Summary: VERY MEDIOCRE CLUB, MIGHT BE OKAY FOR BEGINNER BUT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT FOR EXPERIENCED GOLFER. SPOKE TO THE GOLF SHOP PRO AND HE AGREED WITH ME. THERE ARE BETTER CLUBS OUT THERE FOR THE MONEY.
Summary: Bought this driver at "Play it Again Sports" for $30.00. Have played two rounds so far it has worked real well. It has a very dull sound so goes much better than it seems when you hit it. Hit the fairway ten of twelve holes I used it today, very good for me. Seem to work great if you just meet the ball and not try to kill it. Read some of the reviews in here and it played better today than the first round I played with it. The last driver I used had a stiff shaft and I could not hit consistantly with it, this has regular shaft seems much better.
Summary: Bought this club last year. Was using a cheap sporting goods store model prior to this one. Main reason I bought it was the price (bought at golf galaxy for $90 USD) . Has a very large face that is quite forgiving to off center hits. Have definately noticed good distance even when I havent hit it perfect. I know that there have been advancements in technology since this one came out a few years ago but I feel that a golfer at any level could benefit from this club. For the price that it has been lowered to at many stores, I dont believe that there is a much better value out there.

Summary: I am in my third year of golfing and had been playing cheap generic clubs. I was unhappy with the driver and decided to try a better club. When a saw the r580 xd for sale at a local sporting goods store, I went for it. It has a stock shaft with a regular flex and 10.5 loft. It is a great club, and added at least 10 yards to my drive, straight down the middle. I would recommend this driver to anyone looking to add some yards to their drive.
