I am a TM fan myself, and have played all 3 clubs. I still have the SuperQuad and the Tour Burner - I sold the Burner.

SuperQuad - Nice for adjusting the weights to manipulate ball flight. Great price right now, as it is "older" technology.

Tour Burner - Currently in my bag. The head is a bit smaller than the Burner, and looks a little more "traditional".

Burner: Head was a bit too large looking for me (the silver trailing edge was distracting.

Either the SQ or TB would be great, but I prefer the Tour Burner.

If you have any more detailed questions, feel free to message me directly. Hope tat helps.

I demoed the Tour Burner and I really like it a lot. However, I found that I hit the MP-600 a little longer and with less dispersion. Plus, the Mizuno was $399 and not $599. I will be getting the Mizuno to replace my R580, but the Tour Burner is by no means a bad club. The set-up and profile at address are similar. I don't think that you could go wrong with it.

I've only demoed the regular Burner and it was a terrible club for me. Extremely shut face, extra long and extra light shaft. It's like I asked them to build the worst possible driver for me. But 2 out of 5 times I hit it great. The 10.5 hit like a 12 or 13 degree.

All three of them are good clubs, and yes I am partial to TM myself so I understand your loyalty.

My league golf partner has the Tour Burner. Very nice looking club, and it hits much further than my SQ or my King Cobra... But I am used to the more forgiving drivers with a larger sweet spot. So I find the Tour Burner a little harder for me to hit consistently, and in my opinion I find it to have a somewhat numb feeling. It just seems to be made for distance and not workability.

Where as I feel that the SQ is really about accuracy and workability. I must admit even my King Cobra has better distance than my SQ but I feel that they serve two different purposes, which is why I have both in my trunk and switch between the two based upon the course I am playing. For instance if I am playing long Par4's and 5's with minimal hazards I grab the Cobra. But when I am on a more technical course with doglegs and many hazards I find the SQ is a better choice.

In the end you should demo both of them and see what works the best for you.

I am a superquad owner/lover.

Its not exactly forgiving, i mean, its big, but its not gonna help you a whol lot.

If you upgrade the burners shaft, its not a big deal, but i cant hit tiwht the stock 46 inch shaft. hooked like crazy.

Also, if you play a nautral draw, you will probobly need a tp, If you slice or fade whatever, you can get by with a non tp.

Just bought the 2007 Burner for $199.99 at Chicks.

I was looking into all 3 clubs becuase I have always used TayloMade drivers. Before I purchased the Burner I was playing a R580. I liked the driver but I needed a more "forgiving" head. I really wanted the SuperQuad, but I think the extra weight would get me into trouble.

I'm really happy with my Burner. I hit longer and 100x straighter then my old R580. Oh and btw, its a stiff flex with a 9.5*. It feels very comforteble and I believe its the easiest to hit out of all 3. You may not get the distance like the SuperQuad or Tour Burner, but it works for long and straight.

Overall I'm happy and hopefully will have lower scores to come.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
