I know I'm starting a ton of threads but my buddy told me about the new burner irons and said they are incredible. He is a low handicapper. does anyone else have them? and what do you think of them? are they as good as he thinks in you're opinion?

I had the burner irons on demo for about three weeks and used them on the course a few times.

From what I have read on them, each iron may be longer than your average iron set and may take a little getting used to. They are also lighter that's where I could tell a pretty big difference. I will admit, they seem to hit the ball further. They are some long irons, I will give them that.

However, for myself, lighter is not so much a good thing. I didn't like them all that much. I mean yes, they are nice irons, they are long, and they look great. But to me they seemed too light. I like my irons to feel like irons and the burners were just too light. Granted I think they did that on purpose.

I decided to buy the r7 irons. they were 399 as opposed to the 699 for the burner irons and I hit them great this weekend. I've hit the r7 irons better than I hit the burners. But that was me and may not be the case with you.

Try to go somewhere and hit them. They look great and are longer. You might even have to club down. I just couldn't spring for that kinda money and don't like how light they were.

    • Day 75 (15 Jul 25) - Wedge work today in the backyard.  Focused on setup and  dialing in on immediate target line point in front of club. This drill helps me to center on longer range targets for tee shots as well as approaches.  
    • I still need to do my pieces better.  Still a little steep in the downswing. Hands could get better depth earlier in the backswing.  This shot started left of target and went left. Probably path was out, face was closed a lot.       At A5, it’s probably the best it’s been.  I need to feel more shallowing from A5 to A6. Hands need to go straight down and club needs to shallow. I need to turn. I am just way too closed here. Just trying to buy time to lower the arms. Everything stalls from time to time. Timing is highly variable. Not a big fan of the slight EE.  I am just hanging back at impact.     
    • Welcome to The Sand Trap!
    • Well, on a "Bummer Note,"  I borrowed a Great Big Bertha driver, a 5 wood, and a 7 iron. I did not do very well but did shoot a 112 playing both right and left handed.   So, I decided to take a breather and play golf on my Play Station 5 and not play any real golf until the new set of clubs get her.  So, I will be back in  a week or so and bring everyone up to date.    Retired Old Man = Terry 
    • I usually just drink a beer after playing golf. I may stretch my arm out and alert the barkeep that I want a second beer!
