Taylormade R5 Dual N
The driver I was using had a smaller face and my drives were inconsistent. My brother came to play a round and he brought his friend's R5 N and I was crushing my drives. They were consistently straight, high, and far!! I had to have that club so I did some searching and found one on Callaway Pre-Owned. I ended up paying $36 with shipping and I cannot wait to play with it tomorrow. Customer Service none Similar Products Used: none |

Taylormade R5 Dual (Draw)
Love it. I had accepted a controlled, predictable existence off the tee with my 205 yard baby fade I was getting from my Cobra S3. Then I was having a bad round, decided to swing it with everything I had regardless of the danger, and the S3 shaft broke in half on the transition.

TAYLORMADE R5 DUAL TYPE D 10.5°
I just switched from a Taylormade R360 XD that i had for about 6 years and WOW what a difference. I bought the club for $60 off Ebay and it was the best $60 I have spent on golf. I have never had the ball come off the tee so fast. I had a vicious slice that i've been trying to correct for years and with a few pointers I bought this club and switched my grip a bit and now i'm crushing it straight and 30+ yards further than i use to drive. Would definately recomend giving this club a try. |

R5 / TM 580
I have been hitting a Taylor 580 for the past year. I developed hook and couldn't shake it. Had the chance to buy a used R5D and fiqured at least it would give me a different feel for awhile. Now my problem is I love both clubs. The R5 is very forgiving. Only thing I don't like is the Ting sound when striking the ball. Customer Service No issues with service as of yet Similar Products Used: See review summary TM 580 vs R5D |

R5 Dual
My wife bought this driver brand new about three years ago. She is about 5' 2" and weighs about 120 lbs. She cracked the face of this driver and TaylorMade won't do anything for her. Now that's poor service. Customer Service TaylorMade should be more willing to stand behind their product. |

R 580
I have been hitting fairways my whole life. I bought one used for my son. He never got it. I hit longer and straighter than i ever did before. It gets the ball up so fast and I have a 9.5. I'm thinking a 10.5 might be too high a loft. |

Taylor Made r5 Dual Type N
I have played them all and I mean ALL. I developed a nasty hook this summer and went out on a mission to find a driver under 100 US dollars that was not closed at address and would still put it out there with some roll just to regain confidence. Found this club used for 79US with r5 stock stiff shaft 10.5 degrees loft. Still had slight draw, not nasty hook but took entire left side of fairway out of play (I am a lefty). When striped, went 260ish. I was very pleased because I was in fairway and at least had a look at the green. Accidentally snapped the shaft putting clubs back in trunk. Took the Superfast TM/Reax 50 gram stiff out of the overrated Burner i bought last year and put it on this clubhead and WOW! what a combo. At 46", the shaft/clubhead are like magic. Ball flight is now penetrating with a slight draw but tons of rolls and automatic. I am only 5'9". The shaft has made all the difference in the world. I guess what I am getting to is if you can find one of these and are having problems with a hook, get the r5 and find the right shaft. Best thing about the r5, it's not obnoxious looking, sounds great when sweet spotted, and costs less than 100 bucks. I would take this over the Sasquatch, the Tour Burner's, the FT-5's, The bang-o-matic, the G10's, The Rapture's, The Hi-Bore's, The 90whatever the overpriced Titleist is called now, and the Cobra's any day of the week.
Customer Service Didn't try to blame TM. It was my own fault. Took to Edwin Watts and they switched out shaft for me. Similar Products Used: Pretty much all of them! Might have missed one or two, but this has to be best value out there. No BS screws to mess with, most overhype of all time!! R7 is a joke. |

Taylormade R5 Dual N 9.5 Aldila NV S
This is my review for a 9.5 degree R5 Dual Neutral with the green Aldila NV Stiff shaft in 46" length. I have had a chance to try out this club for at least 7 rounds before I made a decision to keep it or not.
Customer Service I called Taylormade to confirm the serial number on this club when I bought it on ebay. The phone rep was very nice and the entire call only took about 1 minute! Similar Products Used: 8.5* Callaway Great Big Bertha Driver w/ Grafalloy Prolite Stiff 45"

what a club. By far the nicest driver i have ever seen. Really light. makes me hit the ball 20 yards further than my old taylor made xr05 driver and straighter. easy to hit but need a big tee to get it air born. great club. worth buying. It's the best taylor made driver of the lot! even better than the new burner |
