I’ve played several Taylormade golf balls, and I can say they are definitely worth trying. Depending on your level of play, and how much the ball feel to you, the Burner, along with several others might be to your liking.
The fast core on these Burner golf balls is what Taylormade likes to call REACT. This is something they say will give you more distance.
The cover, because it is so quite soft, combined with this REACT core turn this ball into a veritable missile if struck well.
They are durable and resilient and employ dimple technology (LDP) for much improved distance and lift.
Here Are The Specs:
- Manufacturer warranty is limited for 2 years
- Weight of the ball is 1.6 pounds
- Width of the ball is 1.88 inches
- Material for the shell is Ionomer
- Additional material is rubber
Will They Give You Some Distance Increases?
With the lift and distance that you will experience using the TaylorMade Burner Golf Ball, your game can improve significantly. As far as other balls claiming that they are ‘distance balls’ go, the TaylorMade can slap on an increase of approximately 10 or more yards over other balls that say they fall under the same category.
Holes that are pars three, four and five will be handled in a much easier manner thanks to the lengthy flight of this ball down the fairway. In fact, a par four hole could well set you up so that all you need are some iron attempts from very short distances for your approach.
You will undoubtedly notice the speed with which this ball sails through the air, thanks to the tiny dimples.
Forgiveness Factor
That soft cover and REACT core offer up just the perfect amount of forgiveness that some golfers need.
Will They Empty Your Wallet?
The base price for TaylorMade Burner Golf Balls can range anywhere between $12.00 up to $20.00, depending on where you purchase them. They are available at all sporting goods stores, golf stores, Wal-Mart, online, Target and Amazon.com.
One player called it the best bang for his buck. With the holidays quickly approaching, the golfer in your family would be utterly thrilled to see these golf balls as a stocking stuffer or wrapped up with a festive bow and paper underneath to Christmas tree. Let’s see
Santa do that!
TaylorMade’s Reputation
The reputation of TaylorMade golf equipment is impeccable, as golfers well know. A Tampa Bay area freelance golf reporter, Mike Camunus, gave this golf ball a great thumbs up which I certainly agree with.
After 11 years out on the course, this ball finally allowed him to lower his handicap significantly for the first time.
Overall rating – golfers desiring a break out on the course will get it from this TaylorMade burner golf ball. Imagine being able to shave strokes off of your game because you’re suddenly hitting the ball further than ever before.
Technology – the technology behind this ball offers the highest launch angle needed to really send this ball into orbit. It only makes sense, really. More distance is a direct result of an increased launch angle. You don’t have to be a scientist to figure that one out.
Feel – you don’t have to be afraid to give this ball a good whack from inside the tee box. The soft cover and custom designed core make this ball literally shoot off of all choices of clubs.
One reviewer was of the opinion that straight off the tee, it felt like the ball lacked a little bit of control. Upon further review however, depending on the specific golfer’s draw or fade, the ball
has a nice ending trajectory spin.
This ball undeniably employs its advertised ‘burner’ affect buy sailing further and higher than any other ball claiming that it will increase the golfer’s distance.
In what would usually be a troublesome headwind the ball lands softer because in essence, it has been pushed up by the wind.
Let’s Wrap This Up!
If you’re thinking about running out and buying a pack of these balls because they’re simply the greatest golf ball ever made, that’s not exactly the case. In fact, TaylorMade themselves will be the first to admit that even they has made a higher quality ball than this particular golf ball.
That said, the TaylorMade Burner Golf Ball may not have the specific control that the Red TP’s offer, but it more than makes up for it by allowing the golfer to hit the ball hard and enjoy amazing lift and
distance that other balls simply would not have offered.
If distance and lift are what you’ve been looking for in a golf ball, you have found the ball that you’ve needed.
