IT'S O.K, NOT AS GOOD AS THE THE PING TiSi OR THE TITLEIST 975d STILL A GOOD DRIVER, BUT NOT WORTH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IT IS, AND IN THE LONG RUN WON'T KEEP IT'S VALUE ASWELL AS THE PING OR TITLEIST. DON'T BUY THIS CLUB UNTIL YOU'VE TRIED THE ABOVE MENTIONED CLUBS BOTH ARE BETTER QUALITY AND VALUE FOR MONEY THAN THIS LATEST EFFORT FROM TAYLOR MADE WHICH FRANKLY DOESN'T LIVE UP TO EXPECTATIONS.

After reading other posters, I decided that the 320 S90 9.5* was for me.
It is so easy to swing and the drives are straight. I cannot claim long distances as the ground at present in the UK is extreemly WET.
This driver is all that you (the posters)claim it to be.This is my firstTM purchase having been a big fan of the 975D. No regrets. The Fujikura shaft is EXCELLENT !!

I tried lots of drivers, the club it was replacing was a yonex adx100 graphite driver. This club by far was the most consistant, easy to hit club that i have purchased. You have to swing smooth at it or it can get a little crazy.. but the most important thing is that i got 30 to 50 yards on my drives.. it is not uncommon to hit 340 yard drives with this club. at least that is my experence with it.....

WHAT A FANTASTIC DRIVER. IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE KEEPING THIS DRIVER STRAIGHT YOU ARE SWINGING IT WAY TO FAST. I USED TO USE A TITLEIST 975D AND YOU HAD TO SWING THIS CLUB VERY HARD TO GET THE RIGHT RESULTS, BUT THE TAYLOR MADE YOU HAVE TO SWING IT NICE AND EASY AND LET THE CLUB DO THE WORK AND BELIEVE ME IT WILL.
IF YOU NOTICE ALL THE PRO PLAYERS THAT ARE SWITCHING TO THIS CLUB HAVE SLOWED THRE DRIVER SWING SPEED DOWN BECAUSE OF THIS REASON. I THINK THIS IS AN EXCELLENT CLUB FOR LOW AND HIGH HANDICAPERS BECAUSE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CONCENTRATE ON A NICE SMOOTH SWING AND THE CLUB IS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF DOING THE REST. THIS DRIVER IS CERTAINLY SETTING NEW STANDARDS

In the pro shop at a local municipal course today, I was looking very hard at the Taylor Made 300 series drivers that I have heard so many good things about, as I had every day in the last three months since they got these drivers. It turns out that the pro had a few demo clubs, so he let me take the 320 9.5* out to play with.
On the first tee, I hit my Titleist 8.5* about 255 yards with a slight draw down the center of the fairway. I figured this would set a benchmark for the Taylor Made 320Ti. On the first swing, I teed the ball as high as I would for my Titleist and hit a disgusting pop-up shot about 160 yards into the water. I hit another one, teeing the ball fairly low, which resulted in a high, sweeping hook about 260 yards into another fairway on the left. This pattern continued for 5 holes, with me hitting my Titleist 250-275 and then following it up with a long pull just off the fairway with the Taylor Made 320Ti. The 6th tee is right by the clubhouse, so I decided to swap the 320Ti 9.5* for the 300Ti 8.5*.

With the 300Ti, results were much better, but still not up to par with my Titleist. A minor note: the Titleist head is supposedly 260cc, but at address it looks considerably bigger than the claimed 300cc's of the Taylor Made. Anyway, I hit the 300Ti on 9 of the remaining 13 holes along with my Titleist (for some reason, there was not another soul on the golf course, which allowed me to really test the 975D 8.5* and the 300Ti 8.5* head to head on each tee).
The verdict: if you put the Taylor Made on a robot, it will probably have an edge over the Titleist of about 5 yards, but in the hands of a real golfer, the Titleist is a longer, more consistent driver. The reason for this, I think, is that a real player releases the clubhead coming into the ball to get a distance boost. The Titleist allows this hand action (producing a slight draw), while the Taylor Made snaps shut quickly (producing a long pull or hook). Therefore, the Titleist hits farther and straighter than the Taylor Made because it allows you to swing the club more aggressively without fear of an uncontrollable shot. When I did hit the Taylor Made without a snap hook (which was about evary three or four shots), it flew with a higher ball flight about the same distance as my Titleist.

In summary: Today, with the limits on technology that the USGA has imposed, you can only take yardage-boosting drivers so far. On a robot, the Taylor Made is probably 5 yards longer than the Titleist, which I suspect is just because of the Fujikura shaft on the Taylor Made and the weak Titleist stock shaft on the 975D. But on the golf course, if you put any hand action into the swing with the Taylor Made, it results in a hook, while you can hit the Titleist without much in the way of restraint with confidence the ball will finish in the fairway. If you swing the clubs to put the ball in the fairway, you compromise so much power to hit the Taylor Made straight that it winds up 15 yards behind the Titleist 975D.
Of course you can expect a yardage boost when you go from persimmon woods to metal woods, from steel to graphite shafts, but when you go from one graphite-shafted titanium club to another, the differences are too small to really make any difference. One last thought: on the 17th hole, a 312 yard par four, I hit the exact brand of golf ball as well as I could with each club, and found the shot with the Titleist 975D on the green but about 30 feet short of the hole. The Taylor Made ball I found two feet closer to the hole than the with the Titleist. Before plunking down $400 for this driver, I thought: Is that two feet really worth $400?

I spent about 90 minutes trying every permutation of the 360 vs. 320, 10.5 vs. 9.5, R-80 vs. S-90 Shaft. I have a frequent modest fade with my current "fade control" Adams SC; there about half the time. I expected the 360 would be the best, since it is draw enhancing. I also thought I would want the 10.5 vs. the 9.5, since other 9 degree drivers I have tried have given me a very low trajectory. I was very surprised to discover that I could hit the 320 straighter AND longer than the supposedly more forgiving 360, regardless of flex or loft. I ended up with a 9.5 loft, S-90 shaft as the clear winner. It was NOT what I was expecting, and NOT what the Taylormade pre-fitting online questionaire had predicted. I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE CONSIDERING PLUNKING DOWN THIS KIND OF CASH FOR A CLUB TO TRY THEM OUT ON AN ACTUAL DRIVING RANGE; THERE IS NO WAY TO SEE THE BALL FLIGHT ON AN IN-STORE NET.
This club was at least 10-20 yards longer than my Adams SC and more consistently straight than any of the other clubs I've tried. It was as long as the ERC II 10 degree, with a similar trajectory. The feel is exceptionally solid, and even less than great shots get reasonable distance. I am not a long hitter, but several of my drives went to the back fence at the driving range (about 280-290 yards). I expect to average in the mid-200's, instead of the low-200's.
The club is pricey, but I feel it is worth it.

As my handicap has come down from 17 to 11 I thought it about time to treat myself to a new driver. Had tried the 300 series at a demo day and liked them so I took the plunge and forked out the £330 pounds for the 320 with the s-90 shaft. What a club this is. I can now easily reach the end of the driving range (about 280 yards) with 3 out of 5 shots. As has been said elswhere even off centre hits go well and are no-where near as bad as before. An expensive bit of equipment but if you're serious about improving your long game it's a worthy investment.
