“Long, light and easy to swing fast; the 2007 Burner brought lightweight distance to the masses ahead of the redesigned Dual Crown 'Burner 09' that replaced it. A fine slower-speed rung-1 head that's simply been lapped by modern forgiveness.”

TaylorMade relaunched the Burner name in 2007 as a value/lightweight-distance driver: a 460cc head with what the company called its largest face yet, using Inverted Cone Technology (variable face thickness) for extra forgiveness on mishits. It shipped with a RE*AX SuperFast 50 shaft (Fujikura) at roughly 48 grams, keeping total club weight well under 300 grams, on a 45.5-inch shaft — half an inch longer than typical. Golfreview.com's period coverage bundles it as one half of a pair, '2007 Burner, Burner TP Drivers,' with the pricier TP aimed at better players. At $299 it undercut that sibling and TaylorMade's flagship r7/R9 lines.

A mass-market value driver with no cult evidence of any kind: good period reviews, no scarcity, no tour legend, superseded within a couple of years once 'SuperFast Technology' became its own dedicated 2009 driver franchise.

Recreational and slower-swing-speed golfers wanting easy-launching distance at a value price. Faster or better-swinging players found the extra-long, ultralight build harder to control — one contemporary review noted wider shot dispersion than TaylorMade's own concurrent r7/R9 drivers.

• 460cc head, described by TaylorMade as its largest driver face to that point
• Inverted Cone Technology (variable face thickness) for expanded forgiveness
• RE*AX SuperFast 50 shaft (Fujikura), roughly 48 grams, for a sub-300-gram total club weight
• 45.5-inch shaft length, about half an inch longer than typical drivers of the era
• Launched at $299, priced below the concurrent Burner TP model aimed at better players

Part of TaylorMade's mid-2000s Burner revival that preceded 'SuperFast Technology' becoming a dedicated driver name in 2009; sold at retail alongside a pricier Burner TP sibling for better players. A near-identical $399 'Burner' driver from the same 2007-09 generation was also sold.

Realistic 2026 private-party price for a clean example is roughly $30-70. It is a 19-year-old value driver with purely functional worth and no collector interest.
