Took the new BurnerTP 8.5* to the range this afternoon. Holy Cripes, if I play in firm conditions I'm just going to try to drive it into the greenside bunkers on anything less than 400yds. :laugh: Of course I'm exagerrating but it is a bomber. It's flying slightly lower than the 9.5* as I'd expected, hitting the ground and keeps going. It's not that low either, I'd say 2 telephone poles high and as high as a full PW at apex. I can't believe how high these heads launch. I had that QuadTP 9.5* with the VS proto briefly and the 8.5* Burner is flying at least 20-30ft. higher than that was.
The stock shaft in this thing is not bad at all. I was expecting it to not be all that great but I was hitting this driver long and very straight. I actually think the 9.5* with the VS faded more out of a "straight up the middle" setup. The 8.5* seems easier to draw a little and fades a yard or 2 when I just go "straight back, straight through".
My initial thoughts are "thank goodness, I made the right decision on this". The 8.5* will be a little longer and oddly seems more controllable.
