TaylorMade Burner TP Driver

I had a chance to try one of these during a group golf lesson that I was taking at a local course. The pro brought out a bag of clubs when we were warming up and offered them for us to try.

The Burner TP has got sort of a different look about it—almost as if they took one of their more traditional pear shaped drivers and squashed it. But I hit it well. The thing I liked best about it is that the ball flight was relatively low. Since I hit the ball high—often too high—that was a real boon.

The TP version of TaylorMade’s Burner driver is sold as the same club that TaylorMade’s pros use. To this end, it’s got the same swing weight and launch conditions and Fujikura shaft. Normally, I would say that pro ine clubs are too much for a mid handicapper like me to handle, but my TaylorMAde TP 3 wood is my favorite club, and the Burner TP Driver I tried

The driver uses what TaylorMade calls its SuperFast club technology. That’s supposed to offer a lighter weight and longer clublength for higher clubhead speed. And, of course, it has TaylorMade’s Inverted Cone Technology, which is supposed to expand the sweet spot and increase the effective moment of intertia. I’m a big fan of the Inverted Cone Technology; it simply works. I play a TaylorMade Driver, three wood and irons, and on all of them, even off center hits tend to fly in the direction of the target.
