Summary:
I am one of those golfers who try everything and everything feels better than what I have....until I hit the TB. Anyone who has issues with their driver should try this club it is extremely forgiving, miss hits still go long and in fact when I hit just outside middle it promotes and great shaped power draw. I can not remember a club that I have enjoyed using more. Great to look at and a great sound, the standard shaft works well for me as I have a compact swing the smoother I swing the further it goes.

Highly recommend this club.

Tour Burner TP 8.5* Rombax 75g X

Summary:
My last few drivers resulted in a high fade ball flight more often than a draw ball flight.
With this Tour Burner TP 8.5* Rombax 75g X-Stiff shaft combination, I was consistently hitting a draw off every tee.
I had one long hook that bounced in the middle of the fairway and ran into the left ruff, but other than that the draw was very controllable and consistent. I did not have any problems with hitting the ball to high or ballooning. At the same time I had no problems getting the ball in the air at a very desirable trajectory with lots of roll out. The ninth hole I played was a dogleg right.
Any right to left ball flight would be almost impossible to hit the fairway.
I knew I had to produce a left to right/fade ball flight that I had not had to produce yet with this driver.
I aimed down the center of the fairway, opened my stance slightly and concentrated on an outside to inside swing path.
I took a good cut/swing at the ball and hit the nicest drive of the day about 300 yards around the corner, into the fairway leaving myself 92 yards to the center of the green.
So, what I am trying to say is that this driver seems to have a draw bias, but you can work the ball the other way also. The feel and sound are excellent and I thought the driver was forgiving also. It seamed to have a generous sweet spot.

I can't say that I have hit a driver that performed similar to this one.
My Bobby Jones Workshop Edition 9*, SMT DB+ 9* and Mizuno MX-700 9* heads produced a controllable high power fades.
My 80' TaylorMade Burners with steel shaft were fairly straight, but the faces were no where near as hot.
My Japan only TM XR-05 CTi has a hot face, but very small sweet spot and no where near as predictable.My Mizuno Forged Titanium 8* driver has a much smaller sweet spot and is less predictable and much more difficult to get the ball up to the desired trajectory.

Summary:
If you are looking to drive BOMBS, I defintely recommend this driver.Picked it up in spring and have easily taken 5 strokes off my game.. Stock shaft is not bad at all, club face fairly forgiving and posseses a great sweet spot.. Like one review says, you will know when you hit it clean by the great crushing sound and the extra yards spent walking or cruising up to your ball.. Can't beat the value on this driver either.. $180 Can

Summary:
This is the best club I have ever had the pleasure of picking up and swinging. I am surprised by some of the other reviews being less than stellar, in my opinion they're not warranted. If you can't get confidence swinging this one you better practice. The ball flys off the face and doesn't have that artificial sound, only pure sounding and pure feeling. The head at set up is appealing and the reax shaft is a winner in my book. I can hit this one as far as with other clubs with less effort.
