Left Handed TaylorMade Tour Burner Fairway Wood's Review

The 2008 TaylorMade Burner Fairway Wood features Dual Crown Technology that weighs less than a typical crown. Saved weight is redistributed to give the 2008 Burner a 35% lower CG (center of gravity) than the previous Burner, promoting a higher launch and higher flight for more carry and distance. Meanwhile, the fast-looking triangular shaped head permits an even lower CG placement, making it even easier to get a solid launch.

Boasting the largest size and footprint of any TaylorMade steel fairway, the 2008 Burner Fairway has a 6% higher MOI (moment of inertia) than previous Burner fairway models for increased forgiveness on off-center hits.

The SuperFast shaft and Arrow 2 ultra-light grip each promote faster swing speed for increased distance.

The Burner fairway woods also boast what TaylorMade calls "Ultra-Thin Wall technology" meaning the walls of the clubhead is a measly .55 millimeters, making them easier to generate some serious clubhead speed.

The last feature is a "fast-looking" triangular head shape that due to its larger size should help to give you more confidence when addressing the ball and also provides more forgiveness, which is something we could all use a bit more of. The Burner Tour Launch has a more compact head shape and the center of gravity (CG) location that is a bit more forward than the High Launch.

Generating more swing speed is what is needed for more distance and both Burner fairway woods incorporate TaylorMade's SuperFast technology to help with that. The Burner High Launch comes standard with a SuperFast 49-gram graphite shaft (available in Senior, Regular and Stiff flex) while the Burner Tour Launch comes with a 70-gram graphite shaft (available in Regular, Stiff and X-Stiff flex). Lightweight shafts in addition to the thin walls should help nicely in your quest for some additional distance.

The Burner High Launch fairway woods are available for righties and lefties in 3-wood (15), 5-wood (18) and 7-wood (21) varieties and will set you back about $200.. The Tour Launch fairway woods come in a TS model (Tour Spoon) at 13, T3 (14.5), and T5 (17.5) for both righties and lefties (with the exception of the Tour Spoon which is only available for righties) and will set you back about $200 as well. Both are available right now so go out and give them a test drive (after you finish reading this article first).
