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.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
