The TaylorMade Golf Tour Burner Driver has a dual crown made of steel, and the weighted power-base promotes increased distance. The lower and precision-placed center of gravity offers a higher launch angle and lower spin, while the SuperFast Technology gives increased swing speed.
The exceptionally high MOI of the Tour Burner driver head makes it extremely stable and forgiving on off-center hits. During my tests at both the driving range and on the golf course my off-center hits still went straight and long, thanks to the high MOI. That benefit, combined with the advantage provided by TaylorMade's patented Inverted Cone Technology (ICT), result in even higher ball speed on off-center hits. Inverted Cone Technology is characterized by a shallow cone milled directly onto the inner side of the clubface and changes the way the face behaves at impact so that a larger area of the face delivers higher ball speed. Higher ball speeds leads to the tour-caliber distance we all desire.
The Tour Burner also features TaylorMade's SuperFast technology, embodied by the combination of a Fujikura SuperFast 60-gram shaft that combines low torque with a stiff .350 tip, an extra-light Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip and a club-length of 45.5. As mentioned before the club feels so light in your hand and looks svelte. Together these premium components promote faster swing speed for increased distance.
