The open clubface makes it a tad harder to keep left. You need to play a cut unless you're very skillfull. I took it out for 18 for the first time yesterday and my first drive went 330+ dead center of the fairway leaving me with a wedge to the green. Had a couple nasty slices but I'm still a rookie. Overall this driver sounds and feels great when you hit it. I would recommend maybe a 9.5 instead of an 8.5 if you have trouble getting it into the air. And don't get an extra stiff flex if you don't hit it around 300. There is nothing bad to say about this club. The white crown and black face really make it easy to focus on alignment. The crown has an anti glare finish which is the first I've seen on the expensive drivers. The main difference between this tp club and the regular burner 2.0 is the shaft. This shaft will add 20 to 30 yards to your drive ATLEAST. Like I said the head is shaped differently and will give you more performance but almost requires you to hit a cut. All in all I have nothing bad to say about this club. All of my clubs are nike from 3 wood to wedge and my putter also, but I will never not have a taylormade driver in my bag after my experience with this monster.Read full review
Yes, these clubs really are beasts! I hit high on the face a lot but when it's in the center it's like Albert Pujols against Brad Lidge! Seriously, the only thing wrong with this club is that it has no adjustment features. It's true that it's an anti-draw club. I had the Ti-Bubble 2 Driver and it took the whole fairway to fit in my draw ball flight. Watch the shafts. The Diamana is a bit more anti-draw than the Blur 55. Poor Taylormade, this is a sleeper and they failed to recognize the need for tuneability.
Good club for experienced players. Most players hit a cut or slice but this club promotes that ball flight being toe weighted. It helps me straighten otu as my miss is kind of a snap at times so this club helps minimize it. I simply love this club but gave it a 4 as it isnt suited for all. If yo uarent accurate off the tee the longer shaft will make it tougher as well, but if yo uare accurate I get an extra 5-10 yards from the first superfast... good luck!
Price was such a steal, I couldn't resist buying the darn thing eventhough I has a Stiff Shaft. To my great surprise, I have been hiting the ball very well. Compared to my old Cobra, the ball seems to fly off the club face even when hit slighly off center. In life, as in golf, you're better off keeping it in the Fairway!
I bought the TP version with the Matrix HD6 shaft. I am a scratch golfer and play mostly tournament golf. The ball comes off the face on a line with very little spin. Launch it high for more carry and launch it low for lots of roll. It will be in my bag for a long while. It plays a little stiffer than I expected so I would definitely try it first if you can.
