Question by Sam: I have never played golf before but if i buy a TaylorMade burner driver will i hit the ball far?
Ok so i live across the street from a golf course & i have always felt like wacking the ball in the driving range.
If i buy a $ 150 TaylorMade burner driving club will it really make a difference compared to a $ 20 Dunlop driver?
Or is hitting the ball good more about swing mechanics?

The latter. Good equipment is nice, but it’s how you use what you’ve already got that counts.

its more about your swing and stance
Don’t expect to hit a ball any better because of your clubs.As you are beginning just use your Dunnie that you have and when you gain a bit more experience you can then try other different drivers and choose one that suits you the best. If you get a good player they can hit any club regardless of the price but when you become a confident and consistent golfer you can appreciate the nuances with different clubs. So first learn to swing the club the correct way and then get a more expensive driver. I have played with people that have bought their clubs from second hand and Op-shops and all the clubs are a different make and they still played bloody well. It makes me laugh when you see the posers with all their brand name gear and their $ 2000 clubs and they still can’t hit the ball for $ hit.
You need to learn the basics first. I would start out with the $ 20 Driver. If you like the sport and get used to hitting the ball, then you can graduate up to the more expensive club.
Hitting the ball is all about swing mechanics as I found out this past summer.I played for the first time in about 30 years.New equipment same old results.
Just start with the basics and most of all have fun.
Buy the Taylormade, you may not know how on play but better to have good equipment than junk
Swing, Swing, Swing. golf is hard to learn, and before you can expect to whack it 250yds you need to be consistent. Learn how to play first, but the Burner and many others now from Adams, Nike and Callaway have a lot of nice clubs that add distance and help your game
Buy the $ 20 driver and use the rest of the $ 130 on golf lessons. It’s not so much the equipment, but the method.
its more about the swing mechanics, the grip pressure, stance, posture (setup), shifting your weight, shoulder turn, etc. good equipment does count for (10%) little bit but your mechanics count for the rest (90%). I start out with cheaper set of clubs to see if I really want to play this game, once I got hook on it I slowly improve my equipment as I got better at it. my advise to you is to take a couple of lesson and go for it!!
yes hotter faces will make a ball travel farther even if it is farther in the trees
a driver set with a ladies flex and length shaft and ladies low speed trampoline effect changed my distance off the tee from 190 to 220
if ur just starting to play dont go out and waste ur money beacuse if u dont like it then u wasted 150 bucks
