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

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
