The TaylorMade Tour Burner TP driver performance comes from TaylorMade's new Dual Crown technology, wherein the size of the crown is noticeably smaller than the large sole. A clearly delineated groove encircles the extra large club head, separating the crown and sole. The smaller crown is 12% lighter than the crown of TaylorMade's Burner driver. Also crucial is TaylorMade's Ultra-Thin Wall casting technology, which allows the club head walls to measure as little as .55 millimetres thick. The weight saved by the TaylorMade Tour Burner TP driver's Dual Crown and Ultra-Thin Wall technologies is redistributed to create an exceptionally low CG location – among the lowest ever in a TaylorMade driver. On a vertical axis, the Tour Burner TP's CG is positioned 40% lower in relation to the centre of the clubface than the Burner TP.The TaylorMade Tour Burner TP driver head's exceptionally high MOI makes it extremely stable and forgiving on off-centre hits. The Tour Burner TP's clubface is engineered 2° open, while the standard Tour Burner's face is square. That benefit, combined with the advantage provided by TaylorMade's renowned Inverted Cone clubface technology, results in even higher ball speed on off-centre hits. Inverted Cone Technology, characterized by a shallow cone milled directly onto the inner side of the clubface, changes the way the face behaves at impact so that a larger area of the face delivers higher ball speed.The combined benefits of the Tour Burner TP driver's high MOI and Inverted Cone Technology result in what TaylorMade calls "effective MOI," or "eMOI," that exceeds 5800 (the USGA's limit on MOI is 5900). TaylorMade's definition of eMOI is the positive influence on ball speed on off-centre hits that's exerted by the combined effects of a driver's MOI and clubface technology (versus constant-thickness clubfaces). eMOI in TaylorMade drivers is dramatically higher, and more valuable in terms of its affect on ball speed, than MOI alone, owing to the benefits of TaylorMade's patented Inverted Cone Technology. The Tour Burner TP's large sole serves a second valuable purpose by creating an expansive address footprint that promotes increased confidence, and the advanced club head geometry delivers the kind of great impact sound and feel for which TaylorMade drivers are famous. The TaylorMade Tour Burner TP is available in a choice of three shafts: Matrix Ozik Xcon-5 (55-grams), Mitsubishi Diamana Whiteboard 65 (65-grams) and Fujikura Rombax Z 75 (75-grams). The grip is standard weight, not lightweight.
The TaylorMade Tour Burner TP driver has a powerful look from the side, but from above it has a slightly triangular shape as the back of the club is pulled away from the face. Compared to the standard version, the Tour Burner TP has a deeper face and a more compact head and the sound at impact is much better. The forgiveness was good right across the face and the trajectory was lower than most other drivers around, which was good. The shaft on the TP version is much better than the standard Tour Burner and you notice this in the performance. If you can afford it then this is a good club, but other drivers offer better value for money.

The TaylorMade Tour Burner TP gives you a great penetrating flight, a lot better than the regular version. It has a good solid fell through impact and the sound is not that bad either. The looks aren't the best as I prefer a more traditional head, but the club performs and when it comes down to it that is what it is all about.
