Most people looking up the TaylorMade Burner SuperFast today are deciding whether to buy one second-hand. Short answer: only at a very low price. Below is what the club was in 2010 [1], what has changed since, and who should still consider it.
Is the Burner SuperFast worth buying in 2026? Only at a very low price
The head is a full 460cc, so it is still forgiving, but the glued hosel means the loft on the head is the loft you get, and the shaft can't be swapped easily. Worth it only as a cheap first driver for a beginner.
The Burner SuperFast in 2010: what it was
The Burner SuperFast was built around a very light head and a long, light shaft to raise swing speed. It sat on the forgiving side of the lineup, for players who wanted help on off-centre strikes. The 460cc head is the same size limit drivers are built to today.

Buying a used Burner SuperFast: checklist
- Loft: read the loft stamped on the sole. Because the hosel is glued, that number is final.
- Face: look for cracks, dents or a caved-in look at the centre. A cracked face can't be repaired.
- Crown: sky marks and paint chips are cosmetic; dents are not.
- Shaft and grip: check the flex label. A worn grip costs little to replace; a shaft that is too stiff costs you carry.
- Price check: we could not verify current used prices, so compare recent sold listings before you buy (eBay sold listings).

Who should still buy one?
- Buy it if you want a forgiving club on a small budget and can try it before you pay.
- Skip it if you can stretch to a recent used model (the last three or four years) — the forgiveness gap is bigger than the price gap.
- Skip it if you need a different loft than the one stamped on the head; it can't be changed.
