Taylor Made Burner 09 Golf Club Review

The TaylorMade Burner Driver's elongated head helps against air resistance for explosvie swing speed.

The entire lightweight design of Burner drivers allows for explosive swing speed, and the head gives a high launch but a low spin on the ball. This feature promotes more forgiveness and workability for shapes of shots. And the larger address area gives a golfer more of a chance to strike the ball and avoid a slice.

There are too many lofts on this driver, and anyone thinking of purchasing it should consider the low loft. With the high-launch trajectory, the larger the loft, the more of a pop-up. Most tee shots will be a little higher than most drivers. Though that can equal more distance, it also can equal a strange bounce on or off the fairway.

The one thing missing from Burners is the adjustable weights and positions that come with TaylorMade's R9 drivers. Though those are for more experienced players, Burners are good for golfers looking to swing big and bomb the ball as far as their swing allows.
