I like my driver and all, but at the same time I don't like it. It has that annoying "clank" to it, and it just doesn't seem to jump off of my driver anymore (not that it ever did). The only time it ever felt good was 15 minutes after I purchased it. I went to the range and started bombing balls with it. Ever since then it's gone down the tube.

That being said I'm trying to convince my best friend to trade his Burner ('07 model) with me. I love that thing. I smash it off of the tee, and it feels so nice. Hopefully I'll get him to trade since it seems like he likes my driver too.

Any opinions?

I like both drivers a lot, I would pick the burner though. The burner seems less workable though.

Yeah when I hit my Sumo I'll hit it somewhat straight but it just dies. When I hit the Burner it fades slightly but it goes.

well fyi, if you have any cash, you can get a brand new tour burner with a v2 shaft on ebay for 200 bucks. thats a deal considering its a great driver with an amazing aftermarket shaft.

Have you thought of selling your current driver, then finding a used 07 burner, I'm sure with the money you would make from selling your driver. It would be close to the price of an used 07 burner.

07 burners are amazing clubs I wa absoulutley crushing mine yesterday if your friend is smart he will not trade with you, but I would suggest just selling your driver and getting a used burner you will be down like 20 to 40$ though. The thing about nike drivers is that after a season their prices drop so much, they are going for like $60 in ebay.

Just a word of advice. The burner has a huge closed face. If you start to fix your swing flaws, you will be left all day. I wouldn't buy a TM driver again, G10 is my bet.

Driver: Taylormade R11 set to 8*

It looks like he wants to, but the other kid (the kid with the r7) I'm trying to convince him to trade and maybe give him my T.P. Mills putter (since it's a great putter, and he needs a good putter).

Trust me I have had both drivers you are talking about the burner is atleast 10 to 15 yardslonger than the r7 I think it is worth the slight loss of workability, some people say that the burner has too much of a closed face (true) but with a neutral swing you should only get like 4to 5 yards of draw with the burner.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.
