Crucial to the Tour Burner driver's performance is 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 clubhead, 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 clubhead walls to measure as little as .55 millimeters
thick.
The weight saved by the Tour Burner 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's CG is positioned
40% lower in relation to the center of the clubface than the Burner
TP.
The Tour Burner driver head's exceptionally high MOI makes it
extremely stable and forgiving on off-center hits. That benefit,
combined with the advantage provided by TaylorMade's renowned
Inverted Cone clubface technology, results in even higher ball
speed on off-center 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 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).
Clubface is engineered 1° open (standard Tour Burner is square)
