I'm an amateur returning to golf after a 10 year hiatus. I went through a few drivers trying to find out what works for me. This Burner club was the first one that I can use with any consistency. I think the stiff shaft was the first that really worked for me. I find the sweet spot to be large and easy to find. I don't seem to knock it any farther than the other clubs that I tried, but I can contain the direction. I do like the stock grip. It has a square on it that helps me place my thumb in the same spot. There is a light spine underneath. Positioning my hands the same way every time really helps my consistency. I just recently bought the matching 3 wood version of this club.
The TaylorMade Burner 460 is beautiful in black with a unique design on the crown that doubles as aiming device. It has a low-profile appearance with new technology aerodynamics. It feels incredibly light, but hits very solidly. The 460 Burner feels like you can generate tremendous clubhead speed, even if you aren't actually doing it. It makes a nice, explosive sound on center impact. The Burner 460 has a very generous sweet spot, so off-center impact results in a relatively low, straight and long drive. Remember, no re-play cameras on "our" courses. How the golf ball got there and what the ball flight looked like are strictly your business. My drives are high, straight and really long--often over 290 yards! Incidently, the slightly closed-face is no obstacle to working the ball--fade or draw. As a side note, the paint on the sole lasts longer than on earlier Taylor-Made Drivers. There is also a Burner 460 Draw Driver for golfers fighting a slice. The Fujikura Re-AX 50 gram shaft is so light, you'll have to check to ensure club head is still attached. Recently, I had my Burner re-shafted with a Fujikura Fit-On E260 Flex-S shaft. Although it weighs 66-68 grams, the Fujikura E260 is slimmer and it has a mid/high kick point. Now, my drives fly slightly lower than with the Re-AX shaft. Because most factory-installed shafts and grips are cheap, I HIGHLY recommend you get fitted for a custom shaft and grip to maximum your results. After all, the club shaft is "the ENGINE that drives the car." By the way, the factory grip is thin to the point of near non-existence. I like the Golf-Pride DD2 and I love the GripMaster one-piece, Pro perforated leather grip. GripMaster is, by far, the tackiest grip I have used and it feels great. The headcover is huge and difficult to remove/reapply. Many after-market head covers will NOT easily fit it. I don't miss any of my previous drivers. TaylorMade simply seems to "own the corner" on driver technology these days and the Burner 460 is further evidence of TaylorMade Driver Dominance (TDD). Among drivers today, it may not get any better than this. It's still a great buy and I am not sure any of the newer Taylor-Made Drivers are any longer, more forgiving or more accurate. I hit my 460 Burner as far as I hit my Ping G10 driver. Dafoxyman "Beaten by skill, but NEVER by technology."Read full review
Excellent!!!!!!Love the Driver! Never had one! used a demo before! Always wanted to get one! 50grams suits my swing and small wrists. generates great clubhead speed without even trying. decided to buy it because losing distance with previous driver; great control but heavier shaft just didn't suit me. Furthermore, i live in New Zealand. the us dollar stronger and therefore i have saved over $200 on this purchase so purchasing golf equipment for me from states and on ebay is huge saver. more than makes up for time takes to get here on this side of the world. Have used the new driver only one round gained on average extra 40 yrds(please don't think this is exaggeration; im sure others testify to such a claim). would recommend burner to anyone who has limited shoulder turn clubhead speed 80-95 mph swing speed will easily gain extra 10-15 mph if not more. even though 2007 model just as great as 2009 model only difference i can see is that i think 2009 model slightly lighter by a gram but depends on the individual who buys it. that's my review hope it helps!!Read full review
Actually, I do like the Taylor Made Burner draw driver, 10 1/2°, and I rate it on a scale of 8/10.. One of the problems that I have had with this driver, is that sometimes I "sky" the ball off the tee? I haven't really been able to figure out why the ball "skies" on me, because I do tee it somewhat low. However, having said that, this club actually has improved my overall score, and I do have quite a bit of confidence when I get up to the tee. Of course, I never made any mention to any of my golf partners that I purchased this club, but they have noticed that I have gotten more distance off the tee, and so it has really helped me out. I definitely would give this club a "thumbs-up". Thanks
TaylorMade Burner Drivers are one of the better clubs I have purchased from TM. I play Burner Super launch irons and love them, I play Burner Rescue Hybrids and love them, Burner 3 wood same thing, but Burner drivers are a very good and hold the line well. I had a little trouble getting used to this driver but once dialed in it was fine. I eventually traded it for a Burner Superfast and WOW WOW WOW those babies are long and straight. But for the money this club is still a good buy.
