| TWAnSTER's Full Review: Taylor Made FireSole Driver |
Ever since I first started golfing, the first Driver I ever laid my hands on was a Wilson Generic your typical run of the mill cheap driver. After about 2 years, after I finally decided I liked golf, I bought my first Taylor Made Driver which at the time was the Ti-Bubble 2. My friend had the owner of a Great Big Bertha Driver that I absolutely loved so I figured I should buy the Ti Bubble 2 and expect to get similar results. WRONG! The Ti-Bubble 2 has absolutely no control, kind of like my old Wilson. The distance was average, but only if you hit it dead in the sweet spot.
I eventually sold my Ti-Bubble 2 and I made a point to not look at Taylor Made woods for a long time. When the Firesole came along, I merely regarded it as another Ti-Bubble 2 that Taylor Made was trying to put out. After my friend finally convinced me to try it however, I was amazed. You can absolutely crush the ball with this driver and I am also able to keep it in the fairway almost all of the time unlike the Ti-Bubble 2 and my old Wilson. I also (and I know this really isn't important) loved the color of it and the way it looked in my bag. My only complaint about this club was the way it sounded, and the feel. Even though the ball goes a mile, when you hit this club, it feels like your hitting golf balls with a tin can. Also it sounds like a hollow chunk of metal on a stick unlike the Callaway Clubs and the Ti-Bubble 2 where you can actually hear a distinct CHINK! when the ball hits the club.
Aside from these small problems, I think this Driver is excellent for the money and much more bang for the buck compared to the Callaways. It has been awhile since I first bought this but suprisingly, the finish is still almost good as new. I think Taylor Made really makes quality products.
