TAYLORMADE DRIVER BURNER SUPERFAST 2.0 DRIVER
Largest Clubface of Any TaylorMade Driver In addition, the Burner 2.0 incorporates SuperFast Technology, including a longer shaft, lighter weight and more usable face area. The Burner SuperFast 2.0 driver is newly shaped to deliver the benefit of our Dual Crown Technology – designed to create a lower CG to promote a higher launch angle and lower spin-rate, the launch conditions that promote greater distance – but with a more conventional head shape. The two best distance-producing technologies in years are combined in this high-MOI driver, helping to make Burner SuperFast 2.0 five yards longer than the original Burner SuperFast. Now TaylorMade is pleased to introduce the next-generation Burner SuperFast 2.0 and Burner SuperFast 2.0 TP, which combine SuperFast technology with an ultra-large face size and low-drag aerodynamics to promote faster swing speed, a higher launch angle and lower spin-rate, equaling a dramatic boost in distance. More than 50 professionals put the Burner SuperFast in play on the PGA Tour alone and the driver was used in 14 victories worldwide, most notably the FedEx Cup TOUR Championship. It delivered on its promise of improved aerodynamics and massive distance and, by the end of 2010, achieved remarkable success on Tour and in the marketplace. Last year, SuperFast technology was improved to make the Burner SuperFast driver lighter, longer, and faster than any previous generation Burner. It introduced golfers to a groundbreaking development called SuperFast technology that allowed them to swing the club faster for greater distance. I assure you the wait will be a short one! To be continued.The modern Burner driver, introduced in early 2007, is the best-selling driver in TaylorMade history.

Now that this White Wonder is in my possesion, the next step is to report on how it preforms on the course. Well, as shown below, there may just be something to that claim. The claim made by TaylorMade is that the white cuts down on glare. I can not speak to that, but I will say that it “felt” better in my hands than did the grip on the Tour Burner.įinally on to the head, it is white! It is really white! I originally questioned if this was a gimmick, and further wondered if it was going to be a problem as far a the shaft’s shadow upon the crown. The stock grip is also stated to be lighter. I must admit that the weight, or lack of, was very noticeable in my hands.

There are definitely differences however, the Burner SuperFast 2.0 is a full inch longer at 46.5 inches and the shaft is 45 grams,15 grams lighter than the Tour Burner. The real test will be how it plays and if it improves my game on the course. However, it also suggests that TaylorMade makes a consistently reliable product. This actually makes a rather strong argument against buying the new club purely for the sake of it being new, at least in my case. With that said, the two clubs seem virtually identical! I play a slight draw, as you can tell looking at the graphic at the upper right, and both clubs played the same in that area. The next 21 strikes were taken with the 2011 Burner SuperFast 2.0 and I gained 3 extra yards and 1 mph of speed. Once I got that “dialed in” I took 11 more deliberate strikes with the 2008 Tour Burner the longest distance was 169 yards, and the highest speed was 106. It took me about 10 strikes to get my average playing distance to record, about 160 yards. I warmed up with the Tour Burner, those are the shorter shots you see there at the bottom. Now, 3 solid months of play later and in the process of getting my first golf handicap, I feel my game and swing is consistent enough to preform a fair comparison. I first hit the Burner 2.0 in March of this year and had a less than stellar impression, but that was due to the fact that I had been shoveling snow and not cracking drives down the fairways.

With that said, on to the topic at hand, the 2011 TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 versus the 2008 Tour Burner. I will say though as of the date I write this, I shall be interred with that R5!!

For the purposes of this comparison article I will not go though a listing of all my upgrades, only to say that I brought my 2008 Tour Burner out of retirement after coming to the conclusion that my R9 was not a good fit for my game.

Just like most of us who are completely addicted to golf, I like to upgrade my equipment when I am able. I fell in love with that club after the very first swing! The golf ball just seemed to rocket off the face of that club compared to the others I was hitting at the time (knock-off Big Bertha’s, first gen.).

I have been a TaylorMade “fanboy” since my first TaylorMade driver purchase, the R5, and I am not ashamed to proclaim said adoration.
