Do You Like Taylormade Tour Bunner TP Driver?

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," said Sean Toulon, TaylorMade's executive vice president of innovation and product creation. "The Tour Burner driver is engineered to help the average golfer generate tour-caliber launch conditions in order to promote tour-caliber distance.

The TaylorMade Tour Burner TP driver head's exceptionally high MOI makes it extremely stable and forgiving on off-centre hits. The Tour Burner TP's clubface is engineered 2° open, while the standard Tour Burner's face is square. That benefit, combined with the advantage provided by TaylorMade's renowned Inverted Cone clubface technology, results in even higher ball speed on off-centre hits. Inverted Cone Technology, characterized by a shallow cone milled directly onto the inner side of the clubface, changes the way the face behaves at impact so that a larger area of the face delivers higher ball speed.

The TaylorMade Golf Tour Burner TP Driver has a dual crown made of titanium, 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 .335-inch tip shaft with three weights offers an open clubface alignment.

The combined benefits of the Tour Burner TP driver's high MOI and Inverted Cone Technology result in what TaylorMade calls "effective MOI," or "eMOI," that exceeds 5800 (the USGA's limit on MOI is 5900). TaylorMade's definition of eMOI is the positive influence on ball speed on off-centre hits that's exerted by the combined effects of a driver's MOI and clubface technology (versus constant-thickness clubfaces).

The weight saved by the Tour Burner TP driver's Dual Crown and Ultra-Thin Wall technologies is redistributed to create an exceptionally low CG location among the lowest ever in a TaylorMade driver. On a vertical axis, the Tour Burner's CG is positioned 40% lower in relation to the center of the clubface than the Burner TP.

The Tour Burner's large sole serves a second valuable purpose by creating an expansive address footprint that promotes increased confidence, and the advanced clubhead geometry delivers the kind of great impact sound and feel for which TaylorMade drivers are famous.

In a word, If you are looking for a new driver, this Taylormade club may be your right answer.
