I currently have a R9(not the 460) that I play with and like it pretty well. I found a Burner Super Fast on Ebay yesterday that was just too cheap to pass up(the guy was quitting golf and didn't really know how to market clubs). So anyways, I bought it and I'm looking forward to hitting it, if I don't like it I will have no trouble getting my money back. Just wondering if anybody had any experience with the two of them and which one they preferred. Thanks

Bought a Superfast, and couldn't it at all.. the shaft was like 48 or 52 grams or something.. too light for me (106mph swing speed). pulling it every time.

Demo'd a R9 tp (with the Fuji 65 gram shaft), and same natural swing, problems gone. straight with a slight fade)

just my experience.. not that I have a pretty swing or anything though :)

While I was getting my driver fitted last week, I tried out the Superfast for fun and man...what a boom stick. My swing speed is at roughly 115 and I was getting roughly 10 yards more on average, long and straight.
From what I hear and read, the added length to the shaft and weight of the shaft certainly doesn't make it the easiest driver to control but if you have a good driver swing, it bombs balls like nobodys business.

From the reviews I've read it sounds like the club is almost designed for a slower swing....

its light and long so it can be beneficial for slower swingers in increasing distance. However, that comes with a disadvantage which si that lighter and longer shafts are harder to control. I think this driver would be perfect in the hands of someone who has a good swing but is looking to add some distance.

I was in the same situation as you. I had the Callaway X460 driver and always wanted the Super Fast but didn't want to pay the price. Then I found on on EBay at an absolute STEAL. I took it to the range and fell in love. My problem with driving is I try to kill the ball every time. My problem was when I tried to kill the ball with the Callaway club I ended up hitting a poor drive. I found myself doing that from time to time at the range but the results were much better. Once I made myself not kill the ball I was blown away with the performance. I know its not a comparison to the R9 but I just wanted to give you my point of view.

      Day 129: 5/4/24 Stack training but could not certify my warmup speed. Dealing with a pulled neck muscle. Chips and pitches at a local course for about 15 minutes.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By mchepp ·

      Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By JetFan1983 ·

      First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!!

      Day 23: Rained all day, so no ball hitting. Worked indoors on top of the backswing feel, and also putted around the living room working on bead.

      Played Four Oaks in Dracut today going back to the 2 man scramble match play format. My brother and I shot a team 81 winning 3 and 2. Had so many good shots today using a more centered turn. Seems to have really iginited my golf game. We'll see if I can keep it going.
