I was browsing Overstock.com today and thought this driver would make an excellent birthday present for me at the end of April.

Taylor Made 360XD RH Driver

What do you all think? Decent investment for a newbie like myself who has a $100 SET of Knight clubs?

Does anyone have any experience with Overstock.com? The club may not even be available by the time my birthday rolls around.

I'd pass on it, it's a good driver, but a 360cc head is a little small. If you're still learning take advantage of larger club head sizes for more forgiveness and larger sweetspots. I think you'd be better off with something 400cc +. Take a look at this:

Taylor Made R580 which isn't much more, but will give you a low spin deep face option.

Oh yeah, before you buy retail take a look around ebay, if you buy from a reputable seller you'll never find a better value. Or buy used. You can probably find the XD R580 on ebay for that price.

Hope that helps.

983K - 365 cc.

983E - 350cc That's all I have to say about that.

i bought a 580 XD off ebay last august.brand new for $160 with shipping.a $100 savings from what they had them in Dick`s Sporting Goods for.although i only got to use it about 3 weeks it did give me a more boring ball flight.but i couldnt seem to work it the way i could with my old driver.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
