Nike is coming out with the new Sumo SQ Sasquatch square driver. Callaway has the square FT-i driver. Many other golf companies which I visited with at the PGA Show are rushing to the CAD station to draft up square models of their drivers and woods to jump on the bandwagon.

Does square really make a difference? The club face is still the same isn’t it? How much better can the balance, the MOI, the COG and other technologies in a driver (or other club) head get without breaking USGA and R&A regulations?

Thus the newest Hooked On Golf Blog poll has been posted:

Do you believe square drivers perform better than standard drivers?

I just found one more video from my time at the TaylorMade booth in the 2007 PGA Merchandise Show. So this one is the final TaylorMade video I have.

In this video Brian explains the TaylorMade Burner driver. The Burner is the “bomber’s” version of their two drivers and the brother to the TaylorMade r7 SuperQuad driver.
