TaylorMade Burner Irons By Year: The Complete List!

Since 1993, TaylorMade Burner irons have been a staple offering for golfers seeking forgiveness and launch, without sacrificing feel and workability.

With releases spanning three decades, the Burner iron series is undoubtedly a success. While some early models catered to low-handicappers — including players on the PGA Tour — later models focused on game improvement.

In this article, you’ll find a complete list of TaylorMade Burner irons by year.

TaylorMade Burner Irons By Year

Here is a full list of every TaylorMade Burner iron release:

TaylorMade Burner Irons: 1990-1999

When the original TaylorMade Burner Midsize irons hit the scene in 1993, their construction and midsize profile were a revelation for the time.

Constructed using a unique foam-filled stainless steel cast head, the Burner Midsize irons offered a combination of feel and forgiveness. Similar foam technology is used by TaylorMade today, referred to as SpeedFoam Air .

The TaylorMade Burner midsize irons sparked a shift away from traditional forged blade irons, instead focusing on the lucrative game improvement market.

Check out the video below, where The Vintage Golfer tests them out:

Building on the success of the original Burner midsize irons, TaylorMade pushed the limits of clubhead size in 1996 with the revolutionary Burner Bubble irons.

These irons featured an oversized profile and “bubble” technology. This involved a hollow lower portion and a thin face to improve forgiveness and launch.

TaylorMade continued to improve its oversized cavity back iron technology through the late 1990s, leading to the 1999 release of the Burner SuperSteel irons.

Constructed from super tough 15-5 stainless steel, these irons had a lower center of gravity to promote higher launching shots and greater forgiveness. Advanced vibration damping gave them a soft, solid feel at impact as well.

TaylorMade Burner Irons: 2000-2009

taylormade burner plus irons

For almost a decade, other TaylorMade irons like the 2003 RAC irons were released to meet the company’s game improvement offering. But in 2008, TaylorMade finally unveiled the Tour Burner and standard Burner Plus irons.

The Tour Burner irons were the first to utilize both steel and composite materials in a hybrid construction design. This opened the door for custom-tuned performance, with weight strategically placed to optimize launch and spin.

Conversely, the Burner Plus irons were modeled on previous Burner releases, incorporating classic Burner styling focused on maximum distance. Improved vibration damping gave them a responsive feel, even on mishits.

Then in 2009, TaylorMade launched the acclaimed Burner 1.0 irons. Designed to deliver easy distance to a wide range of players, these irons featured expanded face areas and low/deep center of gravity. The “Inverted Cone” clubface promoted fast, consistent ball speeds, while updated internal acoustics enhanced feel.

TaylorMade Burner Irons: 2010-2019

In 2010, TaylorMade launched the Burner 2.0 irons. For this design, TaylorMade engineered each iron individually — rather than simply altering the loft angle. This results in uniform distance gaps, increased playability, and better sound and feel.

Each club head also receives unique weight placement, allowing the CG location to be precision-placed to optimize ball flight for each iron in the set.

Most recently in 2015, TaylorMade debuted the AeroBurner . These irons embody everything the Burner series set out to be, featuring low CG and high MOI for ultimate forgiveness, distance, and launch.

For many everyday golfers, long irons are a weakness. The Aeroburner irons have a “Speed Pocket” built into the sole, which helps maintain ball speed even on thin shots that are typical from the longer irons in the set.

Balancing powerful metals with vibration-damping adhesives, AeroBurner irons deliver forgiveness and playability to players across a wide range of abilities.

TaylorMade Launches Tour Burner Driver, Irons, and More

TaylorMade has a new driver with 1,071 sets of different launch conditions to choose from. Ouch, my head is starting to hurt.

I was able to take a closer look at several of the new offerings while attending the Minnesota Golf Show last month and I think TaylorMade has some pretty nice clubs coming out. I’m looking forward to see if any of their new offerings will knock out my golf bag’s current occupants.

So come along as we check out what TaylorMade has to offer. Tour Burner Driver One word can describe the new Tour Burner driver: light. By utilizes what Taylormade calls “Dual Crown technology” where the crown is smaller than the sole and comes in 12% lighter that the Burner driver . Additional weight was saved using their Ultra-Thin Wall casting technology, which allows the walls of the clubhead to be a minuscule 0.55 millimeters thick.

Tour Burner TP

Add in TaylorMade’s Inverted Cone technology, which is “characterized by a shallow cone milled directly onto the inner side of the clubface, changes the way the face behaves at impact so that a larger area of the face delivers higher ball speed.” That combination produces an “effective MOI” that comes close to USGA’s limit on MOI.

To help increase your swing speed and give you more distance, the Tour Burner features a 60-gram Superfast shaft with lower torque, a lighter grip, and a club length of 45.5 inches. The Tour Burner is available in April and will carry a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $499 but a quick check of some online retailers shows a price of $399.

The Tour Burner TP has a few differences from the regular Tour Burner such as having a 2° open clubface (compared to square), your choice of three shafts such as the Matrix Ozik Xcon-5 (55-grams), Mitsubishi Diamana Whiteboard 65 (65-grams) and Fujikura Rombax Z 75 (75-grams) and a standard weight grip.

Like the Tour Burner, the TP version will be available in April but you’ll pay a bit more for the upgrades as the manufacturer’s suggested retail price comes in at $699 with a street price of $599.

Tour Burner Irons The Tour Burner irons have a thin clubface that “delivers high COR for increased ball speed and distance” as well as the Inverted Cone technology featured in their drivers which “enlarges the portion of the clubface that delivers high ball speed, allowing Tour Burner to promote improved ball speed and distance on off-center hits.” More weighting on the toe and heel increases the MOI of the Tour Burner irons for better stability on those pesky off-center hits.

TaylorMade also incorporates something called a “multi-functional sole” which is “beveled at the back to make it perform like a much thinner sole, which increases playability from a variety of lies. The multi-functional sole also features a low and deeper center of gravity that makes it easy to launch the ball on a powerful and penetrating flight.

Tour Burner Irons

The Tour Burner irons feature a “tour-inspired clubhead shape” (is everything now “tour-inspired?”) with a medium top-line and moderate offset as well as a chrome-plated satin-buff finish. Also, there is a “badge” that is in the back cavity that due to it’s design and the adhesive used to stick it there helps “to tune the feel and sound at impact.” To me, they are a bit too funky to look at but I typically don’t like a lot of pizazz going on with the back of my irons.

You have the option of either the Burner 105 steel shaft made by True Temper or the graphite Burner REAX 65-gram shaft and either will come with the TaylorMade Tour Velvet made by Golf Pride .

The Tour Burner irons are available from a 2-iron through 9-iron plus a 46° pitching wedge, 55° sand wedge, 50° “attack” wedge and a 60° lob wedge and can be yours in April. A set of Tour Burner irons (3-PW) will run $840 (MSRP) for steel ($699 street) and $1,040 (MSRP) for graphite ($899 street). Individual clubs are available in steel for $105 MSRP (under $90 street) and $135 MSRP for graphite (under $113 street).

Z TP Wedges The new Z TP wedges feature the new “Z groove that promotes increased spin to help stop the ball more quickly”. Why Z? Well, its because the R&D team “uses letters of the alphabet to name the grooves it develops.” Whatever their reasoning, Z TP wedge sounds pretty cool and it looks good to boot.

Z TP Wedge

Sharp edges on the Z grooves also help promote “shot-stopping bite.” Like most of the newer wedges out there today, I’m sure the Z TP will gladly eat up a few of your softer-covered balls for lunch. Like previous TaylorMade wedges, the Z TP has the feel pockets on the backside of the clubhead to help lessen vibration from impact to give you a soft and smooth feel. I liked the rac TP wedges so I’m looking forward to giving these a try.

The “smoky-looking PVD” finish looks pretty cool as well. The Z TP wedge is offered in five lofts: 52°, 54°, 56°, 58° and 60°. The 54°, 56°, 58° will feature TaylorMade’s C-grind sole which was developed with input from TaylorMade’s tour staff.

You can add a Z TP wedge to your golf bag in April for a MSRP of $140 and a street price of $120.

r7 CGB MAX Limited Driver Well the folks who introduced you to Movable Weight Technology (MWT) have raised the bar a bit higher as they have now added SelectFit technology to now allow you to change the shaft of your club. If the number of choices you had before with MWT made you a bit crazy, the 1,071 sets of different launch conditions offered by the r7 CGB MAX Limited will leave you totally befuddled.

The titanium head is slightly different from the standard r7 CGB as it is more rounded than triangular and the red color looks much nicer as well. Your “Tour Van in a Box” comes with the new clubhead with three movable weight ports, three shafts which include the Matrix Ozik Xcon-5 (55-grams), Mitsubishi Diamana Whiteboard 65 (65-grams) and Fujikura Rombax Z 75 (75-grams) as well as a magnetic headcover, nine movable weights, two shaft-securing bolts and a special torque wrench specifically designed for the Limited. All of this fits nicely in it’s own “beautifully designed box.” I’m not sure if the kitchen sink is included, but it very well could be.

r7 CGB Exploded

I like choices as much as the next guy but I’m not sure if the average golfer has a clue about what shaft is the best for them unless they have spent some quality time on a launch monitor and giving them three shaft choices with the same club seems to be a bit excessive.

Of course, the average golfer probably isn’t going to shell out the $999 it’s going to cost you to put the r7 CGB MAX Limited in your bag either. Don’t get me wrong, its a beautiful looking club and it felt nice when I took a couple swings with it at the Minnesota Golf show but it seems to be marketed for the ultimate “driver geek” who had a lot of extra cash laying around.

It will be interesting to see how TaylorMade uses the SelectFit technology and whether or not it remains just for use in a limited series club or something that will benefit golf retailers as they now don’t have to stock quite as many demo clubs to find the perfect one for you.

Final Thoughts I always had a thing for TaylorMade drivers as I’ve gone from the 200 Series, the original r7 and last year to the r460 TP so they always are high on my list when I get the urge to check out new drivers. Last year’s Burner didn’t appeal to me too much but the new Tour Burner is one for sure I’ll test out on the launch monitor and the range.

I’m also looking forward to trying out the new Z TP wedges to see how the Z grooves perform. They certainly are some of the nicer looking wedges out there today. Spring can’t get here fast enough.

Just as we’re easing into one of the most onerous recessions in the last 40 years, TaylorMade, Callaway and others ( bless their little corporate heads ) offer us every combination of club head and shaft our dwindling dollars can buy.

I am pleased to be offerred such a range of options, although I doubt that I will often, if ever, take full advantage of the opportunity they present one. Ah well, I guess we are as close as we may be to buying a game. Of course, when genetics can be more readily manipulated, one of my grandchildren may be so manipulated, prior to birth, that he/she will have the physical prowess and talent of Tiger Woods, which, I suppose one could call truly buying a game.

In the meantime, I shall work on my measley swing and grumble about the poor aesthetics of the new Tour Burner irons, illustrated above: the height of technology has reached a new low in appearance.

I am excited about the new wedges. I have the 52 degree TP wedge right now and I really enjoy. I am in the market for a new 60 degree wedge and now I may be waiting for these to hit the market.

Those new Taylor irons are easily the ugliest things the company has ever produced, and arguably the cheesiest design I have ever seen from a major manufacterer. They look like they were made by Fisher-Price, not Taylor Made. I have played nothing but Taylor woods since I was in high school 20 years ago, so I am a fan of the company. But good lord. You could get vertigo staring at the backs of these things for too long.

I just bought a Burner Drvier (draw). It was so good that I can hit longer and no slice!

i LOve how the irons look can’t wait to play with em. am glad so many people dont like the looks so i wont see my clubs in every other golf bag i see 😛

I played with the new burner wedges yesterday. I don’t really care how a club looks as long as it preforms, and these irons preform with a capital P. I am getting the driver in a couple days (the burner) so I guess I will see if my love hate relationship with golf can finally be nothin but love.

i love the new irons and i don’t care what ppl think about the looks its all about how it performs. Kenny Perry recently used them in acouple tourneys so they can’t be bad. SO DONT HATE lol

also btw the ugly flag type things on the back, you cant see them in real life otherwise that would look terrible.

bought the tour burner driver and what a great buy.that good i went and bought the BEAUTIFUL irons as well and they are every bit as good.

I bought the new Tour Burner driver .R flex, 10.5º loft. The club sits slightly closed at address which inspires confidence, and I have hit the fairway consistently with it. I find it almost impossible to slice or hit a big fade, as it seems to track down the middle, or with a draw.

The club is very light, and providing your tempo is there or there abouts, it does the work for you. if you are a hard hitter go for the stiff shaft, but I have to say the choice I made has been awesome for me of a mid h/cap.

H/cap 15 Marbella Spain

I just bought the Tour Burner 10.5 R after demoing a variety of drivers from TaylorMade, Callaway, Cleveland, Titleist, MacGregor. I think it’s impossible to say what will work best for any one person. It depends on you and your swing. I was slicing the Cleveland, and the guy next to me on the range was absolutely loving it.

For me, there was a big difference between the one I bought and all the others. But I also found a big difference between the TourBurner 10.5 R and the 10.5 S.

So, on to the club itself. Wow. It is long. The ball just seems to hang up there for a long time. With my old driver, I usually hit 235-245 yard drives (I know we all like to think we hit 250 yard drives, but almost no one really hits it that far consistently). If I really put a good move on the ball, I might drive it 260 once in a while.

With this driver, my average drive seems to be 260. Two drives today were 290 (downhill, with roll, but still, 290? Never, ever put the ball there before).

I can work it both ways. I can consistently fade it when I need to.

More than the pick up in distance, though, is the consistency. I know when I ordinarily would pull hook it if I’m a bit too quick from the top, or if I slide and slice it, there is a larger margin of safety and I might end up on the left or right edge of the fairway, instead of in the trees between fairways.

Still, though, you have to put a good move on the ball. You can still slice it to the next fairway or duck hook it if you’re not careful. But you can get away with a bit more than with older drivers. A nice smooth swing is all you need.

Bought it, put it in my bag, played my first round with it today, and shot my best round of the year.

just bought the tour burner 10.5 s today, loved the feel and consistency. first game with it tomorrow and captains prize on sunday, c’ant wait… 😎

I’m thinkin of gettin the tour burner irons and i dont care if they look a bit different as long as they play well. But are they too good for a 18 handicapper. any responses back would be appriciaciated.

I’m a 20 handicapper and I don’t think they are “too good” for me. Sure they don’t give that much back if you don’t hit the sweetspot, but I like them anyways. Love how they feel and the weight is nice as well. (Real Tour-irons is a bit too light for my taste so far) Bought them a week ago, and they are starting to like me as much as I like them. So if you don’t care about how they look (I like them though), go get em!

Would these irons be good for a 12 year old 4 handicaper? 😐

Traded in Cleveland Hi Bore XL for newer XLS model, which turned out to be a big mistake. Desperately needed a replacement. Decided to buy the Tour Burner 9.5* with stiff shaft to go with the already owned R7 TP irons. Couldn’t be happier with the results. First ball hit with a smooth and relaxed swing carried 250-260 yds with the head still in original plastic and taped. Consistency was there after several tries. Took off the wrapping and tape, ball carried 270-280 yds with good roll out. Couldn’t believe the consistency in terms of trajectory and shot dispersion. So far, the best driver ever owned. Thank you Taylor Made!

I just bought a Taylor Made Tour Bruner driver. It is super light, and the impact feels nice. However, I always had stiff shafts and I found this one partulary stiff…. it is just me or it is more stiff than usual ???

I just purchased the Tour Burner Irons…….WOW……Straight……high and on the greens.

No, Brian. The Tour Burner shafts in the mid flex range are a normal stiff, but Taylormade tipped the end of the shaft to make it stiffer. So, to answer your question, the middle of the shaft is stiff while the tip is closer to an x-stiff. My advice, go ahead and stay with the stiff flex. You’ll get used to the tip.

Those new Taylor irons are easily the ugliest things the company has ever produced, and arguably the cheesiest design I have ever seen from a major manufacterer. They look like they were made by Fisher-Price, not Taylor Made. I have played nothing but Taylor woods since I was in high school 20 years ago, so I am a fan of the company. But good lord. You could get vertigo staring at the backs of these things for too long. Yeesh!

Looks don’t really mean anything. If you had played these clubs rather than just look at them you wouldn’t care what they look like. They are fantastic. So go be ignorant and make stupid comments somewhere else.

I bought the Taylormade Tour Burner Driver as a father’s day gift. I had a coupon and it was on clearance so I got a really good deal.

I’m returning to the game after a 30+ year layoff. The first club I purchased was the TB driver. Next will be a putter.

I have the 10.5/Reg/65 LH model. It is light and a breeze to swing. I have been able to hit the fairways consistently. I have also been able to outdrive my son a couple of times.

Very pleased! Thanks Taylormade for a great club. Worth the investment.

I am a high but rapidly improving high handicapper who has played with many Taylor Made iron sets made since 1998. Burner LCG’s, Firesole, 320’s. Series 300 wedges, Forged 300’s, and now Tour Burner. I put together a set of TB’s one at a time 4-PW for $288 new. Played with the 4,6,PW first w R flex graphite, decided I liked them and proceeded to get the rest in various shafts. Now am putting on TB 105 S flex on all. What is clear to me as a 25 Hdcp is that like the 300’s, 320’s, and 300 wedges, one must hit these correctly to get results, but not as perfectly as the early models due to the weighting and the ICT (inverted cone technology). The titanium face can make some hits (high on face) seem very harsh, but results are there. If you look at the Burner LCG’s as compared to the new TB’s, one sees a great similarity in design in terms of the extreme heel/toe weighting. The LGC’s with the midsize face (but larger than the TB’s) are really easy to hit, and with the soft steel used at the time provide great feel. I get about 5-10 more yards out of the TB’s as compared to the LCG’s mostly due I think to the lighter shaft of the TB’s (TT 105 v.s. DG R300). The Firesoles have the same cavity design as the 300 series irons and wedges and are my favorite clubs to use. They have the same face profile as the LCG’s so are forgiving but are special due to the use of various metals through the set. Firesoles were the first irons ever to use this concept and each club is optimized to acheive its particular function. In my opinion the firesoles are the best irons TM ever made. But what I am really saying is that once the cavity back iron was developed, iron technology really has not changed that much. I enjoy the new TB’s and even at my level they perform as advertised (workable, trajectory, feel, distance). I look forward to improving my swing and using the TB’s as my regular irons and really take advantage of their construction. But for comfort and reliability I will go back to my Firesole’s and LCG’s when the swing isn’t quite there.

From a professional designer-

I’m guessing you’re not the moderator here, so I’ll go ahead and suggest that uglande can say anything he wants. A commentary on design is absolutely valid, and more so considering he’s not discussing performance.

I think they look like a 1980s high school art class all collaborated (and failed) on a “graphic design marketing” assignment. However, that failure would not be expressed, and, instead, everyone just said how proud they are and hung it in the glass case in the hallway.

Context has a lot to do with perception. There’s no NASCAR logo to be seen. It’s just a bad design.

BTW, just bought the Tour Burner 10.5 w/a stiff shaft and took it to the range today. Loving it.

Have been playing the tb irons for 2 monthes, a huge upgrade from my big bertha irons. love the workability just ordered the r7 cgb limited to try and replace my superquad. will be hard to do though it holds a special place in my bag.i guess if you are looking at the back of every ones irons your not driving the ball far enough. donovan Thornton 8 handicap

Just played my Tour Burner 10.5 for the first time last Friday.

For the record, I’ve never owned/used one of the “new design type” driver (big face, forgiving) and have always been pensive about hitting off the tee with a driver.

No more. After Friday, really, for the first time, I look into whipping it off the tee.

The club was really comfortable and sure, I lost a few balls – including one that just sliced high and way far out of sight.. – but I’m really looking forward to gaining yardage from the tee I was always holding back on for fear of not getting the sweet spot.

Summary.. I like it 😉

Would The 10.5 reg flex TB be a good driver for someone that is relatively new to the sport or should I say at beginner level? I have right now a 10.5 reg flex Top Flite and have been playing for about 5 months and Im not really happy with the Club.

TaylorMade M2 and M2 Tour Irons: What you need to know

tour burner iron lofts

  • The M2 irons are TaylorMade’s “longest iron ever,” according to the company. The M2 Tour irons have a more compact design that doesn’t offer quite as much distance, but allows for more trajectory control.

taylormade m2 iron

  • The M2 irons replace both TaylorMade’s RSi 1 and AeroBurner irons in the company’s product line. They use TaylorMade’s new Fluted hosels, which allowed 3 grams of weight to be moved lower and deeper in the clubheads and improves their feel. A new 360-degree undercut design, which removes weight from the top of the clubheads, also helped move weight lower in the clubheads.

f6863bae054d9afa7a8c9f8017c7071a

  • Like all of TaylorMade’s recent iron launches, the M2 and M2 Tour irons use the company’s Speed Pocket, a urethane-filled slot in the sole of the 3-7 irons.

The soles of the M2 (left) and M2 Tour irons.

The soles of the M2 (left) and M2 Tour irons.

  • TaylorMade has used several different versions of Speed Pockets in its irons in recent years, each of which was designed to offer specific performance benefits. The slot in the M2 and M2 Tour irons is what TaylorMade calls a “Blind Version” of its Speed Pocket. It is located farther from the sole of the club to increase launch angle.
  • The higher-launch of the M2 and M2 Tour irons allowed TaylorMade to strengthen the lofts of the clubs, which increases ball speed and lowers spin for added distance. Despite their stronger lofts (M2 6 iron: 25 degrees, M2 Tour 6 iron: 26.5 degrees), the M2 and M2 Tour irons will fly higher than TaylorMade’s PSi and PSi Tour irons.

TaylorMade's M2 Tour irons.

TaylorMade’s M2 Tour irons.

  • Neither the M2 nor the M2 Tour irons use the company’s Face Slots , a feature added to the company’s PSi and PSi Tour irons that were released late in 2015. According to Tomo Bystedt, TaylorMade’s director of iron product creation, the large, thin faces of the M2 and M2 Tour irons didn’t benefit from the technology, which is most effective in more compact irons such as TaylorMade’s PSi.

8bb69e67b401494ce7c35daa03f2008a

  • Both the M2 and M2 Tour irons use TaylorMade’s Thin-Face, Inverted Cone clubfaces, which improve distance consistency by thickening the center of the clubfaces. The technology helps bad shots fly more similar to good shots.

M2_Irons_Tech

  • According to Bystedt, the M2 irons have a 6 percent larger unsupported face area than the RSi 1 irons. To reduce the vibrations of the more flexible clubfaces, the M2 irons use a new 3-dimensional badge, which has V-shaped struts that improve the sound and feel of the irons. The badges are stiffer than previous TaylorMade iron badges to better dampen vibrations, yet do not compromise the flexing of the clubfaces at impact.

tour burner iron lofts

The M2 Tour irons don’t have the fluted-hosel design of the M2 irons, which along with their thinner toplines, soles and reduced offset gives them a more traditional look. The M2 Tour irons also use a satin PVD finish, whereas the M2 irons use a polished PVD finish.

  • Compared to the PSi irons , the M2 Tour irons will create slightly more distance, but will not have the same soft feel at impact.
  • The M2 irons ($799 steel, $899 graphite, 8 pieces) are available Feb. 19. They’re offered in 4-PW, AW, SW and LW. The stock shaft is TaylorMade’s Reax 88 High-Launch (Steel) or M2 Reax Graphite (45L, 55M, 65R, 75S).

M2_Specs

  • The M2 Tour Irons ($899 Steel, 8 pieces) will be available March 15. They’re offered in 3-PW, AW, SW. The stock shaft is True Temper’s XP95.

Boy, some like to get upset over things that really don’t affect them at all. Like Taylormade said, the design allowed for them to lower the lofts due to higher launch. I’m betting they would have people complaining how the irons hit it too high now if they kept the loft where they were. I adjust the lofts on my clubs so my spacing is more to my liking. This has been going on before the m2 so why the argument. You are probably not going to buy them anyways. Step into a golf shop and test them out for yourself and see if you like them and get you the results you are looking for. Same argument happened when 300cc plus heads came out and Titanium was being used. Really folks. Come on. So instead of a 6 you hit a 7. There you go.

So my 7-iron goes to high, lets bend the loft down 4 degrees to where the 6 was. Of course, no one stops to think the 6 that was also going too high at that loft. What TM is doing is making a club that gives you a low spinning flyer on every shot, exactly what a good player needs. Control?, we don’t need no stinking control.

tour burner iron lofts

Jan 30, 2016 at 2:56 am

I don’t really mind the jacked up lofts of some of these GI irons, but I understand the argument against it, especially when the company strictly markets the set as “longest ever.” What I don’t understand is, if these clubs are made for the mid to high handicapper and the 6 iron has the loft of a 4 iron, why even make a 5, 4, and especially the 3 iron. What percentage of mid to high handicappers can consistently hit a 21.5* iron 10 yards further than the 25* iron in that same set? I fit higher handicappers for clubs all the time and 9 out of 10 times, they can’t hit a traditional 4 iron high enough to even think about holding a green. OK, so the consumer doesn’t buy 8 irons and they fill their bag with two extra wedges and another hybrid…great for them, that is what they should do. Why does the manufacturer even make the 3-5 irons? I really hope it’s not because the manufacturers think that the consumer won’t buy the set if they can’t get 3-PW.

Jan 31, 2016 at 5:46 am

Because they will argue that the lofts accommodate the new lower cg’s they achieve, which I think is BS. Loft has 90% of the say when it comes to height. This can only be good for golfers who over spin or launch it way too high, but you need a bit of swing speed for that unless you’re a special case. They will probably go boast how Dustin hits the “4iron” 300 yards at the coast.

Now I am in the progress of buying new clubs for my wife and she actually ebded looking at TM. Now she hit the RSI 1 which are rather traditional looking and she really likes those. Actually I picked her the RSI and the new M2 irons to hit them on the range on weekend. While the finish of the M2 is interesting, they are quite bulky and the topline is about 30% thicker. The plastic on the back of the club is not giving me the confidence it will stand the time. The RSI on the other side is really nice looking club and I like the Slot technology on the face. What I do like about the Rsi is the fact that GW/AW and SW/LW are more like traditional looking wedges and are slick and sharp. I have not seen the M2 wedges but dont think they will be as nice as the RSI one. Pricewise you look at 20% difference on single clubs. Hosel on the M2 as well as the 25* on 6 iron are just a bad joke. Another reason to go with the RSI 1. It may come down to performance but my wife already prefers the RSi without having hit the M2 yet. We will see.

Alright, this is very, very simple everyone. We all have our favorite manufacturers for one reason or another, and we justify it for ourselves and stick to our loyalties. That really doesn’t matter, and no one cares if you love Ping, Titleist, TM, Callaway, Adams, or whatever else…that’s not what’s driving the loft anger. It boils down to this: progressively over the years companies have been labeling the same lofted clubs with progressively lower numbers. i.e., a PW used to be 52* in the 70’s. Titleist’s 716 MB’s (just an example, don’t freak out that I said the ‘T’ word) have a 47* PW. Yes technology has improved in the past 40 years, BUT, companies have also used ‘loft strengthening’ (which is just relabeling the club) to help stroke all our egos and make us feel like MEN because we hit our PWs 150 yards (just using my numbers for an example y’all).

SO, when a company comes out boasting about how long their irons are and you start looking at the data on the clubs and see that clubs with a loft of 25* that was a ~4 iron a few years ago and is now labeled a 6 iron in this set (and others), it really becomes more of a ‘did they really develop anything here, or just relabel their clubs?’ conversation. No one cares how far your hitting your 6 iron, we care about companies rolling out supposed new technology that actually appears that most of the distance gains they’re claiming are just in the changing of the label of the club. Its about wanting to really see the game and technology progressed, not just throwing out gimmicks that all companies are guilty of.

Taylormade gets beat up on a lot because they market a lot wider and more aggressively than most other companies. Pay attention to the number of Taylormade ads for clubs that you see compared to ads for other golf club companies. So when you see them constantly, and they have a super short product cycle, some people start seeing them sort of as the Wal-Mart of golf club companies. There’s a place for them, absolutely, but as we all know not everyone loves Wal-Mart and will lash out against them and their supporters. Then on the flip side you get the Wal-Mart supporters who want to defend the company they’re loyal to…and some of those people come back to this article 5 or 6 times to troll people and spew nonsense ;)…and you end up with the disaster you see throughout this page of people just arguing to argue and it’s not even about what is accurate and correct anymore, but just making the a lot of noise and screaming ‘this company’ ‘no, that company’…rabble rabble rabble.

Make sense?

I don’t really care about the lofts or the number on the bottom of the club. I am looking to find out if these are a good forgiving club. I can not really find anything on how these are made other than what taylormade says on their site. I am trying to fingure out if these new irons are a gimmick club like the aeroburners or are they a true forgiving workable club like the RSIs. I am in the market for a new set and I would like to get a long but workable set. Should I just get the RSi or should i wait for these to come out. Any input would be very helpful.

Jan 29, 2016 at 1:16 am

You should go hit a wide variety of clubs and stop trying to figure out what works for you by reading things on the internet. It’s a great way to get an idea of what your interested in, but that’s about it. My gut feeling is they’re a gimmick, simply because they’re labeling a 25 degree iron as a 6 iron, which is a 4 iron in most sets, and more traditionally a 3 iron. You said you don’t care about the number or loft…but this is a HUGE red flag if your talking gimmicks. It’s a typical way for companies to say ‘This is the longest iron EVER!!!!! Your 6 iron will go as far as your old 4 iron!!!’ Yep. Sure will. But like I said, GO HIT IT, compare, and keep and open mind. You never know what you’ll actually like and will work best for you, regardless of brand, price, or age of the club without putting numbers side by side.

People with slower swing speeds need more than 4* gaps between clubs to get the 10-15 yards distance gaps. Stop bashing the club based on the lofts until you try them!

Jan 29, 2016 at 5:57 pm

My advise is to go with the RSi as the more traditional looking clubs that you will have fun with. You also can save up to 300$ that you can invest in a wood or driver. Or get yourself extra GW/AW and LW and a 23* JetSpeed hybrid. Then you have a nice golf set h5,6-PW,AW,SW,LW for next 2-3 seasons with reasonable resale value.

Let me tell you the minute you put these in your hand and hit them you will love them. I hit the RSi and PSi along with ping g30 and max and these were smooth, great feel soft high and great distance. I have lost weight due to surgery and lost distance. These clubs make up for my loss. Just purchased them today. Can’t wait to get them.

I recently fell into the Taylor Made wagon, I’m very happy I did. The short product cycle made it possible to find a “just returned” set of PSI irons for 60% of retail, by far the best irons I ever played. The sound and feel are second to none. These are long -PW is 45-, but the shaft fits me PERFECTLY. In my opinion, the perfect club is one that you like and matches your handicap and has a shaft that you can “load” even when your swing is not 100%, or late in the round. I play to a 10 handicap so the heads are not too small, and the shafts are KBS 90, a little higher trajectory, exactly what I needed. In the past I played Mizuno, Bridgestone, Callaway and Titleist, none had full combination user specific characteristics: head look, feel, sound, shaft and grip that fit me.

I just can’t see why no face slots. The face slot is the single only reason I’d consider buying a Taylormade iron, ever. To disclose the face slot from this model seems to me the easy way to make more faster, but I can’t see the difference between these and Burner irons. I’ll not be buying. The drivers are great though, I don’t mean to knock the whole operation.

Before the 90’s there really was no such thing as a GW or AW, because PW was 48, 49, and sometimes 50. And then we had SW. Practically the whole world freaked out when they heard you can get a LW at 60 degrees to flip it up in the air. So what were you saying then? Nothing’s been manipulated. 14 clubs is 14 clubs. That hasn’t changed since that rule came into being. You still have to figure out your own gaps in yardages, regardless of what kind of clubs you have up to the 14. If you haven’t figured that out, then it’s time you did.

This type of hype and continuous marketing of new, better than the last Super set we sold you is why I do not buy! To this day I have not found a better set of irons than my 2008 Callaway FT 4-Lob (more traditional lofts and length-these clubs were way ahead of their time), they just work, traditional lofts keep my swing on plane, anything else lets say 1/2 over length or more just plays havoc with my tempo and plane.

I think this is more the parent company mentality than a golf equipment company, Nike same thing, Callaway close and look at the length/loft of the new (intriguing) Wilson D and C-200’s are. It really is as commented on earlier a sad commentary, also that clubs are more important than lessons, I found out the hard way and it wasn’t cheap. 90% of golfers today swing over the top, correct that and you can play just about any club.

The loft gaps don’t make sense to me. Compared to drivers though, there is less mass and less materials to work with, so anyone expecting incredible technology advancements in irons is just being unrealistic. The lofts I guess is just the only way anyone can figure out how to create more distance in the irons. For those that are mocking the look and relating it to past models, that’s extremely hypocritical. The only major OEM that redesigns iron appearance is Callaway. PING and Titleist have been creating the same irons for 20 years.

What’s up with those sticks? My five iron has 27 deg loft. My gaps run four degrees between all irons and five degrees between wedges. These gaps are all over the place. Two and a half to five degrees. You can talk all you want about them flying higher, but as a product it seems to me that distance control would be all over the place with these. There have to be better things out there than these.

Did you read the article? These aren’t replacing the PSi. These are replacing the RSi 1 and Aeroburner. PSi replaces RSi 2. If only you JUST understood the concept of it.

Concept??? Replacing irons every 4-6 months is not a concept is called robbery!!

2* gaps in the long irons and a 43* PW / 49* AW? What on earth? So you’ll have a 5 yard gap in the long irons and a 20 yard gap where it really counts? Good luck adjusting these lofts if you dare. SNAP goes the clubhead.

Jan 25, 2016 at 9:36 am

a 33* degree 8 iron….hahaha even if it launches high with little spin is anyone going to be able to hold greens?

i think we’re officially to the point where the 4-pw is now the 5-aw.

Jan 25, 2016 at 9:34 am

I hope no one actually buys these. The clubs are over a club stronger than traditional lofts. And a two degree gap between 3, 4, & 5? Lets not even get started on the 43* PW…

Jan 25, 2016 at 12:51 pm

If memory serves me correctly, the Aeroburner iron had a 42* PW. It is crazy though.

Jan 25, 2016 at 9:11 am

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. 2* loft gaps between the M2 4 & 5 irons. 5 iron loft is 5* stronger than just 10 years ago. Then the same loft was a 3 iron. Irons are for precision, not distance. It goes to show how gullible the golfing public is.

5 equipment questions with Nick Dunlap’s club fitter about his winning setup

tour burner iron lofts

Although we spotted Rory McIlroy testing the new TaylorMade BRNR Mini Driver Copper last week during practice rounds at the Masters, he ultimately didn’t decide to use the club in competition.

It seems that will change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage, played at the short-and-tight Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head.

When asked on Wednesday following his morning Pro-Am if he’d be using the new, nostalgic BRNR Copper this week, McIlroy said, “I think so.”

“I like it,” McIlroy told GolfWRX.com on Tuesday regarding the BRNR. “This would be a good week for it.”
  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by GolfWRX (@golfwrx)

According to Adrian Rietveld, the Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, the BRNR Mini Driver can help McIlroy position himself properly off the tee at the tight layout.

tour burner iron lofts

Here’s what Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday:

“For someone like Rory, who’s that long at the top end of the bag, and then you put him on a course like Harbour Town, it’s tough off the tee. It’s tight into the greens, and you have to put yourself in position off the tee to have a shot into the green. It kind of reminds me of Valderrama in Spain, where you can be in the fairway and have no shot into the green.

“I’m caddying for Tommy [Fleetwood] this week, so I was walking the course last night and looking at a few things. There’s just such a small margin for error. You can be standing in the fairway at 300 yards and have a shot, but at 320 you don’t. So if you don’t hit a perfect shot, you could be stuck behind a tree. And then if you’re back at 280, it might be a really tough shot into the small greens.

“So for Rory [with the BRNR], it’s a nice course-specific golf club for him. He’s got both shots with it; he can move it right-to-left or left-to-right. And the main thing about this club has been the accuracy and the dispersion with it. I mean, it’s been amazing for Tommy.

“This was the first event Tommy used a BRNR last year, and I remember talking to him about it, and he said he couldn’t wait to play it at Augusta next year. And he just never took it out of the bag because he’s so comfortable with it, and hitting it off the deck.

“So you look at Rory, and you want to have the tools working to your advantage out here, and the driver could hand-cuff him a bit with all of the shots you’d have to manufacture.”

So, although McIlroy might not be making a permanent switch into the new TaylorMade BRNR Mini Driver Copper, he’s likely to switch into it this week.

His version is lofted at 13.5 degrees, and equipped with a Fujikura Ventus Black 7X shaft.

Spotted: TaylorMade P-UDI driving iron

tour burner iron lofts

It seems like the RBC Heritage is full of new gear to be spotted, and you can add TaylorMade’s P-UDI utility irons to that list.

We spotted a 17-degree P-UDI 2-iron in Nick Dunlap’s bag yesterday, and now have some photos of both the 3- and 4-irons. Nick has his P-UDI 2-iron setup with a Project X HZRDUS Black 4th Gen 105g TX shaft.

tour burner iron lofts

From what we can tell, this new P-UDI utility iron looks to have some of the usual TaylorMade technology as we can see the Speed Slot on the sole of the club for additional face flexibility. A toe screw is usually used to close off the hollow body design that will probably be filled with a version of TaylorMade’s Speed Foam that is present in the current iron lineup. This hollow body, foam-filled design should offer additional ball speed, soft feel, and sound, as well as an optimized CG for ball flight.

“Forged” is etched into the hosel, so we can assume that either the face, body, or both are forged for a soft and responsive feel. The club looks good from behind and at address, where we can see just a little offset and a topline that I would consider medium thickness. We don’t have the full details on what is under the hood or how many loft options will be available yet.

No weaknesses. All very good.

I just wanted to stop in and tell you guys about my Burner Tour iron experience. I have been an avid player for most of my adult life. I played another companies blades for many years including when I carried a 2.5 handicap. I played blades up until April 2011 when my game was put on hold. I was involved in a bad automobile accident and broke my humerus, the ball of my shoulder, and serious rotator damage. I wasn't able to play any golf until January 2012. Before the accident, I played about 4 times a week and didnt know what to expect after 3 surgeries and almost a year off. The first time out, I had my blades and had an outright miserable round with lots of pain. My swing coach and playing partner suggested a swap to cavity backs and possibly a couple of hybrids. I purchased a set of Burner Tour Irons, a 2 and 3 hybrid and my previous R9 driver. I immediately saw improvement but had to take time to adjust to the new irons since Im a full club longer throughout the bag. I played in my very first 36 hole stroke play tournament this past weekend. I am happy to say that I won handily by 8 shots and could have been better if my shoulder hadn't got a little sore on the back nine Sunday. I shot 67 Satirday and tied my best round ever. I shot an even par 71 Sunday for the win. I was afraid I would never play the game again. Playing this well so soon would have never been possible without these more forgiving and player friendly clubs and I'm looking forward to competitive golf again. I have never hit as many straight shots in a weekend tournament.

I played Mizuno blades for the last 6-7 years. I hurt my neck and had to take two years off....I picked up a used set or Tour Burners.... I took them to the range this past week. Remember this was the first swings in two years. All I can say is WOW.... Very nice clubs. They go very high with the "S" taylor shaft. I was able to work the ball both ways. I think these are a good fit for all levels.

The TM burner 1.0 was an ungrade from Adams A3OS. Mine are stiff steel shafts and are easy to hit, have good feel and forgiving and great on the distance ego. These clubs are best suited for 80-90+ handicap players and buyer beware if you are in the area of 5'-6" like me with a recommended fitting of -1/4" shafts these are too long and will dig. Probably not a suitable club for an upwright swing plane. Now that they have been properly fitted they don't dig as much and are realy consistent with distance. They will stay in my bag for a couple of years yet.

Didn't have to use.

Just won used TM Tour Burner Irons on eBay from 3Balls.com. Clubs arrived in excellent shape, just needed new grips. Installed Golf Pride Tour Wrap grips, and took them to the course to play them. Hit them on the range prior to the round, and loved them. Will bein my bag probably as long as my old Pinseekers. Like the look, feel, and distance is awesome!

TaylorMade RAC OS 2 Irons, Pinseeker TPW-III Irons

In Spring of 2011 I decided to modernize my bag. The Burner 2.0 was recommended to me because of the strong lofts, and distance was something I felt I could use. But I didn't do my homework before being fitted for these irons and later learned the standard swingweights are D3.5 (+/1 one SW). Though mine were ordered 1/4" short the SW's came in at D4-D5. TM's responses to my inquiries about the high swingweights were disappointing. I've tried to fight through my problems with these irons and now feel I've wasted my entire 2011 season. Not to mention the $700 I wasted.

Not very good. Emails didn't address my questions and when I finally spoke to a person he told me I shouldn't send the irons back because there probably wasn't anything they could do for me since the SW's were within tolerance.

Will this replace the R7 Tp's or :russian_roulette:

  • 1 month later...

I don't think this will replace R7 TP.

This iron has some offset and it is a lot easier to hit than TP.

The distance is great(strong loft) but feel is kind of muted.

I'm VERY interested in buying these bad boys..I play the Titleist 762's right now and have been for some time. Any more input?

Went to the local golf shop to look at the Taylormade R7 Irons. Sales person said they were being replaced by the tour burner irons, and he showed me a set he just got in.

I hit the 7 iron with the 105 steel stiff, in the golf simulator. 81 mph swing, I was hitting the 7i about 174 yds. Quite a difference from my Mizuno 67 7iron, which I hit about 160 yds.

What I was looking for in a new set was height. And I got plenty with the tour burner irons. Not sure if I want the added distance. I also noticed 80% of my shots were roughly 9 yds left of pin. I thought it was me until I went on Ebay, and a guy on there was selling his tour burner irons because most of his shots were going too far left.

I am relegated to playing maybe twice a month, so I was looking for a friendlier set of sticks than my Mizunos. I like the tour burner irons, they are solid at impact and feel effortless. Just not sure I can score well with the added distance. Would like to try them first on the golf course before making a purchase.

  • 3 weeks later...

Was fitted this afternoon after ditching work a few hours early -- :man_in_love: I've been meaning to get my fitting for a long time now and was excited to hear after paying the pro that what I suspected I was (+1 lenght, 1 degree up) I was. Grrrrr. But the good part about the fitting was I rocked through the following clubs ad nauseum because he was trying to make a sale. The net result was I could really do a solid compare.

6'4'' - strong

fast/medium fast swing (not measured)

18 handicap at the moment, going down...

Currently hitting:

Mizuno MX-23, MP-30 combo set (3-6 MXs: 7-P MPs)

Demo'd during fitting:

TP Tour Burner

Mizuno MX-19

Callaway FT (08' Fusion)

Cleveland CG Red

All in all, I knew I wanted a slightly offset - not heavily toe thick - cavity backed game improvement iron. As it stands, I made a tough choice a while back when buying my combo irons, and I just can't hit the 7-P MP-30s as well as I should. It's a sign when you hit the 5 iron better (and more confidently) than the 9 iron. I mentioned to the pro that I had hit and was interested in the Srixon i 506 (loved em) Macgregor MT Mid, Ping G10, Cleveland CG Red, and Mizuno MX-19. Turned out they didn't carry the Srixon or Macgregor, and they had some story as to why (they don't sell...not good in their opinion anyway...blah blah blah). So after breaking down my research against what they had to suggest I start doing swing comparisons, and MAN, I was very surprised at how well the new Burner irons worked for me. I was getting a solid combination of confidence, feel, distance, response, forgiveness, and consistency. Those were the factors I was looking for out of my next set. The launch angle and trajectory was not so high as the MX-19s or the Clevelands, which have a rather thicker toe and heel weighting and size. The Ping G10 was DEFINITELY trumped by the i10, which I had not really even been considering. Little did I realize that the back thickness of the i10 was actually medium whereas the G10 is thick and large. In other words, the G10 was more along the lines of hitting the CG or the MX-23, although just slightly different feel -- results were similar in ball flight and distance. After running through many cycles or the clubs I realized I was down to the i10 vs the Burners. I really feel like these clubs are VERY similar. In the end however I believe the Burner wins out at least for me because of the factors mentioned above -- confidence, feel, distance, response, forgiveness, and consistency. None of the other clubs gave me the best match of each of these across the board as well as the Burners. The i10 was close but not quite as consistent for me. And the feel of the TM casting was just a bit better to me than the Ping casting process....at least that's what I attributed the "feel" mostly to on perfect hits. All in all, I went in thinking I wanted to stick to a forged club or at least go Mizuno MX-19. In the end I really realized what a great club the Burner is. It's designed to replace the R7 (or so I was told) and that seems to make sense. I was told it will not directly replace per say the R7 TP model...they are slightly different enough to constitute a slightly different line.

Now for my disclaimer. If I had the money, I would probably get the new Callaway FT set. IMO, these are weight balance SO FRIGGIN MONEY for my swing that they are perfect. The ball just jumps off the club so well that its amazing. But it's a $1000 set and I'm looking to spend no more than $500, so there you go.

Anyone wanna buy a +1, 2 degree upright MX23/MP30 combo set? Still in great condition and hitting well for the right golfer! :rolleyes:

Got a good deal on Ebay for the Tour Burner Irons, 4-AW, 105 steel stiff. Hated to sell the Miz 67 irons, they are so pretty to look at. But, only playing two rounds a month, no time to practice, and tired of my 7 iron coming in low to the green like a hot three iron, I'm thinking my blade days are over.

I've only hit the burner irons indoors (see my other post above), but I really like the feel. Love the way they sit to the ball, doesn't scream max improvement club ,and its easy on the eyes without looking like a shovel. My swing felt effortless and smooth.

Hopefully, I will have them on the course by this weekend.

gib15

got mine about a two months ago. was fitted (3deg up and +1in, x-flex stock steel shaft). anyway, i have nothing but praise for these clubs. i have the (4-pw) and they are long and forgiving. i realize they are longer than standard and the lofts are stonger but man are they nice. i can work them reasonably well and they work on a variety of lies. the bottom line is how easy to me they are to hit. when i first got them i was hitting them toward the heel due to my new shaft length, no matter though as i was still hitting a sweet draw all over the flag, with little or no distance loss. they are certainly higher ball flighted than blades but they word well in the wind.

bottom line for me is: great clubs for this scratch golfer who does not practice much anymore. i have shot the same scores as always, in fact, a little lower lately now that i can really hit my long irons well again.

looks are fine for me, i can get used to anything when the ball is going where i want it.

hope this helps. TAYLOR MADE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

After playing with MP 14 and MP33 for long time I decided that it is time to try something more forgiving... and just got over 40yo....

I demoed, X20 Tour, MP57, R7TP, AP1 and 2, Cobra and Burner Tour...

Out of all those clubs X20 and Burner where easiest to hit and most forgiving of bunch.

I am happy that I bought set of Burner® because they are soooo easy to hit and very forgiving.

Feel is very very good considering it is CB and cast club. At address they look much better then x20 tour, not that big at all.

Just yesterday on the last hole, par 3 155 to flag I hit 8i and immediately I thought "oh #hit" mishit, only to see ball sailing pin high 6 meters right.

The only thing, I hit them same distance as my MP33 (TT S300) ??????

Highly recommended if you don't have enough time to practice anymore...

Mr.I302

These clubs are the REAL DEAL.......they are long( I have regained the 1 club distance that I had lost to my playing partners). They are forgiving (more so than my previous I 701/506 combo set). They have great feel for a cast club....the thin face technology works.

The stock stiff seel shaft works great for me and I have never hit such high,long shots that just drop and stop.

lookin to get new irons this christmas. i dont know my handiecap never figured it out but i shoot round the low 90's. i have whole set of golden bears that came in a package driver putter bag and all. ive already replaced the driver with a TM burner and a 3 wood with a callaway X now i am lookin to replace my irons and considering thies the callaway x-20 or 22 mabey :) or the TM r7's. is there a spec that measures the size of the club face, that i can look for? my golden bear club face is bout the right size and mabey could be smaller. but when i look at me dads iron club head its huge.

---I had post above before-----   After 6 weeks with these clubs I still can't find extra distance over my old MP33 with S300... WHY...   I bought TM Burner Irons with R105....   Regards Peter

In Golf Digest it says that for a lower handicapper or better player, a stiffer shaft will yield longer distances than a less stiff shaft. It may explain your lack of distance gain with the Burner R105s.

  • 4 weeks later...

I am a 9 handicap and was playing with an X-16 till last month when I upgraded my set to the TM Tour burner irons with the TM 2009 Burner metals.

Like many golfers in my handicap range, I was facing the dilemma of choosing between tour-prefered type irons that looked and felt great at address, but lacked the forgiveness of the larger game improvement clubs, and the likes of burner plus whose thick sole, topline and big offset put me off.

I came upon the TM tour burners and had a few swings with the 7 iron. Man was I impressed!! It was a perfect compromise between feel and forgiveness. I play in India at a tough 7100 yd Par-72 links-style course and have been consistently shooting in the late 70's and early 80's with this set. More than the improvemet in the distance, it is the feel-good-factor at address that just fills you up with positive thoughts, and THAT in my humble opinion does 80 % of the work in hitting that great shot.

There is something magical about these irons, it's not just one thing but the whole package. I purchased a 4-AW set with Project X 5.5 and have been extremely happy every since. The height is very consistent from club to club, I've never hit a 4 iron so high. With that in mind they also will deliver a wind piercing low knock down on command.

The muted feel others are talking about is a shock dampening characteristic purposely built into the club heads, kind of like TT SensiCore shaft insert. Muted yes, but I know where it hit on the face just from the feel. Has an unforgettable feel and wind cheating piercing flight.

These clubs replaced a set of Tommy Armour 845s Silver Scots I've had in my bag for years. The TM Tour Burners are better in every way and that says a lot. A nice compromise between game improvement irons and blades. Extremely easy to like. Do yourself a favor find a TM demo booth and try them out.

I have had mine for less than a month..I Eagled the first hole today on my way to a 69 have not shot that low in a few years. That was my second eagle on a par four since I swithed.I had played miura cavityback irons before.These are eaiser to hit and much more forgiving.The only change was I reshafted with KB tours.

i started playing golf about two years ago... beginning of last year i was an 18 handicap using nike slingshot irons that i got at a garage sale... about three weeks into last season i bought the tm tour burner irons on ebay and my current index is 7.6.. i love these irons that bring confidence at adress and added 10 to 15 yards more on each iron then i had previously with the nike slingshots... their great.

These irons are ridiculously long. I demoed a set at my range and off mats I was carrying the six iron 200 yards. I know its the jacked up lofts so perhaps thats not such a good thing as you approach the short irons.

Center strikes felt amazing and off center not so much but no real sting.

Set up looks great (minus the cavities) - not to much offset and a top line that I dont find visually offensive.

Discontinued so they currently sell for 500.00 - might have to buy a set.

I see that the stronger lofts are about 1/2 club stronger, but the additional length that most people are experiencing is much more than a 1/2 club. Also, loft changes at impact depending on a person's individual swing characteristics too. And, with everyone just loving to carry a bunch of wedges and approach wedges, the short shots are dealt with too.

If the TM Tour Burner irons are now being phased out, what has replaced them? Has the replacement not been released to the public yet? (Burner B irons?)

I absolutely love my old TM forged irons but I must say this Tour Burner iron has been the only iron in the past 8 years that has me thinking that this is something truly different and not just another reincarnated stamped piece of steel.

I really enjoyed the feel at impact and it's as if the ball just stuck to the clubface for a few seconds.

i love these, they are in between the burner irons and the tour preffered. I am about a 7 handicap. I have only been playing for a couple years so my ball contact is not perfect. These are great, I got them new from TM with the project x 5.5s. I will be using these for another year or so or until I can play blades. Which might be a long time. haha. I definately recommend them, dont buy the wedges, i dont even use their PW. Long irons are great, i use my 3 off the tee the majority of the time. The short irons spin very well, I can get them to check up easily. The distance between them is pretty good also.

I was looking for a more forgiving iron although the RAC LTs I had which were great irons. The Tour Burners are the easiest irons I have hit and probably the best irons I have had. I have gained distance and am much more consistent with these irons.

As with the last set of TM irons off the rack the swing weights were dead on, very impressive.

I avoided the 2009s because I did not want extra long irons and am glad I got these instead. =) Maverick

Bettinardi BB8 Reserve 300 pcs. 33"

Byron Morgan 615 33"

I have been playing Tommy Armour Evo V-31 R.O. cast blade irons for the last four years and switched to the tour burners ~6 rounds ago. These irons have helped me shave a solid 5 strokes off my game. I was a little worried about the mild offset, but so far I have not had too much issue with unwanted draws, but I do find I am hitting them more in the middle of my stance compare to my old irons. The biggest change has been in the long iron forgiveness, long iron distance and short iron spin. My distances break down as follows (old clubs in brackets):

AW - 140 (same)

PW - 150 (same)

9 - 160 (same)

8 - 175 (+5)

7 - 185 (+5)

6 - 200 (+10)

5 - 215 (+15)

4 - 230 (+20)

My only complaint is that I did not get the 3-PW set. I am playing at a 11 - 14 hcp this year and and loving these irons. If I can get my putting under control (35 per game so far) I should be dropping to single digits by the end of the year.

I found out that TM isn't shipping 2008 Tour Burner irons any longer. Therefore, obtaining them with Nippon or some other shaft is not an option any longer.

Have any of you switched out the shafts on your new TB irons? If so, did you find that the weight of the club heads pose any problems with using lighter shafts (100 gm) For example, the heads were too light and thus a club maker had to pour in a ton of weight into the hossel, etc.

I figure if I bought these irons from TM with the 85 ReAx Steel Shaft, they would try to use the proper weighted head that would work with the lighter shafts that were ordered.... yeah, yeah, I know..... wishful thinking.

In any event, I'm tinkerign with using either the #3 or #4 Tour Burner iron to replace my forged CB #3 iron. I'm fond of my current #4 iron, it's just the #3 that believe I can improve with today's design features.

Great irons those 2008 Tour Burners!

Anyone else feel that taylormade is trying to pull off some devious marketing campaign on golfers that won’t know better by having clubs that are extremely stronger lofted. I hate how Taylormade markets these irons as the longest of all irons. This is because the specs of a 6 iron are the exact same length and loft of all other brands 5 iron. This is how the whole set works.

TM 4i is competions 3i, etc. This is why when I went to the store and wanted to compare three different sets, they gave each sets 6 iron. I was hitting 6 iron longer. I should have used the TM 7i to accurately compare. This is fine to those that know it, just don’t understand why this is done.

Can someone explain the actual benefits to the golfer. I can see the marketing side behind this for the company, but why would the golf want stronger lofts, any benefits. Just feel if I am used to hitting 8 iron 155 I’ll now switch to 9 iron. I was actually planning to get this set but after realizing this it has somewhat turned me off on the TM irons. I’d much rather them sell the 3i-PW with same lofts instead of the 4i-AW which is basically the same thing.

Also, on a side note, anyone have any other opinions on this club.

I am getting these to replace my x20 tours with Project x flighted 5.5. I didnt like the feel of the Cally's or the very low trajectory in 7-pw. May be my swing but oh well. Do these set up like the callys at adress or more like a player look I hope? I am receiving mine Monday with the standard Rifle 5.5.

yahtzee

What is the major difference between these and the 2007 TM R7's?

The Tour Burner has the same lofts and lengths as Mizuno mx300. Why would the TM Tour Burners be considered "jacked up"? I know the new 09 Burner irons have enhanced lofts. Just a little confused because I am thinking of buying the 08 Tour Burner irons. Thanks.

TaylorMade Tour Burner Driver Review: Specs, Pros and Cons

TaylorMade Tour Burner driver club

Released in 2008, TaylorMade’s Tour Burner Driver was for the players who loved to bomb it on the golf course. The club led an era of improved club technology from TaylorMade. At the time pro golfers like Sergio Garcia, Charles Howell III and Justin Rose put the Burner in play.

Tour Burner Driver Specs

Made for advanced players, the TaylorMade's new Tour Burner driver features a 450cc titanium head. It is streamlined with a steel dual crown and unique perimeter weighting.

TaylorMade equipped the Tour Burner with a TaylorMade RE-AX, 60g graphite shaft available in regular, stiff and extra stiff flex. Custom shafts by Aldila, Fujikara, Mitsubishi and Matrix HD are also available.

TaylorMade Tour Burner Driver Review

With the stock RE-AX a slightly tip-stiff shaft, the Tour Burner's aerodynamic head rips through the ball with ease. It's low- to mid-kick point characteristics and slight draw-bias make it fun to really let go off the tee. It's a comfortable player's club with a significant amount of game-improvement tendencies.

The driver's Dual Crown features a small thin top with a large weighted power-base. TaylorMade incorporated its Inverted Cone Technology which helps players produce faster swing speeds and ball speeds.

TaylorMade made sure this driver had ample forgiveness across the face and engineered it to produce a lower trajectory. The club is designed to provide more consistency than the Burner driver before it.

Who Should Play the Tour Burner Driver?

The Tour Burner is a bit draw-biased, which means a shot-shaping player could get into trouble on fast, steep swings. The club performs best with controlled and powerful tendencies. With a D5 swing weight, the Tour Burner may check in slightly lighter than some big hitters prefer. If you’re a player who knows how to control the club face, the Tour Burner could help you find the added consistency every golfer pursues.

Tour Burner Driver Value

According to the PGA Value Guide, TaylorMade’s Tour Burner Driver, resale value isn’t very high, ranging between $40 and $53. Brand new the driver listed at $699.

Where to Buy Tour Burner Driver

Players who want to try out the Tour Burner drivers can find them on sites like eBay and 2ndswing.com where they can buy them for around 100 bucks. On eBay , they range from $40, $50, and for the most part are under $100.

Bottom Line

The TaylorMade Tour Burner is a true premium driver meant for shot-shapers and low handicappers. It is also a solid club off the rack for novice golfers looking to grow into a tool with pro-level characteristics.

TaylorMade Burner Plus Game Improvement Irons Review

What we say...

These TaylorMade Burner Plus golf irons , like most other game improvement sets, are not the prettiest to look down on as they feature a chunky top line and big face but where they may lack in the aesthetics department they more than make up for it in performance.

The SuperFast technology, light and long shafts and light grips promote faster swing speed for increased distance, while a large clubface with Inverted Cone technology means that even if you hit it out the toe you’ll get away with it!

4 out of 5 Thanks TaylorMade a perfectly forgiving set of irons 03 May 2013

By Anonymous

 I have been playing with Cobra irons for a number of years now and decided to upgrade. To be honest I never really got on great with the clubs, they were way too inconsistent for me so i decided to try out the Burner Plus irons based on this review I read at this site called Golf ISC.  The review made them sound like they were suitable for a mid handicap golfer and they certainly seemed to be well received. I must say that I was really impressed when I gave them a try down at the range they really did help improve my consistency and reduced the amount of times i was hooking the ball.  I decided to take the plunge and never looked back, these are a great set of irons and I would thoroughly recommend giving them a try. Thanks TaylorMade you have helped me shave a few extra shots off my card.
