Taylor Made Burner Tour Launch fairway wood. New for 2008, Taylor Made has introduced the next generation of Burner fairway wood, available in two versions: High Launch, engineered to make it easy to launch the ball on a high, long-carrying flight at average swing speeds; and Tour Launch, engineered to promote the kind of lower, penetrating and workable ball flight that skilled players with higher swing speeds prefer.
Burner High Launch and Burner Tour Launch fairway woods share several key performance elements. First is Dual Crown technology, wherein the size of the crown is noticeably smaller than the large sole. Second is Ultra-Thin Wall technology, which allows the clubhead walls to measure as thin as just .55 millimetres.
All of the weight saved by Dual Crown technology and Ultra-Thin Wall technology is redistributed to create an exceptionally deep CG location that’s also 35% lower than previous comparable Burner fairway woods, making both of these new clubs extremely easy to hit while promoting a lower spin-rate for longer distance.
Both new Burner fairway woods feature a fast-looking triangular Burner head shape that looks large when positioned behind the ball, to inspire confidence. The new Burner Tour Launch features a slightly more compact head shape with a more forward CG location, elements that are preferred by better players
