Taylormade Burners

[LoCo]

Im looking at a Taylormade Driver i saw a Taylormade Burner and a Taylormade Burner Draw and they look exactly the same. What is the difference and what would you recommend!

[tonyy]

I'm gonna take a guess and say the TM Burner Draw promotes, well, a draw.

Personally I'd stay away from the draw driver and stick with the regular TM Burner. It's a great driver.

Heres what it says for the Draw:

the regular version sets up kinda closed anyway, so unless your trying to fight a slice, the regular version should be fine.

I had a bad slice so I decided on the burner draw. The first time I swung the club I had a nice draw. I love this club. I no longer slice the ball. Everything I hit is either a slight fade or straight. I would recommend this club if you have a slice, but if you hit it straight, don't bother, it could just make you hook the ball.

I'm probably in the minority among high handicappers, but I'm not a fan of draw biased clubs. I used to have a bad slice (still do sometimes), but I was able to correct it by working on my swing. I didn't want to be dependent on a certain club to be able to hit the ball straight. Now I usually hit it straight or with a little bit of push or pull. So I say go with the regular Burner and work on your swing, but that's just my opinion.

If you fight a slice (right handed golfer always hitting it on a curve from left to right) then the draw would work well. If you slice it at least 80% of the time, then go for the draw. If you push the ball - doesn't curve, just goes right, or if you hit it straight 50% of the time or actually draw the ball ( curve from right to left) then go with the basic burner. I think you will be pleased with the club after deciding on which version your game needs.

I think people should get clubs that arent draw biased. How can your game improve in the long run if you use clubs right now that fix your slice for you now? People should just get regular clubs and work on their game because in the long run you will be a better golfer for it.
That is unless you have been golfing forever and just cant straighten your shot.

I would recommend you wait until October, if possible. Taylormade is scheduled to release its new Burner, then. Even if you don't like the new one, the previous model will be discounted and you can save a bundle.

FWIW, I was demoing some clubs and saw a Burner for $179.

Quoted for truth.

I would think that you would try to correct your slice than get something that corrects it for you?

Either way, if it's out there, I guess it's an option.
