Which is better the Taylor Made 09 Burner or the Tour Burner? TP?

Question

I know the TP version is better in both cases. But I wanna know if someone has tried both (preferrably with 10.5 loft and regular shaft) and see which one outperformed? The New 09 Burner or the Tour Burner?

Answer 1

It depends what kind of golfer you are. My understanding with the Taylor Made Burner drivers is that the standard burner is a better club for the amateur golfer who just wants respectable distance without slicing it into the woods every other shot.



The tour burner is designed for more talented golfers who can intentionally draw of fade their shots depending on the needs of the particular hole.



I'm a typical recreational amateur golfer who's happy just to break 100 on 18 relatively easy holes at a municipal course. I've been hitting the regular Burner (07 model) since last summer and I love it. I have the 9 degree stiff shaft, but I swing like there's no tomorrow. I adjusted my grip to eliminate my slice and I'm consistently hitting 250-270 yards straight as an arrow.



I suggest you get fitted at a store or pro shop that has a launch monitor. I originally thought I'd want a 10.5 degree regular shaft model because I didn't think I swung that hard and I figured a little extra loft would be nice. But after trying one on the driving range and hitting only 200 yards, I returned the club and got fitted. The monitor said the best club for me was the 9 degree stiff shaft, and sure enough it added 50+ yards and reduced my slice.

Answer 2

I have tried both, but in an x flex shaft.



the burner 09 is the much better club. It is longer off the tee, and more forgiving, but still offers plenty of workability (if you do get the tp version. The regular version is off-set) I found that i had lower spin drives that rolled a lot farther with the 09 burner, but this could also be attributed to the longer shaft in the 09 burner.

Answer 3

Depends on you really.

Bottom line (seriously)-

TP-

Better player who likes to shape shots a little more also wants good forgiveness on mis-hits. Like your run of the mill mid to lower handicapper. (The guy who won my club championship it to shoot below par)



09-

Pure and simple its bigger by 20cc. Its lighter and enginered to make you swing faster and hit longer. This is the high handicapper best friend for your driving and distance woes.



My suggestion if you drive 230 or more already get a stiff shaft it can only help on your macho man drive able par 4 that you overswing. I think that if you want a burner get a 09 burner TP because its got better shaft weight and head weight distrubtion. If money is a issue don't get the regular 09 get Tour Burner TP( emphasis on the TP) it's a easy club.



One more thing the

Answer 4

prefer 09 burner driver, it's really nice, with a lower CG location for high launch and low spin drives, increasing your distance. Using their patented 49 gram RE*AX SuperFast shaft, you will feel your swing speed explode with power for increased yardage off the tee. With a super-stable, high-MOI head design and continuing with their Inverted Cone technology, the 2009 Burner Driver Golf Clubs are set to carry on the tradition that has made them the most successful model of Titanium drivers ever.
