How is the new Burner's distance. Is it further than most new drivers?

The Burner (and the SuperQuad) are the longest drivers TaylorMade has ever made, and it's not because of the extra length in the shaft in the Burner, although that does help swingspeed. The Burner's center of gravity is waaay back, which promotes a piercing ball flight as well as a resistance to twisting. The Burner really has been an unexpected hit for TM, as they were banking on the SuperQuad being the big seller this Spring, and now they are swimming in back order logs for the Burner since demand is far outstripping their current supply. This issue may also have to do with the affordability of the Burner as it's about 100$ cheaper than the SuperQuad. They haven't tested the Burner yet, but Golf Magazine did a test with the newest offerings from Nike, Callaway and the SuperQuad from TM. check out the link below to read about it.
Anyway sorry for getting a little off topic with the SuperQuad, but the Burner is a bomber, and the feel off the face is awesome... just solid.
Make sure you get into the right shaft for optimal performance though. I've hit the Burner with a few different shaft and loft combos and gotten dramatically different results. (as with any driver)
hope this helps and good luck on the course!

No, not the longest. Tour Edge offers the Exotics prototype driver with virtually weld-free titanium head coupled with a carbon nano- tube technology shaft. Doesn't get any better than that.

Yes its one of the longest today, but one of the reasons is because the shaft is 46" long instead of the standard 45" so its longer but also less accurate.

Very, very long, if you are a straight hitter.
