I think I am going to buy a Tour Burner today and I want to know if I should keep the stock shaft in it. Ideally what should I do? I hate spending 299.00 on a club and then another 100.00 to have a shaft put in it. How is the stock stiff shafts in these clubs? Swing speed 100-110mph. I was thinking about going with the L4V, but everyone I have talked to LOVES the Tour Burner.

Thanks

Its a great club. I have the Burner and i prefer the Tour Burner much more. Are you buying it from a store? You can usually upgrade the shaft instead of purchasing the stock one. The shaft on the club is a pretty good shaft as is...but let them fit your and you'll find the best shaft for you.

The stock shaft is really solid, but the biggest thing is if you have a higher launch angle then you should probably get a lower launching shaft. I had to find this out the hard way, I carry the ball like 135-140 and get almost no roll, again since I have a higher launch angle. Now I need to get a new shaft in the club, but my mom is going to pay for up to $70.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

If your going to spend $299, you may want to take a few minutes and hit some different shafts and get fitted - otherwise you'll have a nice new club that won't do a thing for you.

PILOT: Titleist 910 D2 Axivore Tour Red

3 WOOD: Callaway 3-Deep 13*

      Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
