TaylorMade-Tour-Burner-Driver Review
I must admit, when I was first asked to review this Driver, I was very excited. I had heard about the new TaylorMade Tour Burner Driver from advertisements and in golf magazines. I am an avid TaylorMade Driver user; I have the 2011 TaylorMade-Tour-Burner-Driver as well. The Tour Burner Driver is this season's new hot club following in the footsteps of this years Tour Burner Driver Driver. At my local golf store this TaylorMade-Tour-Burner-Driver is on the shelf, but there are not very many on display because it is selling quite well.
TaylorMade has gone through a bit of a lull but I think with the latest line of Drivers they are coming on strong. Let's see how the Tour Burner Driver Driver stacks up, shall we?
TaylorMade-Tour-Burner-Driver Details
I think TaylorMade-Tour-Burner-Driver was an excellent shaft choice for this head, and it's designed to look good with this Driver from Cheap Golf Clubs.
TaylorMade-Tour-Burner-Driver Technology
The Cheap TaylorMade-Tour-Burner-Driver is a forged composite Driver designed to be much lighter than titanium. Today, carbon fiber is the hot technology which is being used in bikes, cars, and even Boeing's newest airplanes because of how light and strong it is.
The head has also been designed with streamlined surface technology to create less drag and higher impact speeds. The carbon fiber is what attracts me to TaylorMade's Drivers. Many of my friends are race car enthusiasts and will often rave about the importance of making the car light but still retaining durability. Carbon Fiber is the ideal material, where it is light enough to increase your swing speed, but durable enough to not be damaged while in your golf club. With the Tour Burner Driver , TaylorMade has added the feature of streamlining the head design to take even more advantage of the Carbon Fiber material.
TaylorMade states that the forged composite contains over 12 million turbostatic carbon fibers that reinforce the crown of the club. This also allows the TaylorMade engineers to precisely control thickness resulting in a lighter club head and an high MOI.
The Tour Burner Driver has a Speed Frame Face Technology which is designed to have a larger sweetspot and help off center drives go a long way and still be very forgiving. The Driver also has Distance Trajectory Weighting which is designed to put the center of gravity lower in the clubhead to launch the ball high and help get the ball up in the air. I was worried when I read high launch. For me, having the Driver balloon in the air is a big issue that I want to avoid. For this club TaylorMade did not go overboard with the launch conditions and it creates a nice boring trajectory which was very pleasing. I will go into the face and how forgiving it is in the Playability section.
TaylorMade-Tour-Burner-Driver Esthetics
The TaylorMade-Tour-Burner-Driver For Sale has a very shallow face which allows the club designer to put the volume of the Driver between the toe and heel. This design harkens back to the days of the square Driver which explains some of the performance I will talk about later. The top of the Driver is mostly black but has some red lines as well as some grey sections. When the Driver is flipped over the real excitement begins. The heel and the toe have a mesh look which surround the black TaylorMade crest which is a carry over from the original Tour Burner Driver design. The bottom of the club head was designed for speed. TaylorMade refers to this as streamlined surface technology which reduces energy loss from drag by 17% ver
