Superquad if you want to tinker with the weight, Tour Burner is you want to BOMB it, and the Callaway is somewhere in between there. I would personally go with the Superquad, only because I would like to play around with the weights.

Overall: All very good drivers.

Good Luck

i really liked the burner when i was trying out drivers. i dont know enough about the weighting systems to fool around with those so i would go with the burner.

I'm a fan of the SuperQuad. Wish I could get one myself. Don't really like the shape of the Tour Burner at address.

I vote for the FT-5 (or next year's FT-9). Get the I-Mix version if you want a little more versatility. Both are good clubs and you'll likely be happy with either.

Which one do you think I should get r7 superquad, Callaway Ft-5 or Taylormade Tour Burner.

I've played all three before. I would rule out the FT-5, it feels very hollow and not meaty compared to the Taylormade drivers. If you can get over that, it's a true bomber. My Tour Burner TP had the wrong shaft so I never hit a good drive with it. However, it felt solid. The Superquad is just a very solid and long driver. I never owned one but hit my friends many times. The black finish sure looks cool. I've reverted back to my r7 Quad because it felt so good at impact.


I have the r7 Quad and it is the best driver ive ever owned. It has such a good feel when striking the ball. My vote is for the r7 Quad

I couldn't recommend the Callaway because I've never hit it before, but I've had both the Superquad and the Tour Burner. I'd recommend the Tour Burner over the superquad only because it hit a little longer for me.

I have the Tour Burner and its a great club for me. An issue that some may have with it is that it is square as opposed to closed a degree or so. I'm not certain on the orientation of the other clubs...but if one doesn't release properly...one will have issues with losing balls out to the right.

Besides that...i enjoy the sub-460cc head and the stock shaft fits a wide range of swings.

That's what I'm having problems now with my burner. I'm thinking of getting the FTi from callaway, especially now it's reduced in pricing.

I can only speak on behalf of the R7. I had the superquad for almost a year and never did get to where I liked it. I have tried the other 2 in the stores on the monitor so it wouldn't be fair to give an assessment of those 2.

My issue with the R7 was it seemed to create too much spin. Left or right. The ball never held a straight line it was one way or the other. I see your handicap is a bit lower than mine so it may be something you like if your wanting to work the ball off the tee.

I had many long hits, as long as any other clubs I tried but again I couldn't control it even with making weight adjustments. I found a weight setup that I liked the best but it still got to the point where I was afraid to hit off the tee on tight holes. Only my opinion, to each is his own.

    • So far, it's looking pretty even.  The first weekend (the one in May) is probably out, but the others all seem to work in general.  I'll give it until the end of a week for votes and then pick one.
    • Day 181 - 2025-03-30 Got a little work in while the kids were playing their final round(s). Then drove for awhile. I-95 sucks.
    • Day 8: 3/30/25 After some poor putting yesterday I worked on some distance control drills today along with putting through 50 mm gates.
    • So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.
    • A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
