The TaylorMade R504 XD 3-Wood is a fairway wood built for players looking for distance, a workable trajectory, and fairway versatility. With its 3-wood configuration it typically offers loft in the ~15° range (for the standard 3-wood) which can replace a long iron or strong fairway wood. The “XD” (eXtended Distance) tag suggests a performance-bias toward distance.
Key Features
-
Fairway wood design: The club aims to combine forgiveness with speed off the deck or tee.
-
Typical loft: The 3-wood version of the R500/R580/XD line shows ~15° loft in related models.
-
Shaft & flex (your spec): “Stiff” flex means the shaft is set for players with moderate to high swing speeds, offering less flex and more control than a regular flex.
-
Bag role: A 3-wood of this type is useful off the tee on par-4s/5s or off the fairway when you need more carry and roll than a hybrid but more control than a driver.
