Titanium Bubble 2 from Taylor Made has "hotter" sweet spot

Orlando, Fla. Taylor Made engineers have taken 300 grams out of the walls of the Burner Bubble 2 allowing for a 20 per cent increase in the size of the clubhead.

The new Titaium Burner Bubble 2 makes for a larger and purportedly "hotter" sweet spot.

Taylor Made has also altered the Bubble shaft in an effort to increase clubhead speed. "We have moved the weight down in the Ti Bubble 2, lowering the club's moment of inertia", said Dick Rugge, manager for product development.

The change is accompanied by an even lighter shaft - both factors in improving clubhead speed. The increase in speed , in tirn, correlates to an increase in distance.

To help keep the longer ball in the fairway Taylor Made has enhanced the K-sole of the club by extending it further along the clubhead bottom. The larger sole is said to provide reinforcement to diminish the efforts of the off-centred hits.

The new club has a recommended retail price of $589.
