2007 Burner Driver TP vs Standard Head Shaft


cantwells

Recommended Posts

Me: for years I've been a 2-5 hdcp depending on how much I can get out (summer 6 rounds/month, winter 2-3 rounds/month). I am typically a draw player but am able to shape shots both left and right (within reason). With a wide open fairway, my ball flight is mid-high with the driver. For years, I have gamed the standard 07 TM Burner 9.5* driver. It sets up slightly closed and has a TaylorMade reax 50g stiff shaft. I also carry the R7 TP irons with rifle 6.0 shafts, +1" and up 1*. I love those irons. A few years ago I bought a TP version of the same 9.5* driver. I love the slightly open looking face at address. It came with a reax 65g stiff shaft. Sadly, I could not consistently get the ball to turn over (draw). In the closet it went. Now I am thinking I'd like to re-shaft the club. Assuming I could find a reax 50g shaft, could I use it ? If not, could someone offer comparable shaft options? Lastly, I am 50+ years old and probably on my way to softer flex shafts. BUT, I am not there yet.

If you found that shaft it likely would not fit in the TP version of the 07 Burner driver. The TP head is a .335 bore while the non TP version is .350

Recently rebuilt a 10.5* 07 Burner TP with an Aldila RIP Phenom 50s for a senior golfer/former D1 college player that absolutely loves the combo. Shaft is reasonably priced and readily available from a number of sources. If looking for something with slightly stiffer overall feel than the RIP Phenom, the Phenom NL 60 is a solid choice as well.
