Taylor Made Firesole 9.5 S-90
Just luv it, I'm only 15 years old and can bomb the bomb between 240-275 yards. the sound is kinda like a steel driver but as long as the ball goes straight and far. Similar Products Used: Ping TiSi, Titleist 975D, Callaway Supersteel, and Purespin Driver |

Firesole 9.5 offset driver
This club is working great for me. It is the only driver I have tried that I have been able to hit straight. The offset will not fix a truly bad setup or swing, but if you have a strong fade with the longer clubs (3 wood and driver) that you just cannot get rid of, then this may be the answer for you. To me, the sound and feel is good, unless you hit it with an open face, then you get immediate feedback. The head is just slightly oversize - gives me confidence but not so large that it feels awkward. Similar Products Used: TaylorMade 300 series |

Firesole Driver 8.5 TS-100 shaft
While I am one of the few who accually love the look of this club, I never have been able to make it work. I wanted to love this club. Unfortunately I have not been able to make it work for me. I have a high swing speed, but keep watching my lighter swinging playing partners blow 10 yds by me. The club is quite forgiving, you'll deffinately find the fairway with this club. One strange qwirk to this model is the dead feel, even on perfect shots the feel is kinda "ho-hum". I am truly sorry I traded my Ti Bubble 2 in for this club as that club, although not as forgiving, had a better feel and better distance. I have since bought a Callaway Supersteel, its longer, more forgiving, and better feeling than either of my Taylor Made drivers. Similar Products Used: Taylor Made Ti Bubble 2 |

Firesole 9.5 Offset Driver
I'm a senior golfer and have been a TaylorMade metalwood fan since they made their first driver. I normally hit a high fade about 225 yards off the tee, but with my Ti Bubble 2, my drives turned into a monster slice, so I went to a Firesole Offset. My slice disappeared and distance improved, but I lost a lot of control. I found out that any swing with too much right hand or coming over the top got me in big trouble to the left and shaping the ball to the right was impossible. So my suggestion is to think twice about using the offset, but stay with TaylorMade. Similar Products Used: King Cobra, Big Bertha |

Firesole 3 wood
Bought a Taylor Made Firesole 3 wood and was very dissapointed. When I tried it in the store it was great, but when I got on the course it was really bad. Used it for 6 months and all of the shots with it died and fell to the ground at 235 yards. The noise was not only annoying, but gave a bad feel on every shot. Didn't give good trajectory and maintained that "dead" feel all the time. I had to make sure it wasn't me so I had over a dozen of my golf friends hit it, some pros and low handicappers, and they all hated it. Sold it on EBAY and found new love in the Titleist 975F 14.5. I don't recommend any Firesole to anyone (I've hit all of them 1 through 7 wood). Better off with a Callway Steelhead or Titleist 975F.

Taylor Made Firsole Driver 9.5, R90
This is a great piece of equipment. Before I bought this club, I was unable to hit a driver. I've played 3 or 4 rounds with it and I'm amazed how well I'm hitting it. I'm not a big guy, yet I'm starting to hit my driver 250 yards with some consistencey. Give it a try. If you like it, shop around. Most places retail the club for $300. You can get it for $250 on thr web. Similar Products Used: None |

Firesole 3 Wood
Great distance. I hit my Taylor Made burner 3 wood 220. The Firesole goes 240 or more. The complaint I have is it has too shallow a face. This makes it very unforgiving on thin hits. I had not cold-topped a shot in years with a wood, but I have hit many with the Firesole. It is also too light. You can't get much feel when you are swinging a feather. I'll give back ten yards for a slightly heavier club. I have gotten used to the club now, but I would not buy this club again. I have a Liquid Metal driver which is a much better designed club. If Liquid Metal comes out with a 3 wood, I will be very interested. Similar Products Used: Taylor Made burner 3 wood, Before that Hogan woods (made from trees) |

TM Firesole Driver 12 degree
This club really helped my game. Virtually eliminated any slice. Some loss of distance with the higher loft- 210-230 yards on good hits- but the straight flight is worth it for me. Has made my drive the strongest-and most confident -part of my game. Does make a funky clunk-type sound but what the heck. Similar Products Used: None |
