TaylorMade 200 13* 2 wood Golf Fairway Woods - Reviews

On 2002-06-11, Scott Atkins rated this TaylorMade 200 13* 2 wood a 5...(179)



Purchase: I have been looking for the ever elusive "perfect 3 wd." for some time now. My criteria was based on the ability to hit comfortably off the tee with no fear of skying or topping and also a club I could hit off the turf with good distance. My previous 3 wd. (Taylor 300 Tour, graphite) was long and straight when I was swinging in perfect tempo, however, not very forgiving when I was not. I just didn't have the consistency I was looking for. I took this club to a local Golf Mart that is known for their nice trade-in policy with the intention of trading the 300 for the new steel 200 series 15* 3 wd. with s-90 Rifle. The sales person informed me that they were out of the 3 wds, that they were selling like hotcakes. That's when I saw the 2 wd. in the bin. I've tried other 13* fairway wds. and they would meet either one or the other of my aforementioned criteria , but never both, so I was a little leery of trying another. But since this store has a 2 round return trade-in policy I decided to take a chance. I'm sure glad I did. I paid $60 difference between my 300 series and this 200.
Pros: This club meets both my performance criteria demands. It's trajectory is strong, it gets up quickly and easily from the turf under all types of lie conditions. I've even hit it many times from the rough. How many other 13*s can you say that about. When I hit it in the middle of the clubface from the tee it is nearly as long as my driver which makes it a great alternative on tight driving holes. I hit it 255 in my last round off the tee.
Cons: There's really nothing I don't like, however, personally I could use a little lighter shaft than the steel. I'm 46 now and toward the end of rds. on hot days the heavy shaft sometimes becomes a swing tempo issue. But I definately have a tempo problem with graphite shafted fairway wds. so I guess I'll stick with the lesser of 2 evils.
Quality: The cosmetics, construction and quality, even down to the headcover of this Taylor Made screams class and quality. It's really a nice looking wd.

Review Summary: The bottom line is: If you want a looong, straight, forgiving, versatile fairway wood look no furthur than the Taylor Made 200 series 2 wood. There has to be some reason the pros are all playing it(besides the money).
