Taylormade Burner Iron Review
Overview/Technology-
The 2009' Taylormade Burner irons come with a very progressive design. Some of the extraordinary features of the Taylormade Burner Irons include sweet spot enhancing inverted cone face coupled with considerably reduced club weight makes this a very intuitive iron. But Taylormade doesn't stop there. Longer and lighter shafts reduces overall weight thereby increasing ball speed, making the Burner iron a monster in the yardage gain gain department. There are some definite advancement characteristics of the new Burner iron.

Actual Player Feedback-
"The Burner irons, or at least hit them on the range/launch.... I am still in awe"
"My burners are forgiving with great distance"
"I am amazed by the continuous quality that I see throughout their product line. The Burners are no exception"
Pros/Positives-
Great engineering behind this one! Tests show the 4-iron is 15 yards longer than the competition. Long, light shafts and a super thin clubface for high COR is an absolute gem. The undercut cavity along with a sole designed for shot-making, makes the Burner a great advancement for Taylormade.
Cons/Negatives-
By the same token, the longer shafts may take a while to get used to and some may even struggle.
Overall Rating-
The Taylormade Burner Irons will be a big seller and provide many positives for the average golfer. We expect this iron to overtake any Taylormade iron predecessor.

This set of irons are amazing. I can not get over the playability and the increased distance that these irons provide. GREAT CLUBS!!!! Taylor Made has a winner on their hands.
I cant i find more reviews on taylormade 2009 burner irons. what do pro golfer think about this club.
Nine Individual Irons. Each With Its Own Mission.
High COR, high MOI and progressive offset for longer, straighter shots
Exceptionally easy to launch, especially the long-irons
Advanced Multi-Functional sole design, progressively thicker toplines
Sophisticated cavity-badge delivers super-soft feel and sound
Dramatically improved SuperFast Technology promotes consistent distance in every iron; more distinct distance-gaps between long- and middle-irons. Each of the irons were separately designed & engineered to help increase distance, control & accuracy:
3-4 irons – long and forgiving
5-7 irons – accurate & consistant trajectory
8-LW – responsive, easy to control

I have always build my own clubs.This spring I let myself surcomb to all the hype and purchased burner irons.I could build two sets of clubs for cost of burners. I have work hard with these clubs. I believe money would be better spent building your own or going to a club fitter.
I tried the Burner 09s with TM REAX steel regular flex. They are on the way back to TGW on their 30 trial plan, and I will get another set, with custom shafts – PX Flighted 5.0. Meanwhile, here are my thoughts after 6 rounds:
Likes
* Appearance – subtle, disguised GI features, no iron number on face
* Offset – minimum on 7-AW
* Face – seemed pretty hot to me
* Sole – no problems from a variety of lies
Dislikes
* Shaft – too light and flimsy. Affected my tempo.
* Grip – seemed cheap to me
* Offset on 4-6 irons took getting used to
The other, underlying, dislike is that I have grown wary of TaylorMade marketing, with their constant model changes, performance hypes, and “badges.” Nonetheless I was pleasantly surprised with the relatively low key look of these irons. They are going to be my “forgiveness” clubs – for a while at least…
I really like these irons from Taylor Made because they are quite forgiving. They have a very high MOI rating and the club face is less likely to twist when a ball is not hit in the direct center of the club. This helps to eliminate sliced shots and to avoid hazards.
Just recently purchased a set, haven’t had a chance to really use them with it being Nov.
I was testing 5 different sets of irons and basically just using the 8 iron to see how they felt etc as it’s my most consistant club, the other 4 sets….Hogan,Calloway,Wilson and Cleveland were all consistant felt good not great, got about 150 on the sim which is on par with my normal 8 iron. I hit the burner last and was consistantly getting 175-185 yards and the ball literally felt like it was exploding off the face. The guy at golftown couldn’t believe the difference in how I was hitting them and he could see the ball “jump” off the face compared to the other clubs.
Going along with my Burner Driver I feel ready to kick the crap out of my buddies games next spring!!
I tryed these a while ago and they were ok to hit, but I couldn’t get used to the longer shafts.
If I’m going to hit a 3 iron I like to know I’m hitting a 3 iron rather
than a 3 iron with a 4 on it. They were ok but I went with mizuno
mx950’s, much better clubs and they really helped my handicap go down!
And more of my money is going on r&d rather than marketing.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good way to get the number of irons in your bag down.
TM have taken an iron out and spread the lenght/loft out to cover it, so the 7 iron is
really a 7.5 iron. Which is good for your ego or if you want an extra hybrid in your bag.
But I’m not keen on gimics, so didn’t like them. But if you can get passed that, they do leave a
warm feeling inside when ‘club’ for club your out hitting your old set! That confidence could help
you build on your game.
Took awhile to adjust to the burner irons, took them out of the plastic the first day on the course and caused an increase of 10 strokes due to the 4 and 5 iron being so long in length.
took them out to the driving range the next day and hit the irons in progression. After hitting the irons at the range the comments above become more and more true. The irons hit much longer than previous irons. Decreasing the power allowed for more consistent shots while keeping distance.
Overall the irons are great but distance control will be the major focus for people with these irons. For me, even though i can smoke the ball with my irons, the added distance gives me the confidence to lower swing speed and focus on location and backspin.
again, these clubs are great
