A Taylor Made Burner Fairway Woods Review

A Look at Burner Woods, Drivers and Ladies Burner Golf Clubs

The TaylorMade Burner Fairway Wood produces a higher, longer and more accurate shot
from the fairway.

Taylormade now offers a complete line of Burner golf clubs. In addition to their several driver models, in the spring of 2007, they released a complete lined of Burner Fairway woods and hybrids. The fairway woods are a 3 wood with a 15° loft, a 5 wood with an 16° loft and
finally a 7 wood with a nice 21° loft.

There are several models, but the best for theaverage golfer is Burner Steel Fairway woods.
The steel club head is quite oversized for a fairway wood, but gives the golfer extra
forgiveness and, most importantly, the ability to launch the ball easily off the fairway or
light rough.

The light weight TaylorMade RE-AX® graphite shaft, complete with a nice light grip, helps promote a faster swing and additional club head speed. In fact TaylorMade claims the club’s MOI (moment of inertia which relates to speed and power and can only be explained by a physics professor) is 30% higher than their earlier r7 steel woods. The burner shafts come in several different weights from a very light 49 gram shaft to a feathery 44 gram shaft and grip

The burner features are interesting and, like all golf club descriptions, a bit technical. So, what’s in it for your average golfer to use a Burner fairway wood?

• It’s easy to hit and its high trajectory results in more carry and distance.
• The large club head increases forgiveness if you strike the golf ball a little off center.
• The triangular head focuses weight and, again, increases the forgiveness factor.
• As mentioned, the really light graphic shafts increase swing speed and distance.

If you want a little more club and have the ability to handle a more powerful fairway wood, TaylorMade offers a TI (titanium head) model and the TP model for the PGA professionals and scratch golfers. The slightly different shape, more compact footprint and heavier shaft produce outstanding results for golfers that can handle these less forgiving golf clubs.

Before leaving our fairway woods, let’s take a quick look at the TaylorMade Burner Rescue Hybrids. This very appropriately named club features “steel pull-face” construction for long accurate golf shots. However, the key benefit is the greatly increased forgiveness on miss hits and gets the golfer out of situations that could, in the past, destroy a, so far, decent round of golf.

The Taylor Made burner driver has been around for a while, but is always being improved. Off the tee, it’s all about distance and that is what their “superfast technology” is all about. Basically, weight distribution, aerodynamic club head and lighter and more flexible shaft combine to produce a faster swing speed. This increases the ball speed and the result is a 5 iron to the green, rather than a three wood.

Like its fairway wood cousins, the Burner also comes in several different models. There is the Burner 460 model and of course the TP model for the touring pros.

The women’s Burner models, both drivers and fairway woods offer the same benefits as the men’s, but are designed for a woman’s strength and swing. So far, the reviews have been quite favorable. Look for more detailed information in our ladies golf section.

The Burner’s online reviews have also been glowing. While some rave about increased distance, others are more impressed with the club’s accuracy. After all it’s easier to hit the green from the middle of the fairway than behind a tree.

Finally, what about cost? The clubs can be purchased online with a starting price of under $200.00. Clones and used clubs are also available at even lower prices. The best way to shop online is to visit a few online stores and check out their offerings and prices. Also, make sure you are dealing with a reputable merchant. Find a web site you trust and look closely at their online merchants. In the long run, they are probably the best bet.

How much is my Ruger Old Model Single Six worth?

Here’s what I know about the gun….Its stainless, 6.5 inch barrell, shoots both 22lr and 22mag, the wood grips are in good shape, gun shows some wear, gun was made in 1956 or 57 with low numbers. I bought the gun early this year in a gun store in Reno,NV. I paid $170 for it. The dealer had the gun in storage. I told him what I was looking for and this is one of 2 guns he showed me. I’ve shot this gun and shots nice. Upon learning how old it was, I’ve retired the gun.

OK..Thanks for the answers. Here are the results, The data supplied originates from a Dealer Data base that I use in my firearms appraisel business. This data base is considered a “Bible” for the firearms Industry to determine actual value on firearms based on age, condition and current market value as a collectable or for resale. This data base is constantly updated (monthly) to reflect any + or – price changes. You can count on these figures being current and accurate.

You have in fact a 3-Screw, Old Model Single Six Convertable,Single Action,6 1/2″ barrel, w/Additional .22 Magnum Cylinder, Wood Grips, Fixed sights.

Here’s where it gets a bit interesting. The serial number you supplied indicates this gun was manufactured in 1960 and was manufactured in a factory “blue” finish. It is a mid-range serial number and isn’t really a low number for this model. In addition Ruger didn’t manufacture stainless steel models of this gun until years later. It’s safe to say that the previous owner probably had a Gunsmith who refinishes guns put a chromium/ nickel finish on this handgun. Hence the “stainless ” looking finish and wear you mentioned. This obviously has a drastic effect on the collectors value and it would have been worth more money had the original owner left the factory finish “Blue”
Back in the 60’s these nickel finishes were quite the rage and a lot of gun owners had their guns plated to be trendy not realizing that it would have an effect on the collectors value of their guns.
This doesn’t mean you got a bad deal for the price you paid. It just means the collectors value is reduced. Below is a list of values/conditions for the “blued” version of this gun.
100% condition $450 + $30 for Addl/Mag Cylinder
98%” ” ” $350 + $30 ” ” ” ” ”
95%” ” ” $250 + $30 ” ” ” ” ”
90%” ” ” $175 + $30 ” ” ”
80% ” ” ” $165 +$30 ” ” ” ”

I did find records of (2) Old Model Single Six .22 convertables that were sold in firearms auctions in the last 8 years. Both of these were Nickel plated. One sold for $205 (manu 1959)
The other $195 (manu 1964)

Regardless you still have a historical gun with an impressive past. It’s a shooter too, so no need put it away. Good Luck and thanks for “sharing”……
