hi - I have a 9.5 2007 tayloremade Burner. I love the club but I launch the ball really high. it has the standard re-ax fuji shaft in a reg flex. I am wondering if anyone here has re- shafted this driver and if so what shaft they put in. I was thinking about a aldilla green NV shaft in a reg flex. I hit 9 fairways today so I am not loosing the ball - maybe just losing a little distance - anyone re shafted this baby with good results?? Its advertised as a light driver with a longer shaft so i dont want to screw up it up - just improve it

I really like the stiff version of yours - which I have in 50g in my Burner. I have a high launch angle/spin rate and ball flight and this shaft keeps the ball on a more penetrating trajectory than my R7425 did.

However, seeing as how you are replacing the RE-AX shaft, you might want something a little more up-market. The Aldila NV is a great shaft, there are other good shafts - try out your friends clubs and get a feel for other shafts.

I myself now also use a Burner. My shaft is the stiff shaft of the RE-AX shaft. I myself launch ball quite high too, switch my taylormade tp red which advertise to promote lower ball flight and wa la, i got my prefer ballflight. Not quite sure is right or wrong but so far the result isn't bad.

how's your distance? are you happy with it? How's your spray? do you tend to spray the ball? If you're spraying, then you know the stiffer shaft would help.
to get a lower trajectory ball, go with a shaft that has a mid-high or even straight high kick point. It'll help keep the ball on a lower flight path.

For the burner, i'd go with a Graffaloy Epic shaft, GD YS+7 (but both have medium tips so that might be a little soft).
I live by the Diamana White Board. I've been thru 4 shafts in my driver in the past year, and the white board will be there forever. It's the best shaft that I've used that provides consistent trajectory..even on mishits, i'm about 90% out and 10% to the right.....try it..it's pretty damn awesome.

no reason why not - something to watch out for though is the swingweight of the club. It will change if you use a different shaft (Burner shafts are 46 inches, longer than normal) and also the Burner grip was designed to be very light.

    • Day 22: mirror work for a while. Working on my elbow in the downswing - keeping it in a better position. 
    • Day 36 (16 Dec 25) - continued the exaggerated left foot weight shift trigger adding some easy low flighted pitches with the 5h and a few putting style bump and runs with the 5h as well.
    • Day 442 - 2025-12-16 Got some swings in at an indoor academy a little south of Erie.
    • Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
    • Day 126 12-16 Back swing and rotation work today. Didn't hit any balls. Focusing on rotating and getting to lead side.
