\"TaylorMadeIf you’re the kind of golfer who tends to hit the ball all over the face and would still like to hit a club less than everyone else in your group, then this review may interest you.<\/p>\n

TaylorMade may just be the hottest brand in golf. Over the past few years, a ton of r7 drivers (followed by r7 fairway woods and, to a lesser extent, r7 irons) have found their ways into a host of pro bags, and subsequently into the bags of amateurs of all abilities with varying results. The new kid in the TaylorMade family is the Burner line. Released (or re-released) only a year ago, the Burner driver and fairway woods have been played on the Tour by players like Kenny Perry, Sergio Garcia, and Sean O’Hair, and has been well received by the masses, as well. Where the r7 line is most associated with movable weights, the Burner line hangs its hat on hot clubfaces and technology that increases clubhead speed. Now, the Burner line has brought that same technology to the irons arena.
\n
\nTaylorMade has packed a lot of that technology into the Burner XD irons. The company calls the Burner XD “The Only Iron with Burner Speed, Burner Power, and Burner Distance.” What’s not to like about speed, power, and distance?<\/p>\n

When it comes to irons, distance can<\/em> be over-rated. Sure it’s fun to hit a green on a 155-yard par 3, turn to your golfing buddies, and announce “pitching wedge.” But distance is only useful if it’s repeatable (and in the right direction). That’s the challenge that any iron design faces… at least usually.<\/p>\n

The reincarnated Burner line is about distance first and foremost, and the Burner XDs are the first irons in the line. Naturally, I’m thinking they are designed to hit the ball far. Let’s see if I’m right.<\/p>\n

Design and Technology<\/strong>
\n“Super” is a description that is near and dear to the Burner marketing folks. The Burner XD irons feature “Supersized” clubheads and “SuperFast Technology.” The first helps make them forgiving and the second is all about distance.<\/p>\n

\"Burner<\/p>\n

The XD clubheads are built on a 17-4 stainless steel frame, but have a thin titanium face (read “high CoR”), intended to promote ball speed and thus add distance. Titanium also happens to be lighter than steel, and some of the weight saved by using titanium has been redistributed low and deep in the clubhead to help launch the ball higher. I say some, because these clubs play to a D0 swingweight even with their lightweight shafts (compare to the D2 swingweight featured in the Cleveland CG Reds). In reality, few people would notice the difference between those two swing weights. And for most people, the lightweight of the clubs would, indeed, increase swing speed.<\/p>\n

TaylorMade’s Inverted Cone Technology, borrowed from their extremely successful line of woods, is in plain view on the backside of the clubface. ICT is intended to expand the sweetspot and (big surprise!) deliver high ball speed.<\/p>\n

TaylorMade’s SuperFast Technology extends to the shafts. Our demo featured the 90 gram RE*AX SuperFast Steel 90. It’s a stepped shaft, with the steps occurring more densely nearer the clubhead and then with increasing distance between them toward the grip end. The last step comes two or three below the grip. The steps appear to grow shallower as they get closer to the grip, though this could be an optical illusion. By comparison, the steps on the Dynamic Gold S300 begin roughly a half inch farther from the clubhead and occur at regular spacing and depth nearly all the way to the grip. These steps theoretically should result in a mid to high kickpoint on the shaft which could result in a teeny bit more clubhead speed.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The Burner XD irons fall right between the r7 Draw and the r7 CGB Max irons at the high-forgiveness end of the TaylorMade line.<\/p>\n

The 17-4 stainless steel clubhead and titanium clubface are joined using a method called “lip encasement,” a process that mechanically unites the two dissimilar materials.<\/p>\n

Esthetics<\/strong>
\nIn a day and age when many manufacturers tend to give their irons (and their game improvement irons especially) the full floozie treatment, the Burner XD sports an almost restrained look.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong, a traditionalist is going to find these a bit gauche<\/em>. There’s a Burner XD badge just above the sole on the back of the clubface, TaylorMade’s “Sound Managing Cavity Badge” fills the cavity back, and the Inverted Cone Technology is framed in red in the middle of the cavity. But it could be much worse. Even with the 3-iron, you do not see any of these markings at address. The only thing you might notice is the “Ti” stamp on the upper toe of the clubface, there to reassure you that the face is made of titanium.<\/p>\n

\"Titanium<\/p>\n

One negative about that titanium face, it won’t stay pristine looking for long. Hit a bucket of range balls at a sandy range, and you’ll have lots of dark looking scuffs and scratches on the clubface (hopefully, mostly in the middle). Stainless steel faces will also scratch and ding over time, of course, but on titanium the marks are darker and much more noticeable. The set we demoed quickly marked up with normal use.<\/p>\n

Like the r7 CGB Max, these irons are big. They aren’t just oversized. They are Supersized. They feature a thick topline like almost all game-improvement irons, as well as a large offset. The soles are advertised as medium width, but they appear fairly wide to me. Still, though I prefer a thinner topline, less offset and a smaller club overall, I quickly adjusted to the look of the Burner XDs (with the exceptions of the three- and four-iron).<\/p>\n

\"Thick<\/p>\n

The longest Burner XDs just have so much offset that I couldn’t get used to the. At address, the three-iron looks a little like a stylized “S” at the end of the shaft. That’s too much for my taste, but a proven design for those looking for a little more help from the club.<\/p>\n

Performance<\/strong>
\nHere’s the thing… I did not love these clubs. None of my friends loved these clubs. Everyone felt they were “OK.” That said, these irons do exactly what they are designed to do. If distance is job one for TaylorMade Burners, these clubs get it done. How they get it done, as we’ll see, is debatable.<\/p>\n

Suffice it to say, I was consistently hitting these irons what I’d call “summer distance,” though almost all of my rounds with these were in cooler temperatures. I felt pretty safe playing these to go five to 10 yards farther than a good shot with my irons.<\/p>\n

\"Burner<\/p>\n

As I mentioned earlier, I never got comfortable with the look of the long irons, but I also couldn’t get them up in the air very well. I’ve always been a low ball hitter, but I found these long irons to be harder to hit than I would have expected from a game improvement long iron. I hit bullet after bullet that flew dead at the target, but just didn’t get up in the air enough. When I hit the Burner three-iron side by side with a Cleveland TA5 and a Mizuno MP-60, each of those clubs launched the ball higher and had more carry distance for me. Part of it might have been the somewhat unusual shaft in these, but more likely it was the fact that the Burner three-iron is actually more of a two-iron, the four a three, and so on.<\/p>\n

Indeed, one of the ways that TaylorMade has ensured that these clubs are long is by strengthening the lofts. In fact, the Burner XDs are among the strongest lofted irons out there. The three-iron is 19°, compared with the typical 21°. And this is on top of the already stronger typical lofts of modern clubs. Compared to a 1970s three-iron<\/a>, the Burner XD three-iron is in effect a one-iron.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, that means when you tell your buddies that you hit a pitching wedge into that par three from 155, you actually hit a nine-iron (of course, that’s still not too shabby).<\/p>\n

But distance is never the end of the story in golf. TaylorMade also claims that the Burner XD irons provide “Maximum Forgiveness.” You’d think that would put these irons as far out on the forgiveness scale as possible, but in TaylorMade’s world, the “Extreme Forgiveness” of the r7 CGB Max is more forgiving than the XDs’ Maximum Forgiveness.<\/p>\n

Still, as it turns out, Maximum Forgiveness is pretty darn forgiving (I wonder if you even know you hit a ball with an Extreme Forgiveness club). You can hit, or mishit, the XDs pretty much all over the clubface and still get decent results in distance (and acceptably close in line). That’s a very good thing for higher handicappers who struggle to consistently hit the middle of the clubface. In my last round with these clubs, on a 195 yard par 3, I hit a five-iron well out toward the toe and still hit the green (granted, I had a 50-foot putt that I three-jacked, but the XDs did their job). Don’t get me wrong, these clubs are not magic. I still hit plenty of bad shots with them (like a sliced four-iron that ended up in a pond when I tried to fade a ball into the wind). Magic, no; forgiving, yes.<\/p>\n

\"Burner<\/p>\n

The drawback to forgiveness is that it makes it difficult to tell where on the clubface you’re making contact and it makes it difficult to work the ball. Anything around the center of the clubface gives what I can only describe as an “OK” feeling. It’s nothing like the buttery feeling of a good forged iron. It’s just not all that solid, but it’s also not as hollow feeling as some clubs in the game-improvement category. Impact is definietly muted with the Burner XDs, but you can still usually tell where the ball met the clubface.<\/p>\n

While it is possible to work the ball with these clubs, that’s not really what they want to do. For the most part, if the clubface is square at impact, the ball is going to go somewhere very close to straight. If you like to work the ball, you’ll want to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Specifications<\/strong>
\nThe Burner XD Irons are available in 3 through 9, pitching wedge, attack wedge, sand wedge and lob wedge. Also available for lefties (except for the lob wedge). You may just need all four wedges (and maybe another) in the bag when your nine-iron has 39 degrees of loft.<\/p>\n

You can purchase various set configurations (5-PW, AW, SW; 3-PW; etc.) for the base set price of $899 in steel or $1099 in graphite.<\/p>\n

The Burner XD irons are available with the 65 gram RE*AX Superfast 65, or the 90 gram RE*AX Superfast Steel 90.<\/p>\n
Overall<\/strong>
\nAfter several rounds and a session at the range, I believe these clubs are an appropriate choice for golfers who simply want to enjoy the game and don’t want to put in too much practice time. Simply stated, the Burner XD irons provide decent results and exceptional distance with reasonable swings.<\/p>\n
The Burner XDs are aimed at mid to high handicappers with swing speeds ranging from 70-105 mph. At $900-$1100 a set, they run into competition with their own siblings, with the r7 CGB MAX irons priced just above them and the r7 irons just below them. Those who really want forgiveness, might want to go for the CGB MAX, while those looking for something more toward the player end of the spectrum, might want to go or the r7 irons. It’s really just a question of how much you want to spend. TaylorMade fans have plenty of options.<\/p>\n
The Burner emphasis on distance will probably play well with a certain segment of the golfing public, but others will find the delofting of the irons to be counterproductive to their games. Most golfers choosing to play these clubs would be best served by skipping the three-iron and starting the set with the four- or five-iron, which have the same lofts as most three- and four-irons. As it is, the Burner XDs are probably would work best for someone with a swing speed of 70-90, so the SuperFast technology could help the increase that speed.<\/p>\n
All in all, the Burner XDs do what they are supposed to do. They launch the ball on a mid to high trajectory, and they are pretty long as irons go. But really the best thing about the Burner irons is that you can make less than stellar contact all day long, and it won’t hurt you too badly. If these had a more solid feel to them, they’d probably sell a ton of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
