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 #

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      A sand trap is not supposed to have 3 inches of water in it. To me that’s temporary, casual water. Just like if your ball lands in a deep rain puddle in the middle of the fairway. I would have gladly hit out of any spot in that bunker. I understand that it’s a different rule. I just think it’s a dumb rule. You are penalized because it rained.  Here’s what I think is the dumbest rule in golf, and all sports for that matter - professionals playing for millions of dollars in a tournament have to carry around a little pencil and scorecard to keep their score and sign it, when there are big scoreboards all over the course and on tv. Can you imagine the Knicks losing because they didn’t count their score correctly? Like I said, I love the game, but it’s time to move into the 21st century already.

      Could course committee have an MLR option to declare this bunker GUR?

      Sorry, I will disagree. You got a penalty because you hit it somewhere and didn't want to play it from there. Bunkers are not the general area. If you had hit it into temporary water in the general area, you'd be entitled to relief. You hit it into a hazard, a bunker. Why should you get free relief when you hit it into a bunker? If someone else hit it into a different part of the bunker, without water, they'd not get a drop for free out of the bunker. Heck, it'd cost them two strokes if they didn't have an ACC and wanted to drop it out of the bunker.
