TaylorMade Golf is introducing the R360 XD titanium driver, which company officials are calling a new and improved version of TaylorMade's popular 360 Ti driver. The new club carries a suggested retail price of $299.
Designed with distance in mind, TMaG officials said, the R360 XD driver features the company's "Pull-Face'' titanium construction, which allows for a strong-walled clubhead and thin yet strong clubface. The driver also contains a 360cc clubhead that boasts a high moment of inertia for greater stability and less twisting on off-center hits.
The clubface is engineered thicker and thinner in strategic areas, resulting in a larger sweet spot. The clubhead also includes what officials call a precision-placed center of gravity that fuels a high, long-carrying trajectory.
In addition, officials said, the club comes with an XD-60 Extra Distance graphite shaft that weighs only 60 grams and features a soft tip that helps launch the ball into the air.
The R360 XD comes equipped with a TM Crossline non-cord grip and is available in S, R and M flexes; and in right-handed lofts of 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 degrees and left-handed lofts of 9.5 and 10.5 degrees.
