The TM one looks exactly like the Titleist D1 save that the depth from face to back is slightly shorter. Color is a deep maroon hue - something very different from the usual TM drivers. I think that the TM one is JDM one (use of the designation "Max").
Another thought I had. How do you guys think TM will market this driver? They're ads this year say "our longest drivers ever" with the Superquad aimed at individuals who prefer to adjust lauch angles and the Burner for people who want to bomb it.
OMG!! Thanks so much to whoever took these pics. Not too keen on the red, and the triangular appearance of the D1 has never appealed to me. Am sure it will probably look better in person- TM's good at that
Hasn't taylormade been against different shaped drivers like the squared and triangle drivers, and now they are coming out with one. I think that thats kind of wierd

Just like they market the other ones....'our longest driver ever!'
It's not so bad looking. Can't wait for Callaway to jump onto the triangle bandwagon and really show some orange.

no they just got caught with their pants down since all they have been doing is re creating MWT in different headsizes. So they threw the burner out to cover their butts against the Ft-i, Sumo2 and D1
i am liking the looks of that , thanks for posting pics!!! Interesting to see how this compares to the superquad in terms of launch characteristics etc...
I like.... Oh yeah, TM will say, "THIS is our longest driver ever. Trust us this time". Actually this one will be "MOI with LAUNCH CONTROL" and it'll come with an MOI shaft.
I really liked the old TM drivers but this one? looks more like a crazy garden tool than a golf club for me... same like the d1 cant look at such a club
But that's just a personal opinion, hopefully not alone among the rest
OMG! Another TM driver! I was sooooo hoping they'd release another driver, as it's been quite awhile since the outdated SuperQuad and Burner came out! That technology is soooo "first quarter 2007"! I must get one of these new drivers, to be on the cutting edge!!!
Seriously, I would NEVER buy a new TM driver. I'd love the Burner....but I'll just wait, by Christmas it'll be $100.
The most entertaining thing about Taylor Made releasing new drivers fairly frequently, is the number of people who come into threads like these in an attempt to be funny, re-hashing the same jokes used the LAST time TM released a driver.

If the CGB irons are anything to go by, probably latest technology and ultra-forgiveness for a premium. Maybe the MOI is even higher? Increasing MOI over current drivers supposedly doesn't make much difference now they have have all reached 4000+. Not that it will probably stop OEMs from exploiting the marketing potential, of bigger is better.
What a great R&D department over there at Taylor Made... What did they do, take a D1, paint it and add some weights to it? Also do they really need weights on a supposed High MOI driver? I can't keep up with this mumbo jumbo..haha

that's kind of what i was thinking...well said.
i'm curious as to what will be the next useful innovation.
