TAYLOR MADE - ADIDAS GOLF BURNER DRIVER

When TaylorMade-Adidas Golf introduced not one, but two, new drivers at this year’s PGA Merchandise Show, the message went something like this: 1) If you are a precision-oriented strategist on the golf course, play the r7 SuperQuad; 2) If you are a grip it and rip it kind of guy, the Burner or Burner TP is for you. And while the SuperQuad has become the more well known of the two, thanks in great part to its r7 Quad predecessor, the Burner just might be the better choice for most golfers. The clubhead (lighter than most) is large, but in an elongated way. The bullet-like shape places the center of gravity well behind the sweet spot, which produces a high launch angle and terrific ball speed, even on off-center hits. The technology along with the unique line design atop the Burner clubhead delivers a feeling of confidence that allows the golfer to, well, grip it and rip it. www.tmag.com.
