TaylorMade Burner '09, Tour Burner or R9

Folks, I'm itching to move from the Burner '09 to the R9. Has anyone tried both and can share their thoughts? Muchos gracias in advance

I had just bought my R9, still trying to compare how much the diff..
but i will say R9 is must better driver then burner, and i also hv a burner

Thanks hardrock. Appreciate your feedback. Let me know how much better the R9 is, k?

Hardrock, better in what sense? Distance, feel, forgiving, launch? No doubt that it has more flexibility section where it has rotating features on the club head positions and weights.

Yeah, aside from the flexibility, I'm more keen to know whether the club performs better in terms of distance and forgiveness.

for the distance, feel and forgiveness is much better compare to burner
cos i had both driver in my bag.
i like the club head is much heavier than burner

I have 2 R9s.. One with the Motore F1 shaft and the other is with Kajiki prototype shaft which is what i'm currently using and its very good to me so far...

right handed or left handed?

Its in lefty version....

Time to change to right handed liao... he he.. Comparing between the 2 r9 on different shafts, which is one better?

Sounds good, but can't quite decide right now. Still tempted to get the Ping Rapture V2. But I appreciate the feedback on the R9 Cheers!

of course the black prototype... its more stable while the F1 goes further but more wild..

Go to TPY range to try out and see if you like it.... sorry mine is on the wrong side else you can try it with different shafts...

Anyway, while we're on this topic... anyone got a R9 which they want to sell cheap? Head only... shaft not essential.

The R9 max or 460 is out already, so i guess the 420 R9 will be cheaper now .... wait a little longer and it'll be much much cheaper..

Thanks for the advice, bro

Hmm... to complicate matters... what about the Tour Burner?

My Boss plays with the 9.5 * Tour Burner with the stock shaft and he swears by it.. so it individual , i guess.. so you'll have to test it out and see if its for you...

From what I've read, the Tour Burner comes with a longer stock shaft so distance-wise, it seems to do better than the R9. My concern with the R9 is that it's pricey because of features (i.e. the flexibility) which I may not necessarily utilize.

Lamts when u going to range again ? leave me ur no leh i chio u go range hows that ya

Thats true.... i leave my R9 setting at 'N' and hardly move it... DGman also advised me to leave it there at 'N' ... so the extra price we pay is for when we are itchy backside and go and change here, change there and finally back to 'N'..
