Taylor made Burner VS. Cleveland Monster opinions

[YamahaJay]

If you have hit both,give your opinions. Which is longer? Which is more forgiving? What is your swing speed? I have a Burner,and have hit the Monster and the guy at Dicks claims the Monster is 10-15 yards longer than the 07 Burner that I have. I have only hit the Monster on the simulator and am looking for opinions of those who have hit both on-course. I need to pick up a new driver for the upcomming season and am split between the Burner and Monster. My burner is a draw version because I had a slice,but by the end of the year I fixed my swing and now i'm usually 20-30 yards left of the fairway when i'm aming for the center so I am going to a normal driver this year. I like the Burner a lot but hear the Monster is straighter and longer, so says the "Pro" at Dicks. My SS is 112mph and I use a stock Fuji stiff flex now ball flight is just about perfect or a little high(definatly not low,might be a tad to high). Opinions????????????

I own an '07 Burner an XL Hibore, and have hit the Monster. I'd say they're close in distance and forgiveness, both very good in both respects. The Monster hits the ball a little higher, but tough to say considering shafts are different as well. The Burner definitely has more closed face.

Obviously, everyone's swing is different, but I recently compared the Monster, the Hi Bore, a Cobra S9-1 M and a Burner (along with a couple other drivers). Going in, I was pretty convinced I'd be walking out with the S9-1 or perhaps the Hi Bore, but my results with the Burner were surprisingly straighter, longer and more consistent (Reg flex shafts, 10.5 loft). My average length with the Burner was 230, which is great for me. Granted all were compared on a simulator, and I realize the true test will come on the course, but for me at least it was an eye opener. The difference in the feeling of swinging the Burner was just so much better for me .

I hit them both as well, and I also thought the Monster hit the ball a bit higher. I tend to hit the ball high off the tee anyways, and the Monster accentuated that, and I was knocking satellites out of the sky. The 9.5 degree burner was lower and more piercing. You have to hit them both a bunch, and figure out which works better for you.

I haven't played them myself, but I friend has...She plays about 3-4 rounds a week has a 10 HC, swing speed is about 98mph, and she transitioned from the 07 Burner, to the FT9, to R9, to the Monster in the past 18 months, and she claims that the Monster is the best driver she has ever played....been playing for about 15 yrs.

Thats my 2 cents
