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.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
