to hit a few balls with it but seeing it was steel shafted S90, I told him that I can't even get the distance or consistency on a 3 wood. He kept talking about while hitting balls with his (joy to hit club). I must admit, I swing like a girl compared to his swing. Finally I decided to try his club. As it turned out, I was hitting straight rocket shots, I couldn't believe it! The club is the best 3 wood that I ever played with. I usually hit a 5 wood as far as a 3 wood until this club came along. I hit this club almost as far as a driver! Great feel off the face of the club. I'm not a steel shafted guy either but the rifle shaft works great. Fades are very easy, draws for me are easier than what I used to be. Was about 240 away from the flag after my first hit on a par 5, hit a draw just a bit fat but got it there at 220, pitched it on and made birdle. A must have club for anyone looking for a 3 wood. And for the price, its a steel! got it!?

Model Reviewed: TM 200 3 wood

New I'd like it after the first hit. As long as I don't overswing (draw to hook) I am very straight. I wanted a club that had the same shaft as my irons (LCGs) and the reviews here convinced me to give it a try. I am very happy I did. Nice Club. I wasn't in the market for a driver, but...

Customer Service

I sent in a club for a new shaft (I had no choice if I wanted the stock shaft as TM uses proprietary tip sizes). I was angry I HAD TO send it in to them, but they gave me a new club instead of fixing

Model Reviewed: TM 200: #3, #5

A must-buy for new-to-the-game, moderate swing speed, mid to low swing angle, high handicap golfers such as me. I started the game 14 months ago armed with a generic-hand-me-down set and a patient golf instructor. Never shot better than 120! Now armed with basic mechanics it was time to improve my equipment. Instructor and I went to numerous demos and the choice boiled down to Steelhead III's and TM's. A close call but the TM's with S-90 graphite, I found, proved easier for me to handle. Shots are straight and true, feel solid, and am hitting @ 250yds with the #3 and @ 220yds with the #5. Shot 118, 112, and 114 respectively after adding these clubs to the bag. Next stop: a Driver and a set of Irons

This is the best wood I've ever hit with. I went with the steel shaft and this wood feels great on contact and is very smooth. Definetly worth it!

This is the best fairway wood ever that i have hit. It goes far and feels soft. The trajectory is perfect and this club always manages to go far and high enough for me.

Model Reviewed: TM 200 Steel 3 wood

This is a very solid club. Quite forgiving. Better than average distance. Extremely consistent. Workable, but not overly so (which is good for me). I have the Rifle S90 steel shaft and I don't think I'll ever play graphite on fairway woods again. I had a Cleveland Quadpro which was great but harder to be consistent with and less forgiving. Some of the bad reviews on this club I consider off base- pros play it for a reason and it is truley the best fairway wood I've hit.
