t/m 320 S90
The T/M 320 is a great club,with nice balance! I've been hitting a re-shafted 9.5 975D forever! (1997). But with all the new technology out there I decided to "LONG" demo some of the new stuff. I started with the Callaways, The VFT was hossible, and, while the ERC II was long, it just didn't compare in feel and comfort to my "trusty 975d"! Next I demo'd the beautiful Mizuno tour 9*with a tour stiff shaft, and right away knew it was too much club for me! Then, after reading some low handicappers reviews here and seeing how MANY touring PROS were hitting this club on TV I decided to give the 300 a try. The first 9 out of 10 hits with this club went dead straight but no longer than my 975 and it didnt really look that much different as to peak my interest for $400 dollars!! So I passed. About a month later I was at a local course that will let you "PLAY" demo the T/M's, so I grabbed a 320- s90 and was off. I was swinging well that day and started with my 975D and was doing fine. As the round progressed I decided it was time to try this oversized looking thing and am I glad I did!! BANG, dead straight, maybe alittle longer (but not 40 yards as others claim!) and felt great. On the 18th I decided to tee it high and really let it fly and Wow!!. I didn't totally trust what I had seen and felt, as we all know, we've been fooled before( hit it great the first time, ready to sell it a month later!!) so I held off and demo'd the 320 2 more times before I was totally sold. I now own one and it gets longer and straighter every time I hit it. It was very hard putting my 975D down, but every time I hit a long and straight drive with my new 320 I regret it alittle less!!

Have had the 320 R80 9.5 for about one month now and do love the extra distance. I am having the "balloon" effect though and would like to get the trajectory lower. I also seem to fade it too much. Has anyone out there solved the baloon problem? Email me and let me know. It's amazing to get extra distance with such a high trjectory. Similar Products Used: VFT, TM360, TM300 |

I HAVE ONE TWO WEEKS AND FIND THAT I CAN KEEP THE BALL VERY STRAIGHT. DISTANCE IS SO SO AS THERE SEEMS TO BE A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HITTING ON THE MIDDLE OF THE SWEET SPOT AND JUST MISSING BUT STILL CONNECTING WELL. Similar Products Used: LAST CLUB TAYLOR MADE TI BUBBLE2 7.5 T/F S90. |

A few weeks ago I tried the TaylorMade 320Ti Driver and could not believe how easily this club sent the ball out there, long and powerfull flight. I decided there and then that I was going to buy one at the end of the month. Similar Products Used: Callaway ERC, Titleist 975D, TM360Ti |

Taylor Made 320I
This is a Taylor Made Review. I'm an 8 handicap and for the last several years I have been a Callaway man. Greatest Big Bertha, Hawkeye and back to the GGB. When the VFT came out, I went right out and bought an 8 degree and took it on the course. It didn't take long to see that the trajectory of VFT was not the same as the others and traded it for a nine degree. I soon found that it didn't make a difference, if you didn't hit it on the screws, it didn't go anywhere but sideways and short. Came to the conclusion that you have to be near scratch to play this club, if that. Still devoted to Callaway I took the VFT, GGB and Hawkeye to the range. The GGB was the best of all. But what to do with my VFT? Then I went into the shop and started looking at the Tit 975D and the Taylor Mades. Then I demo'd all four of them. I felt the 975 was also for the close to scratch golfer. I then hit the Taylors. The 300 is forgiving but also for guys who are close to the sweet spot all the time. One look at the huge 360 kind of turned my off and I only hit it three times before returning it to the shop. Then came the 320. I couldn't set it down. This driver was the sweetest thing I have ever hit. I then rotated it with GGB, Hawkeye, 300 and the 975. It out performed them all. Guys, I never thought I would cross over the Callaway line but I have. I went to Dunn, returned my VFT and the guy behind the counter laughed when he told me that I wasn't alone. Hitting them into the net at Dunn, I tried the Taylor 320 9.5 with the Grafaloy pro stiff and another 9.5 with the Taylor 90s. I chose the Graf. I haven't had the chance to play with this club yet, though after three straight days at the range, I can't believe this club. A driver you can actually set on the ground and it won't automatically close the face. Order a fade and you shall recieve, a draw? No problem. Straight and long, consistant.

I used to have the old Warbird driver and driving was my big weakness. Every shot I hit was a block and I struggled to reach 200 yards! This is bad even for the 13 year old that I am. I then saw this club in a store and just had to try one. Despite the fairly large head size I thought it sat very well behind the ball.I tried all three head sizes and several differant shafts and lofts. In the end I settled fo a 10.5 degree loft and regular flex shaft. Despite the fairly high loft the club sends the ball off on a flat trajectory. I have gained about 40 yards on my old Warbird and about 20 on a Titleist titanium driver that I have trialed. Plus I hardly miss a fairway! This club is the reason I now shoot in the 70s on a par 72 course that has held the Ryder Cup! I would recomend anyone to try this club. Similar Products Used: Titleist titanium |

I really wanted to love my Ping TiSi driver...but could never hit it consistantly. Most shots flew high right. A very common comment from many Ping users. Tried the new TM320 and loved it. About as long as the Ping, but consistantly straight with a slight fade (my usual). Then tried the TM360...all I can say is "WOW"!!! 10-15 yards longer than the 320 and I'm getting nice draws instead of fades. I'm not a power hitter, normal drives go 240-250. The TM360 is giving me 260-275 easy. No, I'm not gonna brag about 300+ yard performance, but this club is the real deal. Sorry Ping! Similar Products Used: Ping TiSi, Hawkeye, Cleveland Ti |

I own and love the big Ping Ti with an RUD stiff setup 10 degree. I was given the chance to hit the Taylormade 360 S-90, 10.5 degree. WOW!! 10 to 15 yards farther than the Ping. Easier to control and changed my fade to a draw. It hits the ball high...but LOOOOOONG. The Ping was a high ball club too, though. I hate to move on from my Ping, but the 360 is simply a better club.
