I'm currently looking into buying a new driver.

I swung a Taylormade Burner 1.0 at Sportchek and liked it.  http://www.sportchek.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=18005506

But when I google Taylormade Burner 1.0, I get pics of a black club, unlike the Sport Chek one that is white.

The sportchek one looks like the 2.0.

What's the deal? is the one at Sportchek a re-issue? or is it specially made for sportchek?  any difference between it and the black one?

Yeah the first burner is black, this 1.0 is made for Sportschek.  From what I've heard it's made with cheaper metals.

Thanks for the reply.  Does the cheaper metals significantly reduce the quality of the club?  or is it something that can't be noticed by a recreational golfer?

Seriously, why buy a cheaply made club, you can get a driver for $200 used at your local golf stores, or online at sites like GlobalGolf and they will be superior quality.

Buy a geek golf driver head, (ie FS3 or DCT) take it to a fitter to choose the right shaft and voila! Brand new solid Custom made quality golf club that will last you years...and half the price of the latest model!

Please explain what a "geek driver head" is and how do they differ from all other driver heads.

Look up "geek golf" they make component heads, well known and successful within the long drive community, but not as well known in regular golf, they're solid well made heads, hence the lifetime guarantee, come in all lofts, and are reasonably priced! But they don't make clubs, you have to buy the head then get a shaft to suit ya swing, I did it the start of this year and never looked back, driving is now the strongest part of my game, I can personally recommend the FS3, low spin, very forgiving and the ball just jumps of the face! I've yet to hear a bad report!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.

      Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.

      Trackman place today. I broke my tripod so could only film by hand the video the venue’s cameras generated. This is an 8 iron. Amazing how odd this feels relative to how it looks. Not similar!
