Hey guys appreciate all the help...

The 905R has treated me well, but it only performs when I am completely spot on.

I need something a little hotter with some more forgiveness. I really like the new Taylor made drivers, Burner and Super quad. Does anyone have these clubs and what are the differences. I know the whole weight thing but that doesn't matter because I'll be switching in my v2.

also, I've been looking through ebay and the TP versions are affordable via that route. anyone have the TP and what are the differences?

Still, the one (r7 SuperQuad) has a deeper face and the movable weights along with a different head shape.

Why not consider the 907D2? It's miles better, IMHO, than the 905R for my swing. I had too much spin with the R, but I'm in love with the D2... and I previously used the r7 TP (425 and 460) and tried - and hated - the Burner this year.
also, I've been looking through ebay and the TP versions are affordable via that route. anyone have the TP and what are the differences?

TP = better shaft, neutral face angle, neutral weighting. If you fight a quick hook, get the TP version. Otherwise, it's probably not worth the extra money for you. You will waste a little money on the shaft, I guess, if you're just replacing it.

The 907D2 can be custom ordered from the get-go with a ProForce and already has a neutral face angle and weighting.

Whatever move I make I'm switching out shafts from my 905R into the new club, so I'm not worried about whatever shaft technology comes on the club. I'm thinking I am just going to get out there and demo some clubs, I was just looking for some feedback.

What were the issues with the Burner, for some reason I love the looks of the club. Its a definate impulse buy...

Wouldn't you have problems with reshafting from a full bore to a shallow/half-bore driver though? Correct me someone if I'm wrong????

whoa, yeah that could be an issue... I'll have to call my friend who owns a golf repair place thingy and check with him

that would suck if i couldnt reshaft, if its the case i may not pull the trigger on the club...

I like my Tp R5 Dual.. got new on ebay for $150..only issue is that it is a 8.5 degree which is a little low for me but it was cheap and drivers for me don't stay long..

I hit the 907D2 with the proforce and the Aldila VS Proto shafts and all I can say is I wish I had $400 sitting around, great driver, awesome feel, wish I could have seen it somewhere else than the launch monitor.

The 905R is a very forgiving driver. More forgiving than any R7 model ever made. I would say the Burner is more forgiving, but with a 1.5* closed face, i'd look into the TP version.

I really like the Ping G5. I find it to be pretty forgiving. You may be able to find it new fairly cheap since it's "last years" model with the Ping Rapture now out...but I'd give the Ping G5 a try. No doubt the best club in my bag.
