Increased swing speed from TaylorMade Tour Burner Driver Review

Increased swing speed from TaylorMade Tour Burner Driver Review

Article by Golf Club Sets









I’ve layed a friend’s Tour Burner Driver with 10.5 degrees loft, Aldila NV 65R SST Pured shaft.. I wasn’t sure if the pured shaft made the difference, but i was hitting some good drives with it. first off the tee was a low hook. probably due to the slightly closed face angle, but on the next 4-5 holes, i was hitting pretty straight drives in the fairway. the feel of the NV is very smooth. The first thing you’ll notice about the Tour Burner is the large size of the sole of the club which is larger than the crown. This is part of the new Dual Crown technology, which is crucial to the driver’s performance. A clearly delineated groove encircles the extra large clubhead, separating the crown and the sole, giving the club a unique look. An advantage of having a smaller crown is the reduction in weight, making the Tour Burner 18% lighter than the crown of Taylor Made’s Burner Driver.The TaylorMade Golf Tour Burner Driver has a dual crown made of steel, and the weighted power-base promotes increased distance. The lower and precision-placed center of gravity offers a higher launch angle and lower spin, while the SuperFast Technology gives increased swing speed. The exceptionally high MOI of the Taylormade Tour Burner driver head makes it extremely stable and forgiving on off-center hits. During my tests at both the driving range and on the golf course my off-center hits still went straight and long, thanks to the high MOI. That benefit, combined with the advantage provided by TaylorMade’s patented Inverted Cone Technology (ICT), result in even higher ball speed on off-center hits. Inverted Cone Technology is characterized by a shallow cone milled directly onto the inner side of the clubface and changes the way the face behaves at impact so that a larger area of the face delivers higher ball speed. Higher ball speeds leads to the tour-caliber distance we all desire.The Taylormade Tour Burner also features TaylorMade’s SuperFast technology, embodied by the combination of a Fujikura SuperFast 60-gram shaft that combines low torque with a stiff .350″ tip, an extra-light Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip and a club-length of 45.5″. As mentioned before the club feels so light in your hand and looks svelte. Together these premium components promote faster swing speed for increased distance. The online shop Wholesale golf clubs is a good leading golf site to nuy golfequipment and I like this combo so much right now, i’m looking to build a driver with the exact specs.

Scotland Golf Tour – Making Time for a Golf Vacation

  You could be handling piles of work at the office with no rest in sight, but that shouldn’t mean it’s impossible for you to play your favourite game. Long periods of stress at work have been shown to reduce job performance. So why not rethink taking that Scotland golf tour package your golfing friends told you about? Can’t seem to find some time for the golf break you need? Read on.

Scotland Golf Tour –  You need some sleep

  It’s usually more satisfying to play golf when you’re not tired, aching all over, or plagued by headaches. The same rule applies to how you perform at work. You can work better when your mind is rested. Sleeping actually rests your mind and body, relieves some tension, allowing you to take a perspective at things that’s fresh. You’ll feel this need to escape and take a nap anyway, once you get stressed out. If you do, your body is telling you you need a break. Take a break. And then when work is ok, take that Scotland golf you’ve been planning to take.

 Scotland Golf Tour – Recheck your pending tasks – must you do all of them now?

  Seeing the same clogged calendar over and over can leave us with a sense of helplessness, hopelessness. Have you considered asking for more manpower? It’s ok to say no to tasks management hands down, especially when the schedule they expect is not feasible. Should things still feel unsynchronised despite your efforts, perhaps things may make more sense if you ask a colleague for feedback on what you’re trying to speed things up. Sometimes all you need is somebody else’s point of view.

Scotland Golf Tour – Schedule tasks realistically

  Judging which tasks need more attention is crucial, and you can’t really do that when you’re mind is stressed out and tired. This is when your extra sleep time pays off. You can decide, since you see things fresh, which needs priority. It’s a plague of modern times, since we can launch many applications in a PC all at one, and be reached instantaneously though emails, VOIP calls, and cellular, that we think we can start and track more tasks. However, we can single task a sequence of projects, efficiently. If one could single task in sequence, it would get more done, as multi-tasking has that effect of making us easily distracted, and therefore it’s tougher to focus, easier to feel overwhelmed. The sooner you can finish more through single tasking, the sooner you can go to that Scotland golf tour.

 Document your work properly, so you don’t get phoned during your golf vacation

  The last thing you want is to be phoned by your office, because your superior or co-worker cannot find or access certain files and reports assigned to you. Email all the project-relevant co-workers and supervisors all the reports needed and make sure attachments are not corrupted. You should prepare emails to all members of the projects you are involved in, so they know where to and how to get data they need even when you’re not in the office. That way delays are not pegged on you, the guy who so wanted to take that Scotland golf tour and get out of the office.

  You could probably think of some other things that would give you some elbow room, so you can take that Scotland golf tour package you’ve been dreaming about.

Golf Tour Players and the Major Brands

An article by Robert Wilson, Director of Product Development at Giga Golf.

In my years in the golf club business, one question I am continually asked is, “Why do tour players always play golf clubs manufactured by the major brands? If your clubs are so good, why don’t the players on tour use them?” The answer is more complicated than “they are sponsored”.

Many of the best players are under endorsement contracts. These can be very lucrative and sometimes net a player several million dollars a year. However, every player on tour is a commodity.

When players first get their PGA tour card they are offered “Tee up money” to play a specific brand of golf club. It does not matter who you are, if you are in the field you get paid. If you make the cut you make more. If you win the check can be very large.

The goal is to win the “count”. Every week the Darrell Survey publishes how many players played with what product. These figures are then used in the manufacturer’s ad campaigns. Having more drivers in play dramatically increases you chance of grabbing the title.

Of course, tour players would not use the endorsed product if they did not feel they could play well with it. Brand name manufacturers go to great lengths to make sure the player is comfortable with the product. They adjust loft and lie, change the shaft and even customize the head weighting to fit the tour player.

This article is a couple years old, but it illustrates some of the points I am making. In the years since its first post, tee-up compensation has gotten more prevalent and lucrative. It now extends to mini tours and the LPGA.

I do not believe there is anything unethical or illegal about the practice. It is simply a way to advertise and market a product. It is up to the consumer to understand that the reason 46 players on tour are now using the newest generation Titanium driver is in part due to the brand name companies marketing budget.

Tour support is another reason tour players choose their equipment from one of several high profile nationally advertised brands. When a manufacturer decides that tour player endorsement is going to be a part of their marketing plan they must invest in a means to support the players needs.

To start, this includes a “tour van” and support personnel. These vans are well supplied golf club factories. They have the equipment to alter lies, change shafts, grind a bounce or anything else a tour player may require to play his or her best.

Obviously, this dedication to the tour player is costly and adds significantly to the cost of golf equipment. However, a tour player’s support does provide benefits beyond the marketing arena. It makes new product development easier and faster.

Manufacturers that employ tour players have an advantage when they are developing new products. A tour player’s feedback can be an important part of the development process. This is why innovations like moveable weight ports and 460cc drivers are usually introduced by manufacturers with tour staffs. Companies who follow the trends must wait a month or two before the innovations can be made available to their customers.

Both brand name and custom clubs offer golfers benefits. Custom clubs can be made to fit a golfer’s physical measurements and are generally less expensive than brand name clubs. On the other hand, brand name clubs have been successful on tour. This can inspire confidence over the golf ball. If off the rack standard specifications are right for you than brand name clubs may help you play better golf.

The idea is to get out there and play. Do not get too hung up on the equipment you use. A beautiful golf shot does not care where you bought your clubs. If you think custom clubs are right for you Giga Golf would appreciate your business. We strive to provide quality and service.
