9.5 Driver
The bottom line is this driver is easy to hit and very accurate. I have played four rounds and have hit 90% of fairways. Tungsten insert gets ball airborne quicker and greater than expected from a 9.5 loft. You might consider a lower loft driver than usual as a result. Although you can work the ball both right and left, the design limits sidespin keeping ball in play. The driver is suprisingly easy to hit off the fairway making long par 5's reachable in two. Distance is good, but higher ball flight limits roll after landing limiting the ultimate distance.

Firesole Driver
This club is terrible. It swings like it's 50 inches. Feels like a whiffle bat at impact, and sounds like a wussy little metal bubble. It doesn't stand close to the other drivers out there. Similar Products Used: Every driver imaginable. This one is nearly the worst. |

The Ti Bubble 2 is still the best out so far and the Firesole is bad for one the shaft is more so like the bubble 1 and the bubble 2 is better for the wide ness at the top of the shaft. This club has a good start when you see it for like the first 100 yards but then it either just drops to the ground or it start hooking. for me i am staying with my Ti bubble 2 Similar Products Used: GBB, Steelhead, Orlimar, Intimidator 400, invex, Warbird |

Driver
This driver is a godsend. I am hitting drives much straighter and longer. I used to slice about two drives out of every five. I have used my Firesole for about seven rounds now and have only sliced one ball. Instead of driving about 200 - 230 yards, I am hitting it 230 - 260 yards. The ball leaves the club face like a rocket but it sounds like a cannon going off. Three of my friends have also bought it and they all love it. I can't imagine a better club. The shaft is better than earlier versions and that new tungsten insert makes a huge difference in distance. If you can get a demo version of this club to try out, give it a shot -- you won't believe how good it is. Similar Products Used: None |

Firesole 10.5* driver
I recently traded this club for a Callaway driver, as I didn't feel comfortable making relaxed swings, as I had to with the Callaway, and found this driver much easier to use and work with. I can really pound the ball down the course if need be, or I can pull a decent draw or fade around trouble, which I couldn't do with these other drivers on the market, as the heads are simply too large to effectively work with the swing. The small head takes a bit of getting used to, but iis a lot better for working the ball. The length is average, but it's worth a couple of yards to stop that hideous slice I used to have, as it minimises slicing problems by sending the ball off line by 5*, but preventing it from being pulled out of bounds. The final aspect of this wood is the look: easy alignment, neat colour, and a ten out of ten for impressing friends! Similar Products Used: None |

Excellent club. Practised with it in the nets at the golfshop and it had a very solid feel. Easy to hit. Similar Products Used: None |

One of the worst, over-priced drivers I have ever used. No matter what type of swing,smooth, fast, etc., the club is inconsistent and produces a weak ball flight. Similar Products Used: Zero Tolerance Crown Jewel Callaway Hawkeye TaylorMade Ti Bubble 2 |

Firesole 9.5 R flex
I am not a long ball hitter averaging about 240 to 250. The difference with this club is that I hit the ball much straighter. Also, it hits a lower trajectory than my Hawkeye. Bottom line is that with a straighter shot and more roll I am effectively hitting the ball longer and in play. I avoided testing this club due to the orange color but after the first few hits I got over it in a hurry! Do yourself a favour...test it..don't avoid it. Similar Products Used: Played with the Hawkeye and 975D before the Firesole |

Firesole 9.5
Firesole is better than overpriced Hawkeye driver. It's more forgiving. Smooth swing gets me 240 - 280. I went from 10.5 to 9.5 so I have a little trouble controlling the slice, but it flies low and rolls 50% more than the 10.5s. This is a good high- handicapper club in my opinion. Similar Products Used: I've tried Titleist 975D, Callaway Hawkeye, Biggest Big Bertha, Great Big Bertha, Ping TiSi, and TM Burner Bubble 2. |

10.5-degree driver
I started playing golf 5 months ago after taking a beginner course at my local golf academy. I purchased a set of Callaway BB X-12 irons, however I held back my decision on purchasing a driver because I have not found the most suitable one for myself. I have tested many brands like Callaway GB, Hawkeye and Titleist 975D. I found that some of these drivers require some effort to hit the ball to achieve reasonable distances & keep it straight. Until I tested the Taylor Made Firesole 10.5 degree driver. This driver allows me to hit the ball straight and a long way effortlessly. I am averaging 240 yards & increasing. The club feels great, no matter where the impact occurs on the clubface. I am now able to reduce my scores below 100. My friends are all concerned now!
