New Taylor-Made Tour Burner Driver



TaylorMade Tour Burner 460 TI Driver - RH Graphite


I got to try this driver last week and to put it mildly I had a little smile on my face. Driving has always been the weak part of my game and at times I do struggle to find the short stuff. Fortunately I do love my wedges, so it all works out in the end.

I hit approximately a dozen balls, so enough that I could get a bit of a feel for it, and enough that I hit a few poor drives and a couple of great ones.

No matter where on the face I hit it, it seemed to go high and straight. It was a pleasant surprise for me. I tend to hit the ball fairly low compared to some golfers, but then again, I am still using a Callaway Great Big Bertha II rather than the brick on a stick Taylor-Made Tour Burner (It does look massive compared to mine, but rather pleasing on the eye, unlike some out there). I was using a 10.5, whereas I carry a 9.5 degree driver and the shaft was a little softer than what I have in my Callaway.

The only downside was that it is fairly hard to shape the ball with it, but I think I could live with that if I hit them long and straight majority of the time and find more fairways.

This is a club that you should think hard about putting in your bag.
