Very forgiving. Well balanced. Light. | | Weaknesses:
None that I've found so far. | | Overall:
I tried a few drivers out as I wanted something special to muller the ball down the fairway with. Being a 15 handicapper, I also wanted something a bit forgiving. I tried a Titleist 983k, a Cobra 400SZ, and an R540 XD.
I didn't like the titleist from the start. It just didn't "feel" good and I didn't hit good shots with it. The Cobra's were fine, but the R540 XD really stood out. The balance of the club was amazing. I was told that this club was an "upgrade" to the Burner 860 and it turned out to be true.
The pro-shop also gave me an R580 XD to try, but I found that the huge head was a bit too big - somewhat unweildy. The 580 also uses the 65 gram MAS shaft, whereas the 540 uses a lighter 55 gram MAS shaft.
The 12 degree also helps me as it puts less sidespin on the ball, and distance isn't really sacrificed - weekend just gone I hit a drive 390 yards, although it was wind assisted ;)
I would recommend this club to all intermediary players, as it is VERY forgiving. Some swings that felt bad turned out to be straight shots that went 200 yards. Which was nice.
Overall, IT JUST FEELS GOOD. :) |
