Anyone hit both? I've seen a review giving preference to the tour over the 09.

At Golfsmith on the launch moniter I myself got better flight from the 09 Burner. I currently play an 07 Burner but I may be in the process of upgrading a bit, I am leaning toward the 09 every time I hit it. Now today at one of the local clubs they had Taylormade demo days and I even prefer the 09 over the new r9, but the r9 does feel good. I tried all with a stiff shaft 9.5 to 10.5, which 10.5 flies better for my swing but I give up some distance to the 9.5. JMHO

Yeah, I've got the '09 and I like it a lot. The driver is just one of these things that it seems hard to find one and say this is the one. I'm wondering if I should have gone with the R9. Oh well, I better get use to the '09, it's a nice driver.

We had a demo day here in Southern OH - nice way for a lefty to see what is really happening. Balls being used where decent range balls also. The 09 burner for me was quite a bit better than the R9. Both 9.5* stiff. R9 with a standard setup. Tried moving weights and angles around, and still came back that the 09 burner was an around better fit for me. Good Luck

Actually, just hit both clubs on a launch monitor this past week. I liked the way Tour Burner looked, but I hit the 09 Burner much better. I went with the 09 Burner despite it's ugly graphics on the crown of the club. The current Taylormade deal giving away a free fairway wood with an 09 Burner purchase didn't hurt either..... :)

    • Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
    • Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.  
    • I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play. 
    • Day 1: worked on my drill for my arms.
