TaylorMade Burner 460 Golf Drivers - Reviews

On 2007-03-23, NJM rated this TaylorMade Burner 460 a 5...(7693)

Details: Stiff Taylor Made Stock Shaft 10.5 deg.

Purchase: $299 at Washington Golf - a place I would not buy anything unless I knew exactly what I wanted ahead of time. Commissioned sales lead to pushy sales people trying to push pricey products.
Pros: My slicing issue has gone away. Not all drives are perfect but more than half of my drives are going very straight. I hit a couple today over 270 which for me is very unusual. The trajectory is very high but I certainly could not argure with today's results. I have hit this driver twice on the range but today was the first official field test.
Cons: Nothing - although I am not sure if the 10.5 is too much. I replaced a 9.5 driver that I just could not get over 240 even with a launch monitor swing speed of 102 - 105.
Quality: Great

Review Summary: This driver really does go straight and far. It is probably a little early to really sing its praises but I was very happy today with its performance. I played with a couple of drivers on a launch monitor in Atlanta and found this one to be the best with the stock shaft in stiff. I also really liked the titelist d1 demo that the Atlanta store had but did not want to wait 2 months to actually get one (Im a lefty). For some strange reason (pilot error) I could not swing the Nike Sumo Square over 95 mph and would hit it straight but not very far according to the monitor. The shaft is certainly a little more flexy than the graffaloy prolaunch blue in my old driver but its working for me. Overall, I really like the Burner. I cant even fathom working a ball so I cant speak to that. Hope this helps/

Details: 10.5 degree

Purchase: I hit every driver in the store that had a respected name.This one won hands down.Paid $299 for this one.
Pros: LIGHT AND LOOOOOONG.It feels so light when you swing it you just smash the ball.Contact is suprisingly solid for a club that is so light.Closed face suits high handicappers game perfectly.My swing speed is around 120 mph but only able to control between 107-112.With the burners HOT inverted cone face technology I am still able to hit the ball 290 plus depending on conditions.You might be able to find a driver that is as long, but you wont find one that is longer.Unless its non-conforming.
Cons: Would like more shaft options.
Quality: Normal Taylormade quality.Excellent.

Review Summary: Dont be angry when the longest in your foursome is using a driver that costs $1OO-$200 DOLLARS LESS THAN YOURS!
