TaylorMade AeroBurner Soft and AeroBurner Pro golf balls
TaylorMade continues to expand its AeroBurner line, this time with two new golf balls.
The Carlsbad-based company has released the AeroBurner Soft ($19.99 per dozen) and AeroBurner Pro balls ($26.99 per dozen) to complement its premium Tour Preferred models and popular Project (a) golf ball.
Appropriately, the AeroBurner Soft is the company’s softest two-piece ball. The company’s dual objective in designing the Soft: impressive distance, plus stopping power.
For the AeroBurner Soft, TaylorMade developed a softer core to enhance ball speed and has outfitted the ball with 342 high-lift, low-drag dimples. That gives the ball a higher launch angle, which should help its target audience — golfers with slightly slower club head speeds — generate more distance.
[quote_center]“This ball is a distance ball that actually stops,” said Mike Ferris, TaylorMade’s VP, Golf Ball and Accessories. “It’s for most golfers who only hit 4 greens a round of golf. This can be a real par saver.”[/quote_center]
In addition to the AeroBurner Soft, the company is rolling out a three-piece ball: the Aeroburner Pro.
The Pro is designed for higher ball speeds off the club face and is engineered for more stopping power thanks to the addition of a middle layer, TaylorMade’s Spin Mantle, and the company’s proprietary Iothane cover.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Played both the Wilson duo spin and the callaway chrome soft…here’s my opinion (1 hdcp) duo goes 7 yards further with irons doesn’t spin as much as callway chrome soft. Driver duo is just slightly longer say 5-7 yards with a higher launch angle. duo-spin is cheaper so it is what your golf needs are and how much you play and your handicap!

That duo is amazing. Wilson really nailed it. I am using up the balls I got for Christmas and then saving my duos for my good rounds mid summer.

TM’s answer to CG’s supersoft. Haven’t found a ball that even comes close to the supersoft feel and low compression. Outstanding ball around the greens.

Then you haven’t played the Wilson Staff Duo. It’s the real thing. Callaway’s is a knock off.

How does this compare to Callaway’s Supersoft and Chrome Soft? That should be your next article. For my money, the Supersoft is great at distance and low spin.

In about three months, we’ll see these same balls in a new and improved version just like their clubs.
