ok, so ive been out of love with my Burner Draw Driver for a while now, so not knowing if the flex was really suited to me, i decided to pop into AG in Exeter. Thought id try my driver against a few others. So i went in the store, saw straight away that they have a fitting room with video, sensors etc. So the guy come upto me and I told him my problems and that im also on the lookout for new driver under £200.
We choose the TM RBZ, TM Burner 2.0 and the Ping G15.
Warmed up with my driver in the room, i was hitting it ok, but often i balloon the ball resulting in massive loss of distance, i was getting between 4000-5000rpm ball spin, 16 deg lauch angle and clubhead speed on 99mph which put me in the middle of the range for a stiff shaft, think the distance was about 235yds, with a high ball flight and going left most the time
So after 6/7 balls, i swapped to the G15, nice club, bit shorter in the shaft than my burner, but was a lot more confident with the neutral face. this was stiff shaft with 9 deg loft. started getting a lot better ball spin of around 3100rpm, and distance was between 250-263yds.
Next was the RBZ, this upped my spin by about 1000yds, so discounted this. it was stiff shaft with 9.5 loft.
Last was the Burner 2.0, like the white head, longer shaft than the G15, but felt comfortable over it, similar spin rates to the G15 and on average about 2-3 yds shorter. i thought id be longer with the longer shaft, but maybe not.

anyway, after about 30mins chatting to the guy and swapping between drivers, decided to get rid of the RBZ.
I do like both the G15 and the 2.0, but will have to go to my local AG to hit them both on a proper range, see how i get on with them both.
Any people got good/bad views about either club?
Was happy with the staff there, they said during a chat about the stats that the RBZ (£200) was not for me and that left me with one at £146ish and one at £130ish.
 
I just brought the burner didn't try the g15 but wish I did as love my hybrids. Gonna try burner for a few weeks and if I don't get on with it im going to swap it out
 
G15 simply works for me. And I actually acquired it purely to sell - mde the 'mistake' of hitting it once and it's been in the bag ever since!

@OP. Looks like you've found an AG that cares! :clap:

@Connor. Slightly different method of selecting a new Driver than yours! ;) Advantages/disadvantages to both methods of course.

Was one of those impulse buy moments lol.
Not had a proper chance on the course with it yet only the range... Things always behave different on the course an I just noticed you wanted a drier I got the 3wood
 
did try it at AG, its £129 there. My old pro is doing it for £120 but has to order it in and i wont get it for 2 weeks until im next home........ARGHHH!!!! decisions decisions!!!
 
I have the TM Burner 2.0 driver and find I am erratic with it, not on direction but on length with 30 to 40 yards between poorer and better ddrives. It has a longer shaft than most drivers and while this should add distance I sometimes wonder if instead it just makes it more difficult to use being a shorthouse!
 
I had the superfast 2.0 for a while and could not get on with it. Dont get me wrong, when you hit it right it goes for miles, but I found it harder to control as it has a longer shaft.

I have hit a friends G15 and if I had bought this instead I would have kept it.
