TaylorMade Burner Balls Review

July 16, 2008

TAYLORMADE Burner


TAYLORMADE Burner

Grade: C
Teacher’s Comments: They feel dead.

I played the TaylorMade Burners in two rounds last week and was less than impressed. My overall impression is that they are “dead” balls.  It’s not just that they’re soft (and they do indeed have a nice soft feel)—it’s that they just don’t seem to have the “pop” of some others I’ve played recently. They certainly don’t have the crisp feel of the HX Hot or the Bridgestones I like so much. And the distance seems to be off also; I’m convinced they’re a club shorter for me.

On the positive side, they do seem to be very straight, especially off the driver. And there’s plenty of spin for those who like to stop the ball on a dime off the wedges.

But that doesn’t offset the distance issue for me. Your own mileage may vary, but I don’t think I can recommend these.

  • I couldnt agree more.  After playing these balls for 2 or 3 rounds, I have decided that I wasted 20 bucks on these balls.  In my experience, I have found that they tend to amplify my slice by about 20 or so yards.  I have had no success in straighter shots, and I would agree, there is very little pop to these balls.  I am going to give the Top-Flite Gamer balls a try.
