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 66 (15 May 26) - Played in Friday men’s shootout - solid round of 81 (39/42) 7 of the 11 pars were up and down 1 putts (29 total).  Short game came to the rescue….
    • Thanks, Matt, for the AI summary.   I found the probability interesting.   It was mentioned that the host talked to a college coach, and no college coaches were knocking down his door trying to recruit him.   He was on the JV team last year, this year being the only time on varsity.
    • I started taking my son with me when he was 2-1/2 but only with my regular group.  I asked before I started taking him if they were ok with it.  Everyone was ok with it and they let him ride with them often. And, they had permission to scold him if he was doing anything wrong.  I think the first time I took him and played with strangers he was almost 4.  By then, he knew golf etiquette and was very well behaved.   If the father of the kid in question here did not take proper measures to control the kid...it is not the kid's fault.  The father should know better.  Being the type of person I am, I would have probably politely said something to the kid myself and if the father was not taking care of any mess he made in bunkers I would have definitely asked "Hey, you going to rake the mess he made? How would you like to land in there and have to play your next shot from there?"
    • Day 591 - 2026-05-15 Worked on things while watching the PGA.
    • One has to wonder what in the world could be going thru her mind standing over the ball and with each one of those take aways and not hitting the ball.  My brain would lock up completely.  If she played with the guys and gals I play with someone would inevitably yell "While we are young" (which we are not) or "just hit the damn thing"
