I went through a lot of research, trial and error in buying my new irons. Very happy with them and wrote up my experience in my blog below.

If anyone's looking for a new set of irons I hope it can be of some help.

I had several sets of the tour burner irons like Ernie used to use and love them. I would switch between them and a set of firesole tour irons.

I believe the OP was referring to the 2008 Taylormade Tour Burner irons, not the old Burner irons.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

thanks. i am really considering these irons! its between these and the ping i10 for the most part.

I cannot help on the TaylorMades, but right now I game the i10's and boy are they VERY solid sticks. But you may want to wait, as the new S57's come out in September.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

Glad it was of some help.

I really liked the Pings too but wanted to shift brands after my old set of Pings. What I would check is if you can get the Project X shafts in the Pings. To be honest, the shafts I got in the Burners are about 60% of the reason I like them so much. I got the unflighted version of shafts, which has got a lot to do with the workability of the clubs in the wind.

Thanks for that review! I'm seriously looking at switching to these irons, your blog entry was a big help.

No problem at all.

Almost a year since I got them now and still very, very happy. I've had a number of good sets of irons over the years, Ping (i3+), Titleist (962, DCI) and Callaway (X-16), as well as trying a number of different clubs before buying (I used to work in a shop). But I can honestly say these are the best irons I've played. It's all personal of course, but that's my preference.

3 Wood -> Ping G10, ProLaunch Red S
Hybrid -> Ping G10, ProLaunch Red S

Irons -> Taylor Made Tour Burner, Project X 6.0 + 1/2"54 -> Callaway Rusty60 -> Taylor Made RACPutter -> Odyssey Tour #

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
