When you first pick up the TaylorMade Burner SuperFast driver you immediately notice that it is extremely light. So light, in fact, that it is 14 grams lighter than the TaylorMade Burner 2009 driver. Now, 14 grams is not very much, .03125 lbs actually, but when you compare this to other drivers the difference is astounding! With this difference in weight comes more speed in your swing, which equals longer distance on your drives. Not only is the club lighter, it is more aerodynamic as well. Take a look at the picture and you can see the cone shaped head which helps increase your club head speed by reducing drag throughout the different phases of your swing. These two changes help increase your swing speed without added effort.

The TaylorMade Burner Superfast 2.0 Driver features a 460cc head with an extremely light overall weight for any player looking for maximum distance and forgiveness. This Driver has a long shaft, with 279 grams of overall weight to promote a faster swing speed for more distance. The Burner Superfast 2.0 Driver has a deeper clubface that works.

Ok, enough about all of the technical mumbo-jumbo, let's get down to brass tacks here. How did the club hit? Amazing! All of the time that the TaylorMade engineers spent in designing one of the easiest clubs to swing has paid off. It feels like swinging a feather; a feather that was rocketing my golf ball down the range!

Burner Superfast Driver Swing Weight Control

My biggest concern was accuracy with the TaylorMade Burner SuperFast driver. I was worried that all of this new swing speed would result in my ball being a rocket without a guidance chip; out of control. It was actually the complete opposite. Now, you must remember that I am nowhere near being a professional golfer (golf is my favorite hobby) but I sure felt like one. I was swinging very hard and the ball was going very straight. I felt like I needed a guy behind me yelling 'GET IN THE HOLE!!' after the TaylorMade Burner SuperFast driver sent my golf ball into orbit.
But the best part about the TaylorMade Burner SuperFast is not only the increased swing speed, but the forgiveness the club gives you. The reason? The Burner SuperFast does not require a ton of spin on the ball to make it go further. So if you don't get your wrists through in time or if you're too early, there will not be excessive spin which causes slices and hooks. Thus, your miss-hits will not be as pronounced as they would have been.
Unfortunately for the TaylorMade Burner SuperFast, I was comparing it to the TaylorMade R9 SuperTri. I hit the Burner SuperFast first because I wanted to save the best for last. And to my surprise, I actually hit the Burner SuperFast the same as I hit the TaylorMade R9 SuperTri. The difference that you notice right away when you switch from the Burner SuperFast to the R9 SuperTri is, of course, the weight. I preferred the weight of the R9 SuperTri over the Burner SuperFast, but the adjustability of the Moveable Weight Technology (MWT) and the Flight Control Technology (FTC) are what make the club a little bit heavier. It is the first time that MWT and FTC have been incorporated in the same 460cc head. With these technologies, the TaylorMade R9 SuperTri superb adjustability and forgiveness.
When I hit the TaylorMade R9 SuperTri I was crushing the ball. I thought they were surpassing the Burner SuperFast drives, but they weren't. I was actually hitting them about the same distance. The one drawback of hitting the SuperTri was the fact that I was more inaccurate than I was with the Burner SuperFast. This fact surprised me. Even after tinkering with all of the adjustments, I was still fairly erratic with the SuperTri. I think that if I were to spend a great deal of time with the SuperTri and get all of the config-changes where I need them to be I would be more accurate. But the fact is, when you are testing a club at the range, you don't have that kind of time to adjust and re-adjust the weights.
So let's get to the results…

This was a close call for me. The sound and the config-change on the R9 SuperTri are unmatchable. They have a comparable distance, but I saw a few of the Burner SuperFast's going past the R9's on several occasions. The two deal breakers are the fact that I was drastically more accurate with the Burner SuperFast and the fact that the Burner SuperFast is much less expensive. Being a cost efficient golfer, which I will proudly say I am, I would choose the Burner SuperFast. But being a golf enthusiast and wanting the best driver I can find, I would still choose the Burner SuperFast.

(This Taylormade Burner Superfast Driver review wad added on 24 May 2014)

Back a few years ago (in 2010), TaylorMade Golf came out with a new driver called the Burner SuperFast driver. Even today, I remember that it got a lot of buzz among the players at my home course. At the time, I didn't have a chance to try one out because I was busy reviewing irons and putters, but I've always wanted to correct that particular oversight.

So, the first chance I got, I grabbed one from a buddy for testing purposes. This review is based on the notes I took while hitting it on the range and out on the course. After practicing with it for a while, I played two full rounds with my borrowed TaylorMade Burner SuperFast driver.
The specific club that I evaluated was a 10.5-degree with an R (regular) shaft flex. They also come in 9.5 degree and 'HT' lofts (signifying 'High Trajectory, I guess) and L (ladies), M (senior), S (stiff) and X (extra stiff) shaft flexes.

The first thing that struck me about this SuperFast driver was its softened-triangle, non-traditional head shape. The second was the longer than normal shaft length – 46.5 inches (45 inches is more typical). The third thing that hit me was the club's very light weight (TaylorMade says it weighs only 284 grams, which was the lightest driver the company ever made up to that time). Those were things I noticed right away, before I even took a single practice swing.
And you will want to practice before using this club in a round. In fact, you'll probably want to go to the driving range for a few sessions before taking it out onto the course. Because the shaft is longer and the club is lighter than normal, you'll probably need some practice to get used to it. You might get kind of frustrated at first. Stick with it, though, and you'll adjust to it.
Once you do, you might be amazed at what the driver can do. It's so light and well-balanced that it's really easy to swing, and the distance gains I saw were impressive (probably because the light weight and extra-long shaft caused my club head speed to be faster than it usually is).
On the downside, it can take some time to get used to swinging a driver with such a long shaft. And if you have a fast swing speed to begin with, the TaylorMade Burner SuperFast driver might be too light for you to handle well. Plus, while some golfers like the softened-triangle shape of the head, others are put off by it. I suspect it's just a matter of what you're used to and what you're willing to adjust to.
Cosmetically, if I remember correctly the Burner SuperFast driver was one of the last (if not the last) black-crowned drivers the company made. Shortly thereafter, TaylorMade shifted to matte-white crowns on their drivers and fairway woods. For me, the softened-triangle shape was easy to adjust to – and it's a far sight better than some of the off-the-wall head shapes I've seen. It's sleek and looks aerodynamic. According to TaylorMade, the head is 460cc and the face is the largest that the company had made up to that time.
The face seems like it has a lot of pop, and when I found the sweet spot my shots went straight and long. The trajectory was a pretty consistent medium-high ball flight. My misses – and I had quite a few of them at first - tended to fly off to the right, probably because the club's longer shaft makes it harder for average players to make square contact. Because the TaylorMade Burner SuperFast driver is meant to be played by average to high-handicap golfers, workability isn't one of its strong points. Feedback is present but muted.

Taylormade Burner Superfast Driver: The Bottom Line

The TaylorMade Burner SuperFast driver lived up to the distance gain claims the company made. The light weight and long shaft are meant to help golfers generate increased club head speed and more distance. I was regularly seeing drives that blew past my usual landing areas by 10 or 15 yards, and that's nothing to sneeze at. The light weight and longer shaft do make the club a little harder to control, so you may lose some accuracy in exchange for the additional yardage. Only you can know whether that tradeoff's worth it. For me, it would be. I think the 2010 TaylorMade Burner SuperFast driver is a good option for straight hitters who want longer drives.
