Burner/TP golf balls

[Sandwedge74]

hi- has anyone here experienced that these balls are unusually longer than other golf balls?? I usually play prov1's and today I found a taylormade burner tour golf balls - i hit it off the tee and it seemed 10 yards longer - also then hit my 4 iron with it and had the same result - any thoughts??

I love them, and they seem just as long, though I haven't sensed them being really significantly longer than others. I also have been trying all the low spin premiums, V1X, B330, One Black, Tour Ix, etc., and , for my game, I haven't found the premies to be worth the price over the Burner TP's. There is more spin from the premies around the green, but not enough for me to switch from the drastically lower proced Burner TP. Approach shots seem to be similar, with a check and stop within a foot or two, with some backup occasionally. Drives seem to be a little straighter with the TP. YMMV.

I used to use them before I started buying used Pro V1s. I tried all the 3-piece balls in the $30 range and the Burner TP was the best I found (close second was the TF Gamer, but they get chewed up real fast), but now that I've started using used Pro V1's I won't go back, and even with shipping and tax from lostgolfballs (since we are both in Houston) the used Pro V's are cheaper when bought in bulk. I really didn't see any distance difference between any of the balls, just short game spin on partial shots - the burners spin as much as a Pro V on full shots but not on partial pitches.

I often use these in practice rounds when I don't care about losing balls. They're better than the other cheapie balls and they feel "okay."

I've been playing them for a while now and are a great value. 2 doz for $45. They don't spin as good as a ProV1 but for half the price they are definitely worth it. Right now I'm trying to figure out which is longer between the TP Burner and the B-330 RX. I love the feel and spin of the RX over the TP Burner.

Don't like the burner golf balls at all, too hard.

I like the TP reds, decent amount of spin and cheap.

I use the TP Red and i think those are farther than the ProV1's, but i've never really tried the Burners.

They aren't bad, but I'm not exactly thrilled about them. I haven't noticed any distance differences between them and my ProV1x's, but if you get an extra 10 yards I wouldn't stop using them.

I agree about the price, I got my premies from lostgolfball.com. I also tend to agree with your spin analysis, as the premies generally separate themselves from the mid range balls on partial shots. As I was testing the V1X's, among others, I think that the difference was a little less than if I would have been comparing the V1's.

Good analysis. Gary
