The TaylorMade Men’s R580XD Driver features a 440cc Titanium head that boasts a larger sweet spot and a massive moment of inertia (MOI) for greater forgiveness on mis-hits. A larger, deeper hitting area above the center of gravity (CG) makes the XD extra-easy to launch. TaylorMade’s improved Inverted Cone Technology provides a larger coefficient of restitution (COR) zone that results in higher ball speed. Built with super-lightweight graphite shafts this club is tip-soft with a mid-torque to promote a high launch angle and a long, straight carry. The MAS2 60 shaft weighs a teensy 60 grams and features a medium tip that is designed to work in conjunction with the head to deliver optimum control and distance.
This right-handed club also features a CAD-optimized center of gravity that is positioned low and back to help promote a high launch angle and reduced spin. TaylorMade included crown lines on the clubhead for enhanced aiming and consistency. Engineered to precisely tune the shaft with the club head, TaylorMade uses a weight cartridge inserted into a port in the back of the clubhead.
What is the Coefficient of Restitution (COR)?
The Coefficient of Restitution, referred to as COR in golf circles, is a measurement of the clubface’s ability to rebound the ball, expressed as a percentage that is determined by a ball’s speed off the clubhead divided by the speed at which it struck the clubhead. The term crept into popular golf vernacular with the rise of ultra-thin-faced drivers. An effect of thin faces is known as the “spring-like effect” or “trampoline effect”–the face of the driver depresses as the ball is struck, then rebounds. This provides a little extra power to the shot, and a club that exhibits this property will have a very high COR. Of course, the USGA has imposed maximum CORs to level the “spring-like effect” playing field. For a club to be allowed under USGA rules, it must have a maximum COR of 0.830.

TaylorMade’s r5 Dual drivers are the most forgiving drivers that TaylorMade has ever engineered. This driver boasts an extraordinarily high moment of inertia that delivers exceptional stability for dramatically better results on off-center hits. There are two types of heads for the r5, the type D and type N. The r5 type D’s clubhead and shaft are engineered to work together to alleviate a slice and/or promote a distance-enhancing draw. If you often lose drives to the right and want to hit the ball straighter, or even from right-to-left, try the type D. Players seeking a large, forgiving, confidence-inducing driver that’s engineered to be easy to hit, and which promotes a neutral and long ball flight, will the love the r5 Dual type N.
