Taylormade Burner vs Burner Draw?

Question

I am in high school and play on the team. I hit normally around a 50-53 on 9. Im in a little slump with my irons but once i get that fixed i should hit about a 48-50 on 9. I have a $50 wilson driver and i hit it about 250, if i have a good day on the range i can get it to go straight sometimes, but on the course i always go right. I was looking to get the Taylor Made Burner, or the Burner Draw. What is the difference? Which would be better for me? I read on the internet the Draw gives u too much draw and u end up going left is this true?

I know i should try it out myself and i am but i just want to know the difference and get some opinions from people who aren't hired to sell me a club.

Answer 1

Try to see if you can take out a demo club of each to try in real conditions.  My wife is a 3 handicap, but her drives always had a fade or tail to them.  She uses the Taylor draw and hits it very straight now.  I would also recommend the regular Burner and work on fixing the swing.  This will benefit you more in the long run.

Answer 2

Buying a new driver will not help you cure your slices. I suggest invest on a golf lesson first. I have same problem with you I bought the TM Burner Draw knowing to fix my slice but didn't work, so I signed up for a golf lesson in Golf Galaxy for $99 (4 Lessons) believe me just after the second lesson I fixed my slices. I bet you if you signed up for golf lesson you can still used that $50 wilson driver. Good Luck!

Answer 3

go with the regular burner...as you improve you can hit a draw without the perimeter weighting...as for your scores, i would work a little harder and get them down to 43-45

Answer 4

its not much of a difference into the burner and burner draw. i bought the taylormade burner not to long ago and i actually hit it better than the draw and i hit a huge fade and sometimes a slice. I am a high school golf player and like u i play for the team. you should go to Academy sporting goods, that or u could go to d**k's sporting goods they will normally have a place where u can try out the clubs and a computer that tells u were the ball goes and a lot of different stuf that could help u with what Burner u get.

Answer 5

A new driver won't just fix a slice or any other bad shots just like that.

Grab a quick lesson to start with that will help.

When picking the club you want, go to a pro shop with a machine which can see the ball flight, angle, distance, line etc and then the pro can tell you which club is suitable more for your swing.

You might find that you will hit the Wilson better than the more expensive club.

This happened to me. I wanted an R7 driver, and the machine told me I couldn't hit it in the air and I was only hitting 180yards scoring 30/100 on my shots.

The pro worked out what I needed and gave me a much cheaper Jack Nicklous club that I was hitting 280yards with scores at 80/100.

Thats proof that the bigger name brands do not mean the best.

Taylormade Burner Draw is designed to make you hit a draw, so it can't make you hit it too far left unless you have a natural shot to the left

Answer 6

If you hit a slice you should get the taylormade burner draw because it is supposed make you not slice. My dad went to a sports store and they said that is what the draw is for, people who slice.  He bought that club and he never slices.
