Twitter Bargain Basement: Taylormade R580XD
TaylorMade R580XD Men's Driver
The Taylormade R580XD, the predecessor to the R7 Quad in the Taylormade driver line, has still stayed in my bag after several years. Not because I purchased it for the full $500.00 price, or because I am partial to old drivers, but because it still works.
The R580XD features a 440cc clubhead with a 65 gram M.A.S.2 Taylormade shaft. With a low center-of-gravity, the club maximizes forgiveness for off-center hits.
This driver followed the highly succesful R580, featuring a larger head with a greater sweet spot. Also, with weight added to the back of the club, the new model was much more forgiving.
Golf Galaxy is currently selling new Taylormade R580XDs for only $149.99. The R580XD can be bought in 9.5 degrees with a stiff shaft, and 10.5 degrees with a regular flex shaft.
The R580XD is perfect for golfers of all skill levels, but especially those looking for a new driver on a tight budget.
Personally, I love this club. I would definitely recommend it for any golfer on a budget when buying a new driver.
