Did Taylor Made make a driving iron (1-iron) that had a flame/fireball on the sole instead of a number to identify the club?

I've looked through TMs Vintage club listings. The problem is that they don't have pictures of the 1-irons for most of the sets, just a general picture to give you an idea of the overall look. Like I said, the only thing I remember being unique about this club is the flame/fireball in place of the identifying number. Without having a 1-iron picture from all of the sets, I've not been able to figure out whether this club existed or not.

According to TM's website, the only sets it could be from are 01 Forged 300, 95-98 Burner Tour, 91-94 ICW 11 or 5, 91-94 Burner Midsize, or 87-90 TPI. I know it wasn't older than an 87. I've seen the 1-iron from the Burner Tour and the 87-90 TPI, so I know those are not it. Still hunting for a picture of the rest.

It could have also been a stand-alone driving iron, but it doesn't show up anywhere on the iron list, but their wedge sets do, so I'd imagine it would.

Am I crazy or does this club actually exist?

I've been looking for one for ages, but have not been able to find one. I'm starting to believe this club didn't exist.

I am not sure if these are them, but I believe Taylor Made made a set called FireSoles. Maybe that came with a 1 iron that had the flame on the bottom. not sure just a guess.

The Firesole, Firesole Tour, and Supersteel (they all came out at the same time, 1999) weren't available in 1-iron.

Anyone else have any idea what I'm talking about? I've been looking for this club for a couple years and I'm starting to think it doesn't exist.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
