loft question-

Today i hit the tour burner in a 9.5 stiff.. I was hitting this on the driving range and could not believe the ball flight i was getting. straight and AMAZING carry.. I hit shots with 3 drivers to compare-

1- burner 07 10.5 reg
2- hyper x 10 stiff
3- tour burner 9.5 stiff



My burner 07 coul not make it past the 200 yadr marker and I was spraying it everywhere, the hyper x was going right no matter what I tried to do. The tour burner was straight and LONG.

Now I have an opportunity to get a really good deal on a tour burner but in 10.5. Im wondering if i would lose distance or gain distance with the 10.5... unfortunatley they did not have a 10.5 stiff to try out- out of stock... what would be my best move...

Thanks in advance!

I'm convinced that the shaft is more important than the head. Are the shafts the same or comparable?

Different shafts- the 07 burner had stock 50g reg, hyper x had stock stiff fit on x, and the tour burner had the stock 60g stiff.

well, wait and try the 0.5* then, and order your favorite. remember to make sure you get the same shaft so you don't have to go hoing as much.
