I was just wondering if anyone has these irons and if they like them or not. Just looking for some opinions on these.

I have these, and I love them.

What do you want to know about them?
Post whatever you want to ask and I'll try my best to answer.

they are pretty good irons, but if you want better performance from taylormade irons, then go with like tour preferred or tp mb. The tour burners are a little bit bigger than the average player's irons normally are. They do a good job of getting the ball up, but are still more of a GI iron.

I play the TP Smokes and they are amazing. I highly recomend these clubs above any other blade.

He claims a 13 HC and you are trying to tell him blades are the way to go? you have to be somewhat of a great ball striker to use them and he wants more forgiveness. I don't think that I can agree that those would be the club for him. Great club maybe, bad fit for a mid HC. But hey I could be wrong. He could want to try blades, he may be good with them. Stange things happen.

I couldn't agree more with the post from Falcon CO. I went thru a rather extensive TM iron fitting this past fall and the tour burner just was not the right fit for me. The basic burner was quite a bit more forgiving and had a better flight for me. Graphite stiff was #1 fit with reg steel #2. If you want to invest some time and $50 ( typically refunded if you purchase a set) find the TM fitting cart and work with a qualified fitter. Takes 30-60 minutes and is well worth the money. If you want to hit the ball straighter right away go for a more forgiving club, i have played with Miz blades and just could not be consistent enough all the time. good luck

I purchased a set of these back in May of 08, I've found them to be really good. My handicap back then was around 15 which is about right for a GI iron like this. Handicap is now 10.3 so for me they've been really good and even though I'm sneaking up on single figures I have no plans to replace them. They are pretty workable as well so you can get them to do just about everything you'll need them to do. Pretty good sweet spot and very forgiving. I think TM are releasing a new normal Burner iron in March or April which may also be worth considering, if nothing else the Tour Burner may come down a little in price as well. Hope this helps.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
