Is the taylormade tour burner supposed to be harder to hit than the regular taylormade burner?

I'm going to be hitting them, but I want to know if I should hit the tour burner or not, I'm about a 10-15 handicap, and want to know is the tour burner supposed to be hard to hit, because it says tour, but I see there is a tour burner tp so I'm not sure, does anyone know?|||There are at least four TaylorMade Burners:


1. The Taylormade Burner - $299


2. The Taylormade Burner TP - $399


3. The Taylormade Burner Tour - $399


4. The Taylormade Burner Tour TP - $599





In general, the Tour models are gonna be a little harder to hit, especially if you tend to slice. The reason for this is because the Tour models have a slightly open face (probably 1-2 degrees open). The non-tour burners have a slightly closed clubface, which promotes a draw and can add a little distance on well-struck shots (a shot with the slightest hint of slice will not benefit from any added distance).





The TP models have upgraded shafts and grips, and have the option for a clubface with lower loft. The regular burner is the only model that has the option of a 13 degree face, which is alot of loft for a driver and desireable for golfers that have trouble hitting drivers.





The Tour models are all made with titanium, which is lighter and more expensive. They Tour models are also only 450cc compared to 460cc for the non-Tour models. This is because pros prefer a slightly smaller club head which allows them to shape shots easier.





All in all, the tourt models are definitely nicer clubs. Since you are a 10-15 handicapper, I would say that you would really benefit from the upgraded shaft in the TP or Tour models. However, you really ned to get fitted for a shaft in order to benefit from the upgrade. The shaft really makes all the difference. Optimizing my shaft added 20-30 yards to my drives. Honestly, its really all about the shaft. The right shaft on a lesser clubhead will go farther than a premium clubhead on a poorly optimized shaft.





Having said all that, I would really recommend looking at the Cleveland HiBore XL. They just came out with the XLS and you can pick up the older XL for $150 now. The HiBore comes with a simple option of a red shaft(lower launch) or gold shaft (higher launch). You can hit the exact same club with each shaft and figure out wich one you need. Also, if you happen to live in an area that is frequently windy, the HiBore does exceptionally well in the wind.|||The tour part on clubs means that they're designed for players with good ballstriking abilitles. This just means that they're harder to hit, but when hit well they yield much better results. This is just like how it is in irons. There are player improvement clubs with wide souls and huge cavity backs which are incredibly easy to get the ball up and hit it straight with, but these aren't good for experienced players who want to fade or draw the ball. Because of this, tour players play with blades, which are extremely unforgiving, but give great results to those who know how to hit them. So my advise would be for you to try out the tour burner before you buy it, but you'll probably be alright playing with it.|||The Taylormade Tour Burner is simply a newer edition of the Taylormade Burner, from 2007. The Tour Burner comes in two models: Regular and TP (tour preferred). The TP model has a slightly open face, to promote the ability to work the ball. It also comes with more "high end" shaft options. The Regular burner has a slighty closed face in order to help higher handicappers hit a straighter ball. I would recommend the Regular Tour Burner.|||The tour you see on clubs does meen the club is designed differntly for differnt players. The Tour clubs are designed for players who know how to hit the club to make a shot fade into a spot where they want. If your Handicap is 10 to 15 you may know how to do this. The tour clubs are for more advanced players . If i was a beginner or a high handicapper I would stay away....................................鈥?Ya I would say it would be more difficult because if it faded or sliced you may think it was something you did .. but was not your fault at all|||As far as the "tour" on things like the Tour Burner and X-20 Tours, they are not for tour caliber players, just mid-handicap players like yourself. However TP stands for tour preferred, which, while I haven't hit them, will likely make those slightly harder to hit than the standard Tour Burner. Like when people say that Sergio uses the Tour Burner, my likely guess would be that he uses the Tour Burner TP
