    TaylorMade Burner SuperFast TP DriverSleek Black Finish and Tour Preferred Face Alignment Combined with Burner SuperFast’s Aerodynamic Head

    TMAG Press Release – CARLSBAD, Calif. (May 18, 2010) – TaylorMade Golf is launching a TP version of its popular Burner SuperFast driver. Available to tour pros since March, the Burner SuperFast TP has been put in play by Retief Goosen, Y.E. Yang, Rory Sabbatini, Mike Weir, Pat Perez, Jason Day, Fred Funk, Justin Rose and Vaughn Taylor. Yang used it in April to win the Volvo China Open on the European Tour.

    “The players who have put Burner SuperFast TP in play have done so mostly because they’re getting more ball speed and distance with it,” said Keith Sbarbaro, TaylorMade’s vice president of tour operations. “The aerodynamics of the head promote more clubhead speed, and the big face and high MOI allow them to go after the ball more. Vaughn Taylor has never been considered a long hitter. A player came to our tour trailer and asked for a Burner SuperFast TP because he couldn’t believe how far Vaughn was hitting it past him in a practice round.”

    TaylorMade Burner SuperFast TP DriverThe Burner SuperFast TP features a fast, aerodynamic head shape, expansive clubface and slightly open clubface alignment. The inner side of the clubface incorporates TaylorMade's renowned Inverted Cone Technology, which promotes faster ball speed on off-center hits. The Burner SuperFast TP driver also incorporates TaylorMade's proven Dual-Crown technology, which both lowers and pulls back the center of gravity to promote a higher launch angle and less spin. Introduced in the TaylorMade Tour Burner driver two years ago, and also used in the Burner 09, Dual Crown technology is tremendously valuable. The Burner SuperFast TP driver is finished entirely in black, including the sole and clubface, and features a tour-inspired crown graphic and the famous TP logo on the toe. TaylorMade Burner SuperFast TP DriverNew Matrix Shaft Configuration Promotes Piercing Ball Flight Also critical to the Burner SuperFast TP driver's performance are its new Matrix shaft configurations, which promote a piercing, Tour-like ball flight and a stable feel. The Matrix HD6 (65 grams) shaft is in the S and X flexes, while the Matrix XCON 5 (54 grams) is the standard R-flex shaft. At 46.0" in length, Burner SuperFast automatically promotes a wide swing arc to promote increased clubhead speed. Available in three right-handed lofts (8.5, 9.5, 10.5) and one left-handed (9.5). Availability begins on May 15, 2010 at a street price of $349. I am still in the testing stages with this driver, but I can say the results have been very favorable so far. The feel is classic TaylorMade with a muted click at impact. This driver is workable and produces a nice controlled trajectory, with low spin. Stay tuned for a full review of the Burner SuperFast TP & the new SuperDeep Driver very soon!

  • TaylorMade Introduces The Burner SuperFast Driver

    TaylorMade golf has been hard at work in their labs developing yet another driver to help golfers hit the ball further. The Burner name has been around since TaylorMade has been making metal clubs, and the Burner has been a very popular driver both on the professional tours and at the local muni. For 2010, TaylorMade is introducing the latest and greatest version of the Burner, named SuperFast.

    The new Burner SuperFast driver is not only lighter than the previous Burner by 14 grams, it’s also longer. the Superfast now comes standard with a Matrix Ozik XCon 4.8 that measures 46.5 inches long. Remember your grandpa’s wooden driver with a steel shaft? That was 43″ long. The modern standard for drivers in at 45 inches, but TaylorMade is pushing the envelope with a driver at 46.5. The longer the shaft, the faster the club swings and the more distance you can create. There is a point of diminishing returns of course – the longer the shaft the heavier it gets, and the harder it is to swing fast. TaylorMade is counteracting this basic physics problem by installing the sub 50gram Matrix XCon 4.8 and a lightweight 30 gram grip.

The face area of the club is also the largest that TaylorMade Golf has ever produced, making forgiveness and gall speed easier to attain. With a 46.5 inch shaft, you'll need that forgiveness to hit it solid. This driver is squarely aimed at amateur golfers seeking more distance. Period. Will it live up to it's claims? We'll see! Once we have a review unit available we'll put it through it's paces! The TaylorMade Burner SuperFast driver will be available in three lofts - 9.5, 10.5 and High trajectory. The MSRP will be around $299, making it a cheaper option to the new R9 SuperTri at $399.
