Anybody know the difference between the 08 and 09 Burner drivers?
I have a new 08 Burner #3 wood that I really like and hit well. But researching the drivers,
I'm wondering what, if any, the real difference is.
Thanks.

Burner 2.0 Graphite 4-AW
09 Burner 10.5*
08 #3 Burner 15*
09 Burner 3H
09 Burner 4H

I believe the '08 was the "tour burner" and the '09 is just a "regular" burner. The bottom of the club of the '08 is black while the '09 has the red stripes on them. The 07 had silver stripes. The shaft offerings may be slightly different. You need a spreadsheet to keep up with TMs driver releases. Keep in mind, the shaft gets longer every year. I think it's up to 46.5" in this year's 2010 model. Last year was 46.25".
The '09 comes in 9.5 and 10.5 lofts. I think they offer the '08 in a 8.5 as well.

The '09 is a little more triangular and was meant to be a little lighter and faster. I am more of a fan of the '08, FWIW.

With Taylor Made they seem to release a new club every quarter. I think they have as big of a cosmetic department as they do a R & D department. I have been told by some golf shop pro's and it makes since that every other year a manufacturer actually makes a significant improvement in their tech. You can't reinvent the wheel every year even though they all try.

The '08 does have "meaner" look to it. The '09 also has graphic "alignment" lines which help me out for some reason. The stock shafts are too light. I keep flip flopping about getting heavier shaft.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
