I just got the new Tour Burner and Iwill say after hitting just about every new driver on the market in the last month.

It is by far the best one out there right now in my opinion.

Definitely the L4V X speed with stock Red Board. I also have the MP-600 with a Fuji 360 and a 905R with the V2 shaft, and I am at least 15 yards longer with the L4V. Just gotta remember the earplugs

The burner isn't for advanced players. Its a game improvement driver, and really easy to hit. Hence all the hackers that use it.

I don't know what this is in response to, but it sounds fairly snobby to me. Who cares if it's a "game improvement" driver? If it puts the ball where you want it, everyone can and should use it.

My L4V is considered "SGI", but that thing is a better fit for me than the more "expert" drivers that I have. Not because I can't hit the other ones, but because it's the longest and easiest. Why make things harder than they have to be?

He was referring to the bottom quote

...The burner is for higher skilled players with a higher moi and designed for more swing speed it also as a lower launch angle so the average joe cant just get it up in the air

Here's what I play:

the burner is probably the longest driver for anyone who can cotrol the extre inch or so but whenever i hit it the longer shaft makes it almost impossible to hit the sweet spot.

Funny, but they have a TP version of both the Burner and the Tour burner (anyone else find "Tour Burner TP" a bit obnoxious?). So...

oh sorry, i didnt meant to insult anyone as a hacker. i mainly meant to say that its played by many many players, not just the advanced. so its not a driver for an advanced player, its made for people with less skills also.

I think that the Cobra drivers are among the longest available. A lot of guys who won their divisions and placed near the top in the ReMax Long Drive Championship used Cobra.

I hope you don't think these players are using those drivers because of their length. Do not ever base a club decision on what a pro is using. For the most part... they use the clubs they use because that is who offered them the most money. Furthermore... Jamie Sadlowski just signed with Adams... does that mean they are the longest on the market?

That being said... most drivers are within 10 yards of each other. If you want performance and to get more distance out of a club... find a shaft that complements your swing and whatever driver you are using. Also fix your swing... you cant buy length off the tee.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      My Swing (billchao)

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
