The looks and colour scheme on top of the head divided opinion among our testers, with some liking the modern looks and others put off by the red line on the crown. We found the performance to be very good with great sound and feel and a nice trajectory. To help with this, the Burner Superfast driver also has TaylorMade's largest face they have ever made on a driver and combined with the inverted cone technology, the extra forgiveness does well to keep the ball on the straight and narrow. TaylorMade say that is OK as the feedback they got from the market was that amateurs wanted distance over accuracy and were quite happy to play from the semi-rough a bit further down the fairway. However there is a downside to all this in that the shot dispersion is likely to be wider than the R9 driver range as the longer shaft was definitely be harder to control by our posse of testers. The club is also lighter at well under 300 grams thanks to a lighter 48 gram shaft. The shaft is 1 inch longer than usual and this is really noticeable at address. ![]() TaylorMade say this club is all about distance and there are several features that help it live up to this claim. The distinctive elongated head looks like Chris Hoy's helmet, but we like it and it helps provide the low deep centre of gravity that gives this club the extra forgiveness it needs. The TaylorMade Burner Superfast driver is a worthy successor to the iconic Burner name.
