i've heard nothing but good things about it although I have never had the chance to hit with one.. i Almost bought one last week before I got a better deal on a PING G5. They are selling for really good prices right now.

here's a couple user reviews from another site.. http://www.golfrewind.com/driver-rev...er-review.html good luck!

I owned a 580XD with a stiff stock shaft. Traded it in for my Burner... After 3 months I'm still hitting it straighter with the Burner than I ever did with the 580XD (no, I did not get the Draw model).

The 580XD is a classic club...many consider it one of the best drivers TM ever made.

It is still my 'gamer' (alternates with a Titleist 983K, another classic), and the 580XD is plenty forgiving. I have the stock shaft, is fine for my game.

You can't beat the price, lots of people stillplay this driver, it was a huge seller and still is sold quite a bit, I'll bet.

Driver: Titleist 905T 11.5*

Hybrids: Cleveland HALO Hybrids 19*, 22*

Irons Snake Eyes Python O/S irons (I carry 5,7,9,A irons)

Putter: Odyssey Dual Force 2 Rossie or Tommy Armour EFT Series Model 6

I had a 580XD before I bought the R7. I wish I would have never sold it. I originally had a Mitsubishi Rayon shaft in it. I reshafted it to a UST Proforce 65 and was blasting the ball about 20 yards longer. The first time I used it I hit 13 fairways. I only bought the R7 because they had a deal where you bought an R7 and you would get a free hybrid at whatever loft you wanted. I wish I had it back.

What's in my bag
Driver: Taylor Made R7 425 9.5 degrees UST Proforce 65 shaft
3 Wood: Taylor Made V Steel 15 degrees
Taylor Made Rescue Dual 22 degrees (UST IROD shaft)
Irons: Mizuno MP-67 (bent 1 degree upright)Gap Wedge: Mizuno R Series Black Nickle 52 Sand Wedge: Mizuno R Series Black Nickle...

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
