TaylorMade Golf has the habit of putting a club on the
market and then shortly after, if it proves successful,
introducing a tour version (designated by the initials TP).
This is case the new Burner Superfast TP was preceded
by, you guessed it, the Burner Superfast. Drivers in
general have gotten larger of course and somewhere
along the line someone figured out clubhead speed could
be increased by making the head more aerodynamic, the
premise of both the Superfast and Superfast TP.
The TP model has been out in Japan since Feb. and on
Tour here since March. In addition to the sleek styling of
the head it features a larger clubface and a 2 degree open
face, obviously aimed to be used by better players.

Additionally the TP has the now standard TaylorMade
Inverted Cone Technology and Dual-Crown technology
lowering the center of gravity for higher launch angle and
less spin which was first seen in the immensely popular
Tour Burner driver two years ago and last year’s Burner
09.
Two stock shafts are available – both 46 inches in length
- the Matrix HD6 for S and X flexes is 65 grams and the R
shaft Matrix XCON 5 is an extremely light 54 grams.
Lastly the Burner SuperFast TP driver has a striking look,
the head is finished entirely in black, including the sole
and clubface making it distinctive compared to other big
sticks. Suggested price is $349 but they are on the street
at $300.
