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.

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.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
