TaylorMade Burner Driver:
TaylorMade Burner Driver
The TaylorMade Burner driver is engineered to promote greater distance through faster speed. The TaylorMade Burner
employs what is called "SuperFast Technology" to make the club lighter and faster. That includes an extra-light, 42
-gram grip that's eight grams lighter than normal; and a long and light TaylorMade SuperFast RE*AX shaft that weighs
just 50 grams, and which stretches the length of the club to 46 inches. The club's total weight tops out at 299
grams, which is approximately 20 grams less than a typical driver measuring 45 inches and equipped with a 60- to 65
-gram shaft. Meanwhile the longer length expands the swing arc. Combine the lighter weight with the wider arc and
you get a significant boost in distance. Testing indicates that SuperFast Technology promotes a distance increase of
six yards. Not only is the TaylorMade Burner extraordinarily fast and long, it's also incredibly forgiving on miss-
hits. Its size, shape and strategic weighting create an extremely high moment of inertia (MOI) that makes the club
head extremely stable and resistant to twisting when impact is made toward the toe, toward the heel, or high or low
on the face. That reduces ball-speed loss, which reduces distance loss.
The TaylorMade Burner 460cc driver is very easy to hit and get airborne. The sound and feel from the head at impact
is pretty good and the weighting in the head will send the ball on a slightly higher trajectory than most of the
other regular TaylorMade drivers. The shaft is slightly longer than the standard shafts on the R7 , which
should give you more distance. The closed in face did make it easy to hit it straighter and this feature will appeal
to mid to higher handicappers as it will give them more time to square the face at impact. Overall a good club, but
there a better value for money drivers out there in our view.
