Excited - new config
So I wanted to share my excitement with fellow club fanatics. I just purchased a Whiteboard from Toronto Golf Nuts, brand new uncut and it is the 63g model. I also decided to purchase a 2009 Taylormade Burner 9.5 degree head. I am thinking this combo is not going to be as low as I would like, but will reduce some spin and put me further out there.
Very exited to build this biatch!!
p.s. Thanks Saint for offering to install it for a complete stranger. I can bring you a 6 pack of beer along with the 10 bucks!

Good point, I dont want to happen what happened to Barkley on the driving range when the head goes flying further than the ball.

You don't think this combo is going to be as low as you'd like???? I think you're going to be in for a big surprise. I've heard stories of people trying a Whiteboard to bring down their ball flight and not being able to get the ball in the air. It's a very, very low launching shaft. Good luck with it, hope it works for you.

Ya that was my thought as well...I was playing the V2 and wanted a bit more feel. I got the TM head because it is a higher launching head....I dont think I will have a hard time loading the shaft and hope the ball flight is like a fighter jet. I am super excited to try this combo out! I want to hit knock downs through the ball retrivieving cart, not at it!

The V2 and the Whiteboard couldn't be any more different in terms of feel or performance. The Whiteboard is incredibly low launching.

Wow I am kind of regretting posting my excitement. Besides no one has seen how high I hit the ball and have demo'd this shaft on the Rapture. Was launching at 13.5 - 14 and not my usual 15*.
All these naysayers....feel like I am talking to my father!

We're not naysayers, we're just forewarning you. But seriously, 13-15* is a great launch angle if your spin is where it should be. But I always get a kick out of amateurs that complain of hitting the ball too high. In most cases, they've never been to a pro tourney and watched how high they hit the ball.

I dont think the ball has come down yet....I hit it off the tee this morning at 10:34. I will say I love the feel of this shaft and the ball flight it produces. I have gained more yardage as a result and this combo is long, long , long. Wait I think my ball is coming down now

Burner heads are great for lower flight!! I just shafted my Tour Burner TP with an Accra T70 Stiff and I can't wait to try it on the course. Hit a small bucket of balls with it today and they were SWEEEEET

i had the 09 Burner head too...with a whiteboard i cant imagine the ball ever ballooning. You might be more concerned with lack of spin with that combo
