hey guys,

has anyone had any experiences with burner 2.0 or mp h-4s irons?

although my handicap is high, im not such a bad iron hitter. im pretty accurate and getting the ball high and far isn't too much of a problem (of course with game improvement irons)

i'm having difficulties choosing between mizuno h4s or jpx 825 pros, which i can get for very cheap from a friend (half the orig. price), or buying burner 2.0s which I've tested briefly and liked.

its either cheaper slightly used mizunos which aren't totally for my level but i intend to reach over this summer OR burner 2.0s that are at my level for about the same price.

pls help me choose :)

I'm currently playing TM Burner 2.0 irons (4-AW) and I honestly feel that the irons are the most diverse irons i have ever hit.

In the past I played Titleist 755 forged irons, which i liked very much but I wanted to upgrade. After testing about 10 different sets I couldn't find an iron that gave me more distance, consistency, and feel (all 3 at the same).

After some time on the range I've been able to work the ball pretty consistently and control my trajectory.

I truly believe these irons will make any mid to high hanicapper better. As you get better, the irons will still help in many ways. I don't feel a golfer will ever get to a point where these irons inhibit their game.

The only way I will switch to a different set is when i can make perfect contact on 99.9% of my swings... Or when the irons are about five years old and I want to upgrade to the next thing like these (more likely to happen).

If you do purchase the TMs I hope you enjoy them as much as i do.. Which i'm sure you will!

I'm not disregarding what the previous poster said, but personally I would highly recommend getting irons that are below your "handicap level" if you will. This is ONLY if you intend to seriously improve though. If you just want enjoyment out of the game playing only every so often, get the Burners. They're great irons, don't get me wrong. I used to have a set. But I give a lot of credit to my current set of irons (mixed blade set) to dramatically improving my game. I had to put in a lot of work, but it was all worth it. Bottom line is if you are serious about getting better and will put in the work, go for the Mizunos. And I buy all my clubs used FWIW.

If you're getting the Mizunos used from a friend, see if you can take them out for a couple of rounds before you commit to buying them. You'll pretty quickly find out how you get along with them.

I can't speak for the MP-H4 irons but, I do  have a set of TaylorMade 4-AW Burner 2.0. I consider them to be game improvement irons for mid-handicappers (20+) like myself.  They are relatively easy to hit and are very predictable with respect to distance and control. Since I don't have the ability to actively "work" my shots, they will probably serve my needs for the foreseeable future. For my skill level, the Burner 2.0's are the right clubs for me.

    • I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.
    • Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV. 
    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
