About this product
This right-handed TaylorMade XR-05 CTI driver features an 8.5° loft and a stiff Evenflow graphite shaft at 45 inches. The composite head is designed for players seeking a blend of distance and control. Priced at $150.00, it's a solid option for golfers who want a modern driver with a stiff flex to suit faster swing speeds.
Our take
I got my hands on this TaylorMade XR-05 CTI driver, and it's a good-looking club with a composite head and stiff Evenflow shaft. At 8.5° loft, it's aimed at players who want a lower launch and more roll. The stiff flex gives me a stable feel through impact, and the 45-inch length is standard. For $150, it's a fair deal for a used driver from a top brand. Just keep in mind the low loft might not suit everyone, and the composite head might not feel as solid as titanium to some.
