I am thinking of purchasing the 2008 Tour Burner but I don’t know whether I should get a regular of stiff shaft. My club head speed for a driver is around 95 mph. I’m 16 years old and my club head speed gets faster every year, should I get a stiff shaft?

I’ve just purchased a 2009 Burner Regular 49gram REAX shaft and had it cut to 44.5 inches. I also switched my grip to the Winn Lite Soft standard size My swingspeed is between 90 to 95mph. This setup is the best I’ve ever had. My drives go from 265 to 270 yards consistently. The control I have now as opposed to the normal 46 inches is incredible. Since the head is designed to be about 2 degrees closed, it is so much easier to hit a draw . The important part I wanna share with the readers is “get a proper fitting and invest on golf lessons, not the equipment” We all bring certain variables to the game and only a proper fitting of each club and golf lessons can maximize your game. Remember…the clubs and technology are designed to enhance your skills. Only then can you enjoy the game we all love.

Dillon,
I don’t know what you consider cheap to be, but you should skimp on a proper fitting for a driver. The cost will vary by location. I would start by calling TaylorMade to see if they could recommend a club fitter in your area. I’d also check with your local Golftec or club fitting professional.

Good Luck!

Dillon,
Get fitted for the driver before purchasing to find the right one for your swing. This way you have a driver that works best for your swing. About your comment on a shorter length shaft, only a proper club fitting would tell you if that is necessary.
Good Luck!
