Taylormade Burner 18 Degree Fairway Wood

What introduced me to this model is actually because many people bought the Taylormade Burner driver.  When it first came out a few months ago, many of my friends bought the driver.  As a curious golfer like the rest of you, I tried to hit it and it performed very well.

Even though I didn't end up buying a driver as I'm very happy with the one I have now, I decided to try the fairway woods of the same model because I was toying around with the idea of changing my hybrid 2 iron.  I was instantly in love with it once I started hitting it.

The fairway woods gives you the same "springy" feeling that the driver gives you , all in the smaller club head.  With its low profile head, it also works well in the fairway.  It's no hybrid, so deep rough is a problem but it is on par with pretty much all other fairway woods.

One thing I really like about the driver is the look at address.  The design on the clubhead is nice and pleasant to the eye, which gives me more confidence to swing freely and with authority.  To be honest, it's really strange how the look affects my swing but it definitely does!

I'm quite happy with my purchase, and I encourage you to try it out if you haven't already.  Unless something really really good comes along, this one is staying in my bag.

  1. I am a taylormade guy and I love the burner series. It’s too bad you didn’t get the driver because it’s the best! I hit it at least 20 yards farther. I have the fairway woods too and I agree with everything you said. It’s just amazing!
