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.

Tour Edge Exotics XCG....It is frekishly long. Way longer than any Burner I have had. Longest Driver I have hit to date (and I have one for sale). Really though, it's long!!

In My Bag:
Driver: R9 TP 9.5°
Hybrids: Idea Pro, 16°, 20°, VS Proto
Irons: TP MB 4-P
Wedges: Vokey SM 50.08 54°, 60°Putter: NP2

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

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.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
