Taylor Made Burner Tour

Taylor Made Tour Burner Driver New for 2008 the Tour Burner drivers features a large black head more reminiscent of their r7 driver. TaylorMade's Sean Toulon says that the new Tour Burner is designed to help give the average club golfer a leg-up in his never-ending search for more distance. "Tour pros hit the ball long because their launch conditions are comprised of fast ball speed, with a high launch angle and low spin-rate. "The Tour Burner driver is engineered to help the average golfer generate tour-calibre launch conditions in order to promote tour-calibre distance." The main difference between the new models and last year's Burner, Taylor Made claim, is the revolutionary 'Dual Crown', which is noticeably smaller than the sole. A noticeable delineated groove encircles the 460c clubhead, separating the crown and sole. The smaller crown is 12% lighter than last year's equivalent and the walls of the head are also lighter, measuring as little as .55 millimetres thick. The weight saved by the Dual Crown and ultra-thin wall technologies has been redistributed to create a low centre of gravity on a vertical axis with the CofG being 40 per cent lower than is the case with the old Burner TP. The 'Tour Burner' also features a SuperFast 60-gram shaft that combines low torque (2.8) with a stiff .350" tip, an extra-light grip and a 45.5-inch shaft as standard.
