Taylormade Burner Superfast

Summary:
I have been using a 2009 Nike SQ driver and had heard great things about the Superfast. When an opportunity to get one cheap came up, I jumped on it.

The club looks awesome. However, I could not make it perform consistently no matter what I tried. Even when I hit it solid, it still drove 20 yards less than an average hit on the Nike.

As someone who replaces drivers once or twice a season I also look for clubs with some decent resale value as well. I could not give this club away. It had only had the plastic off of it for 2 weeks and it looked like new. I tried selling it in multiple outlets for $100 and got no takers. It seems that this clubs bad reputation is catching up to it. I finally took the $108 PGA trade-in value that the golf shop was offering on another club.

Taylor Made Burner Superfast Driver

Summary:
I have now had this club for 2 months and I am very impressed with it, the first few rounds I had with it was a bit all over the place so I stuck with it went to the driving range a couple of times and WOW. I am now hitting further and landing on more fairways than before with a straight and boring trajectory. The club it replaces was a Cleveland Hibore XL and I am easily hitting it 10 to 15 meters further with the Burner.

I would recommend this club to anyone who would like to add distance, accuracy and forgiveness to their drives.

Give yourself a little time to get used to it, you won't be sorry if you do.

Taylormade Burner Superfast HT

Summary:
I'm a bogie golfer comming off a three year layoff. I shoot 90 not 92.
Tried the Superfast at a TM try out day. Hit every Superfast badly. Sliced em and I'm not a slicer.

I wanted this club because it's so sexy and cool looking. Reminds me of an Indian
warhead or Hatchet.

Bought a used HT (high Trajectory 13*) with a senior flex ( M ) on Ebay. It took two times at the range and one round of golf to master this baby. It's too long and light. I still love it. But I choked up two inches till I got this puppy going straight. I like it though and noticed myself gripping the full shaft, lately. Long shafts are slower not faster. It's physics. But this club rocks. The 10.5 might have worked as well as long as I got the senoir flex.

I receintly piked up some Ping ISI-Ks with senior shafts. My Ping BeCu stiffs were too darn stiff. I lost distance. Going to the senior shafts got my trajectory higher and longer. Don't let your ego hold you with stiff shafts if yoiu need reg or M flex!!

I'm a short hitter & 215-225+ yards.

If you get one give yourself some time to master it.

Enjoy.

Taylor Made Burner Superfast

Summary:
This driver has a great look and feel. The head is massive, but so light that it doesn't feel that way in your hands. The super-light shaft really allows you to swing faster which equals greater distance. The large head is also very forgiving. I can see the ball marks on my club and despite being all over the face most shots travel long and straight.
If you are a high to mid-handicapper looking to add some distance and consistency to your drive, your club has arrived.
