Driver: BURNER, HIBORE XL, or SUMO2

[RickPro]

Looking at buying one of these drivers.
if you have one please share your personal experience with them.


planning on buying something soon. your help will be greatly appreciated.



Taylormade Burner is on the gold list, last time i had a taylor made driver was when the bubble 1st came out. great club that was

Cleveland Hibore XL is on the gold list. funny shape but interesting

Sumo2 is on the gold list, but its square. never had a square driver before but i would like to try new things.

I love my HiBore XL. Feels so awesome when you smack it on the sweet spot. I get great distance from it to.

Sumo2 5300. I cannot write enough good things about it. At first, I thought it took away distance, but now..I hit low, penetrating BOMBS. Farther and straighter than I EVER have.

I'm currently playing the Hibore XL and I have no complaints with it thus far.

i would go with the burner and i am not being biast becasue it is what i have i was in the same delima you were in a couple of weeks ago when i was about to buy my burner, but thanks to launch moniters i found out the nike sumo2 is 10 yards shorter and the xl is 7 yards shorter than my burner and way less accurate so i would go with the burner (i hit 12 farways today).

With your cap i would go with a some other players drivers. The Sumo2 is the opposite of a players driver and the other two aren't much better. I would try the Titleist 907D2, the Callaway FT5, and if you like the Buner you can get the Buner TP. I think those drivers would be better suited to your game, IMO.

I love my HiBore XL. It's the straightest driver I've ever hit and the longest. I would definitely recommend you try all the drivers that you're thinking about purchasing before hand though.

well i use the TM tour burner, so there are differences between the two

but i like it alot, and im sure the regular burner is nice also. I would say to go with that

i have a Burner...great driver...however i'd recommend the TP. It comes with a heavier shaft as well and although it is less forgiving, it feels more rewarding on solid strokes.

Although, the Burner is now 200dollars and is a great value. Again, the shaft is pretty light at 50g so i'd recommend getting a heavier shaft in there.

I wanted to vote Burner but then I voted others, because I recommend Burner TP not regular Burner.

[ElTigre]

I have an FT-5 and love it. Pretty accurate, workable and forgiving. (I have tour neutral version) might increase workability.

[ks8829]

I play the R5 TP driver so I would favor the Burner in the TP.

[Magnum PI]

I tried them all. Went with the Hibore XL because I hit it consistently straighter than the others - but not as far.

[FlopShotArtist]

Congrats on the new stick.

I personally love my Burner, but I am still wanting a Cobra Speed. By far the best sounding, and looking driver out right now. IMO.

thank you, but i like to hit the ball straight. when i start getting fancy it makes me nervous when i try to draw or fade the ball. so i like to keep it straight. because when done incorrectly it goes a long way, the wrong way.

I like to just keep my drives straight, if i do have to work the ball of the tee, i will use my strong 4. i can create better with my fairway wood, then my driver. That is why i use the heads of the forgiving drivers and switch the shaft to something else like a x-stiff with a high kickpoint. looks like everyone likes there hibore xl. i have the cleveland launcher that came out before the 1st hibore. i loved it, but over time its just getting old for me. and i am starting to lose confidence in it. i think its time to swith to something new and different. its nice having new things. i don't like paying full price for a club that will be 1/2 price in 6 months u know what i mean. well thanks. i guess so far i staying with the cleveland driver family

HiBore had a huge lead early, but now burner is creeping up and is 2 away from tying it.

[tonyy]

I voted Burner. My uncles have this driver and that thing is just beastly.
