TM Tour Burner vs. Tour Burner TP

[danieldsuh]

Hello everyone,

Tonight I hit a TM Tour Burner 10.5 driver at the range. It had the silver face so I'm assuming it was TP. The shaft said S flex and then 75. Does the 75 denote the weight of the shaft? Can anyone tell me which shaft this is?

I've been doing some browsing online and the only shaft I can find on that driver is the Diamana White 65. I'm assuming the shaft I was hitting tonight would have said 65 instead of 75 if it was the Diamana. Is that correct?

What is the difference between the tour burner and tour burner TP?

Thanks for looking and any help!

Well i know the 65 and the 75 represent how heavy the shafts are. 65 grams and 75 grams.

Most drivers have a silver face or did you mean a silver shaft? The Tour Burner TP comes with a high end shaft instead of the normal TM RE*AX shaft. The Tour Burner TP also sits more open than the non-TP version. If you fight a slice then the non-TP version would be best for you.

I think the regular tour burner has a black face and the TP version has a silver face. The shaft was the regular black tri color TM shaft. I do fight a slice sometimes but with the TP version I was hitting last night my ball was flying straight with a good launch angle. What I'd really like to know is A) what shaft was on that club and B) how different the non TP version would perform for me.

Maybe you were looking at the Rombax 75g shaft. At this point, you seem quite confused and your best bet would be to go back to the golf range where you hit it and find the exact specs.

I'm even more confused after seeing the picture you posted. I'll definitely go back and check it out but when I was there the person at the pro shop didn't know anything.

These are the pictures that I have seen online. Notice the differences in the two clubs circled in red. Also these pictures show the non TP version with a black face and the TP version with a silver face. Regular: TP:

I'll make it easy for you. The driver head is the exact same on the Tour Burner and the TP version. The only difference is if you look above at the posted pictures.... look at the picture that has the view like you would see when you take your stance. The Tour Burner as a little flame art decal used to judge the center..... theTP version has a "TP" logoed instead of that little flame.

Aside from that, the TP is abotu 2* open face and the Tour burner is aobut 2* closed.

Further, the Tour Burner only comes in one shaft option in different flexes. The TP version comes in 3 (or maybe 4... but pretty sure its 3) shaft options of premium shafts. And the shafts all look the same as well! They are made for Taylormade versions with the same cosmetics. If you look on the back of the shaft near the grip it tells you the brand diamana, fujukura,... etc. and the model whiteboard, rombax, reax superfast.... etc. And the number that indicates weight... like 65, 75, 85... or whatnot.

I went back last night and it was a regular burner head with a fujikura rombax 75 shaft installed. The pro shop offered to sell it to me for 100 but I think I can get it for less. The head has some marks on it..does anyone think this would be a good deal?

[anthonykim3]

yeah its a good deal actually i am in canada so what's that like 150 canadian maybe not such a great deal

[wrx_junki]

If you hit it well, I think its definitely worth it.

[danieldsuh]

I also hit the R9 last night and really liked that one as well. Now I am conflicted...

[danieldsuh]

Pictures are bad quality but this is the driver I was hitting. Figured out that it was a regular tour burner head on a TP Fujikura Rombax 75 shaft.







Now I'm trying to decide between purchasing this driver for really cheap, getting a new tour burner with this shaft, or th R9.

OK, I have owned both. There is a slight difference in the heads, the TP is .335 hosel ID and the retail is .350. I owned a TP and it has in letters for an alignment TP in red and yellow. Mine sat dead square. That is a real Rombax painted in TMTP graphics and looks like it has a fast-fit system hosel for demos, it's probably worth $100 itself or close to it. I have now a regular TB and it sits pretty square in the 9.5*, they close more the higher the loft. Also whoever said the regular comes in 1 shaft and different weights is wrong I have one with a REAL Diamana Blue Board in it and it came straight from the factory that way.
