Description Borrowing from the advanced design of its titanium cousins, the 200 Steel driver combines state-of-the-art Powerframe Technology and face-weld construction to produce the largest (275cc) and fastest C...
Summary: I've been going through large headed drivers like water: HiBore, Cobra L4V, Burner and my well used R5. That said, after a re-grip to a full cord Golf Pride, I returned to my 10.5 Reg shaft 200 steel. Awesome feel, little loss in distance, little dispersion and very workable. I suspect having an additional one on the side (even used) is a better investment. A great club. The 3 and 5 woods are also very solid.

Summary: Had this driver for over 4 yrs. now - I think it's the best driver for the money. Awesome distance, great sound at impact. I consistantly outdrive guys with the latest "BIG" drivers - wish rest of my game was up to snuff.

Summary: I have had this club for as long as I can remember. I would guess now going on 6 or more years. I have a swing speed over 100mph and can toss the ball 280 on a regular basis. Every so often I go out and see if there is something that I can hit better than it. I would spend $300 or more if I could get either straighter drives, or at least another 30 yards. Up to this point, I am going out again soon, I have not found one. What happen with the review?

Summary: I got this to replace my 320 Ti. 30 dollars on ebay brand new. Great driver for the price, if you hit it right it just explodes of the face, just make sure you line yourself up right becuase youll end up hitting it 300 yards right into a tree. I got the r-80 regular flex steel shaft I like it alot. Can't tell you how many times my body was slightly misalligned and i hit a bomb with this thing 300 miles an hour right into a tree. Even my bad shot turn out 190 yard hooks. Your best bet is to send this thing right and draw it back in sounds real nice off the tee too.

Summary: I've been hitting the Taylor 200 series woods for two seasons. I have the driver with a 9.5 loft and the matching 3 and 5 wood. All have the stock Rifle S90 (stiff)steel shaft. Now that I've had two seasons to play with them, here's my review. The clubs are brilliant. Hats off to Taylor Made. Perfect combination of technology and classic style. Thinner faces matched with extra hard steel results in impressive power transfer. The driver head is slightly larger than a persimmion head but not annoyingly bulky. I use to completely dispise larger clubheads but the forgiveness the 200 driver offers is a real helper in this case. Rifle makes an exceptionaly consistant steel shaft and I'm glad Taylor has stuck with them through the years. I used the Taylor R5,stock 45" graphite shaft for a short period prior to the 200 driver. I achieved moderate results with it but really got beat up when I played the tougher courses with narrower fairways and more demand on draws and fades. I switched to the 200 series and saw immediate improvements. This driver fit my game much better. The combination of a steel shaft and the shortened shaft length, 43.5", was getting the job done and was much easier to control. Distance is terrific with these clubs and not much different from anything else out there. Using a comfortable swing speed, I average 250-260 off the tee. Hitting plenty of fairways and playable lies from the rough. I've been focusing more on my iron play and not worrying about the drive. Thats been the biggest relief. Its sad to see the line discontinued, but thats how the market goes. I think Taylor produced this inexpensive club so well that it hindered sales of their more expensive stuff. I'm not into trendy, I just like what works. The R5 was a gift from my wife; new for $299. I've been much happier with my $59 200 Steel driver. All that matters to me is the scorecard at the end of the day.
