Just found a link to the new Burner 2009 range of drivers from reading about Dustin Johnsons WITB on the TM website:

http://www.taylormadegolf.com/produc...overview&sr;=eu


I wasn't an immediate fan of the Tour Burner (hence sticking to the Burner 07) but with a Burner 08 fairway wood (T5) on demo in my bag, i've grown accustomed the triangular shape - I can't wait to try the 09!

What y'all think?

WEAPONS:
Taylormade R9 10.5 L Grafalloy Prolaunch Platinum stiff 65g

I was just looking at that today. I think it looks good. Time will tell, of course, re: performance. But it looks promising.
Having said that, If I splash out for a new driver soon its more likely to be the Dymo, one of the 909's, or the Rapture V2.
Whats in the bag:

Driver: Nike Ignite 460cc 10.5* Fujikura Ignite reg flex
Fairway woods: Howson tour master power series 3,5 woods
Irons: MacGregor M675 3-PW DG S300 Wedges: Mizuno MP-R Black Nickel 54.10, 60.05Putter: Pinfire Golf P4Ball: Titleist NXT TourHome Course:http://www.golfarmagh.co.uk/...

I have the 08 Tour Burner and I love it. It maybe took a few swings to start to forget about the different look and start to enjoy the results this thing helps to achieve. Very solid driver, I'm sure the 09 version will be even better. Gotta love technology, they just keep pushing the envelope don't they?!

Right now I am in Oregon, an in the area that I am staying at there is a big store and they had the '09 Burner's, and every employee that I asked about that said that it is not as solid a driver as the Tour Burner. They all said that it doesn't preform as good as the Tour Burner. Because of these comments I didn't demo it so I cannot offer my personal comments.

Here's what I play:

I expected this, as most pros will tell you that the recent improvements in clubs has been the shafts, not the clubs.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%!

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
