TaylorMade Burner 860 10.5 Reg MD-050 Golf Drivers - Reviews

On 2004-09-13, Gary Taxman rated this TaylorMade Burner 860 10.5 Reg MD-050 a 5...(4358)



Purchase: E-BAY (Thegolfhabit) US$115 & shipping to Australia - Bought the club over E-Bay (US Version). Was brand new and came with matching headcover. Wanted the club because it had good specs (405cc titanium head with .860 COR) and it had an upgraded Japanese MD050 reg flex shaft (Do swingweight & I think torque of just over 4). Sick of trying to swing too hard so this looked ideal!
Pros: Huge sweet spot & ultra forgiving. Despite some other opinions, can still fade or draw the ball at will - or can hit straight with a fairly open set up. Also looks good!
Cons: Only when you try & step on it does the shaft become too whippy causing the odd duck hook.
Quality: Magnificent...no problems whatsoever.

Review Summary: Drove the green on a very short par 4 (260yds) for the first time using this Driver. Hndcp has gone down from 15 to 12 in the last 6 weeks including a 7 over gross 79 (course itself is par 72, 6320 yards - Perth, Western Australia). Would like to try out an XR-03 or XR05 to see how it stacks up. Have tried a R540XD reg and the Burner 860 killed it.
