TaylorMade R 540 XD driver

Can anyone tell me a little about this driver? I have the 3 wood and hit it very good, was thinking of adding the driver. Is it a huge head? I currently hit the G2 and and dislike it for that reason.

Try the origional quad

I am not sure what size the 540 is bu tI do know that the origional R7 quad is a 400cc head. I have a friend that is currently using one and it is not monsterous especiall when compared to the new 460cc drivers. Just something you might want to consider.

540 xd is 400cc
580 xd is 440cc.

So the 540xd isn't too big, just big enough.

Taylor R540xd

My son now has my R540xd but I like my R580xd more. Cant tell the difference in size from the top view only because the volume CC difference if in club head height but seems to launch higher for me.
