The reason i bought the burner plus iron set was i used to have the callaway x-18 iron set in graphite shafts. I really coudnt get the workability i was looking for, but i also wanted alot of distance. I tried out various clubs, but the burner plus irons really stood out. I gained almost 10 yards more with the burner plus irons than the x-18s. I chose the superfast 85gr. steel shafts for increased playability. Now i am able to hit draws and fades much easier with these clubs in comparison to my old set. The only disadvantage i have with these clubs is at address, the club felt much different than my old set so it took a little while to get used to. However, once i got used to them, I was striking the ball much better and my scores began to get better. P.S(Try the burner plus irons as well as the burner irons).Read full review
I use to play with TaylorMade Burner irons. I then had 2 disks in my neck and 3 in my back replaced due to a snow skiing accident. My Dr. nor I thought I'd ever swing a club again - so I sold them. I began playing again in the spring (playing out of anothers bag) and decided to purchase a set of clubs that would be very forgiving and inexpensive. I hit the clubs today for the 1st time, and I was completely amazed. Out of 2 lrg buckets of balls (100ct/ea), I slightly faded only 16 of them. These irons are extremely straight... straighter than anything I've ever hit (playing over 30yrs). They're also very easy to draw should the shot call for it. When they arrived I thought I'd probably replace the shafts with "rifle shafts," but it's simply not necessary. I like trading nickels for dollars... and that's just what I did when I purchased these irons.Read full review
Set out on journey to become a consistent par golfer. Starting out bought the cheapest sets of clubs and played them much like the local billiards pool table (and yes by the way that did mean it was unlevel and had worn side-rail bumpers) and living with the way they would react to temperature, weather, different golf balls and oh-yeah my many occasional (im)perfect swings! Starting out @ age 25 was probably an average 104 rounder with an occasional showing in the high 80's, but have gradually lowered the score to be consistently under bogey golf - now the card is filled with strings of successive pars and the occasional birdie. But the quest needed to step to the next level as 21 years have been added to the original body that still expects the ball to travel as far, but doesn't have the same swing as before. I had always said that when I was at a comfortable point and felt that this was 'as good as it gets' for a reward I would purchase a 'good' set of clubs. After getting a hole-in one last year I considered myself at that point. I had always kept my eyes on what the other guys were clubbing with in anticipation of when I would finally make my choice. No doubt technology of cavity backs and shafts brought the lower scores to my game and after visiting local golf stores and pro-shops set my sights on the burner plus irons: -with my finger tip pressure lessening the grips seem to weld to my palms and make up for it, -the rounded pattern of the sole allowed an effortless swing to take the ball high and straight. -the stiff shaft resonated with precise feedback So far two trips to the course (no golf range try-out) has yielded moderate success (88&84)as I adjust to the new clubs (+1/2"longer). With a straighter spine angle and softer swing the ball is travelling with a lot less effort. The positive feel and instant feedback on each swing is providing a confidence building partnership that I know will culminate in taking the right shot and getting the right outcome and eventually get me to a round(s) of par golf. The quest continues with TaylorMade!Read full review
The TaylorMade Burner Plus Irons were a new purchase for this golf season and they have already cut a few strokes off of my game. It takes some time to get used to the higher launch of these clubs, but once you do you can really let it rip. They seem to be very forgiving on off-center hits, which for me happens a few times per round. I used to be a bogey/double bogey golfer with my old set, but it seems I can be a par/bogey golfer with these new clubs. I also purchased a TaylorMade Raylor rescue hybrid and it's honestly the best club in my bag. It consistently hits it straight and over 200 yards. The best part about it is that it's great out of the rough, and I can still use it off the tee and in the fairway. TaylorMade has some great products out there to lower my scores and I'm now a believer. I'll be updating the rest of my clubs soon.Read full review
I purchased the TaylorMade Burner Plus 4-pw with steel shafts around 3 weeks ago. I was hesistant at first being that I have been using graphite shafts over the last year. I have played 4 rounds with them and have hit around 1000 balls on the range. The clubs have great balance and have some workability which is a great benefit without overdoing it. I have been more accurate especially with 8-pw. I am still adjusting to the 4 and 5 irons, being that I have been using hibrids. Overall clubs are exactly what I expected from Taylormade, great quality and performance. They complete my bag along with a TM Driver, 3wood and rescue.
