Taylormade Burner SuperFast Vs. R9

[JaredSS]

I currently have a R9(not the 460) that I play with and like it pretty well. I found a Burner Super Fast on Ebay yesterday that was just too cheap to pass up(the guy was quitting golf and didn't really know how to market clubs). So anyways, I bought it and I'm looking forward to hitting it, if I don't like it I will have no trouble getting my money back. Just wondering if anybody had any experience with the two of them and which one they preferred. Thanks

Bought a Superfast, and couldn't it at all.. the shaft was like 48 or 52 grams or something.. too light for me (106mph swing speed). pulling it every time.

Demo'd a R9 tp (with the Fuji 65 gram shaft), and same natural swing, problems gone. straight with a slight fade)

just my experience.. not that I have a pretty swing or anything though :)

While I was getting my driver fitted last week, I tried out the Superfast for fun and man...what a boom stick. My swing speed is at roughly 115 and I was getting roughly 10 yards more on average, long and straight.
From what I hear and read, the added length to the shaft and weight of the shaft certainly doesn't make it the easiest driver to control but if you have a good driver swing, it bombs balls like nobodys business.

From the reviews I've read it sounds like the club is almost designed for a slower swing....

its light and long so it can be beneficial for slower swingers in increasing distance. However, that comes with a disadvantage which si that lighter and longer shafts are harder to control. I think this driver would be perfect in the hands of someone who has a good swing but is looking to add some distance.

I was in the same situation as you. I had the Callaway X460 driver and always wanted the Super Fast but didn't want to pay the price. Then I found on on EBay at an absolute STEAL. I took it to the range and fell in love. My problem with driving is I try to kill the ball every time. My problem was when I tried to kill the ball with the Callaway club I ended up hitting a poor drive. I found myself doing that from time to time at the range but the results were much better. Once I made myself not kill the ball I was blown away with the performance. I know its not a comparison to the R9 but I just wanted to give you my point of view.
