What is the difference between the TP version of the burner woods and the regular versions? I know that the TP version has a slightly different loft (3W TP is 14.5* vs 15*). Other then the different loft, is there any difference? Are the TP versions harder to hit? I've hit both the TP and Regular versions off of mats at the range and didn't really feel any difference.

Non-TP will also have a closed face (1* or so). TP's will play slightly open (1*-2*).

So if I can get the nonTP and TP at the same price would it be better to get the TP since it has a better shaft? I havent had any problems hitting the TP off of a mat, but just haven't tried it in actual play.

The TPs come with a better shafts. I believe that is the big difference.

I don't know so much that it is a better shaft, I think they are the same brand of shaft, the TP are a heavier shaft then the Non-TP.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

If you draw the ball, probably but if you play a fade I would stay away from the TP as those will just encourage your fade.

Ok thanks for the advice guys!

The difference is that the TP version has a MUCH better shaft and is also 2 degrees open, have played both and brought the TP version! If i had my time again though, the TP is not worth the extra the money, IMO get the Normal Burner and then get it reshafted to the shaft that works for you.

I think the TPs also have a lower center of gravity if I'm not mistaken.

Actually I believe it is higher center of gravity, because most "tour" players would want something lower launching.

Way to contradict? You say its a way better shaft, but then to buy a normal and reshaft. That would cost much more then getting a TP in the first place.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
