Taylor Made Giving Away 20,000 Free 6 Irons!

[Greg]

I just got an email yesterday saying I might get one, if i do great, if not no big deal. If i get it ill use it, dont plan on buying new irons but hey its free, freebies are always good. Might use it for my get out of trouble club so I dont risk damaging one of my other irons. I currently have an old 7 iron ive put in the bag that I bought at a local pawn shop cheap (still only 13 clubs so legal) for when you hit the ball too close to a tree, rocks, fence, etc. Basically any time I think i might hit an obstruction with my swing or backswing ill use it to save my regular irons from needless abuse or if i get frustrated it will be the club i throw or beat into the ground, kind of like Mike Perez did with every club on the last Big Break. But seriously, Im more worried about tearing up whatever course Im playing at and looking like a fool, most ill usually do is mutter something to myself and go on. Nobody else cares that I just chunked that 6 iron, they're worried about what they're doing.

I knew the lofts before I bought, what moron would not?

i would bet that 8 or 9 out of 10 sets of irons purchased are bought by people who dont know what the lofts are...

I wonder how many unknowing customers are carrying around TM Burners thinking that they're some magical club that are better than all the other irons?

As a nerd outside of golf, this makes me wonder: if there were magical clubs that improved your game, would they be +5 irons or -5 irons?

Might use it for my get out of trouble club so I dont risk damaging one of my other irons. I currently have an old 7 iron ive put in the bag that I bought at a local pawn shop cheap (still only 13 clubs so legal)

And I just figured out where it would go in my bag (currently sitting at 13 clubs) if I get one.

Got an email last night saying mine will arrive in 10-15 business days.
Hey free club why not?

[ukalum]

Received mine today. Just the club. No literature, sales info, hype, nothin. Seemed like a marketing miss to me.

[FHopper]

I hope people who get the clubs review them on this thread.

Did you guys get steel or graphite? I have a graphite that I would like to trade for a steel.

[ukalum]

First thing i noticed was the length of the club...seemg long. I compared it to my set, and the TB 6 iron is 1/2 longer than mine, and maybe 1/8" longer than my 5 iron. We all know they are really sending us a 5 iron, which is a more difficult club to hit than a 6 iron. They should be sending out 7 irons.

I wish I read the official rules first. It tells you that you need certain answers to get the clubs. All my answers matched except for which Irons I play, which are "Other." So I won't be getting a club lol.

i like my burner irons.

more forgiving that other irons i have hit.

I complained to a TM rep about this a few weeks ago at the Los Angeles golf show. He told me to sign up again, and list one of the irons that qualify as my set.

I think it was the only really good thing he told me all day, since he also told me that the RAC MBs are bad clubs and that anyone without a very low handicap should be playing Burners.

i received my burner 6 iron couple weeks ago, honestly it doesn't feel much different off the face than my r7, although it may carry another 5 yards or so

[tomohr]

I like my r7s. I bought them last summer and have enjoyed playing with them. Bought them when I started so I really had no clue about the specs, but they had a good price so I went for it. Kind of sucks after now researching all of the different lofts that all of my clubs are actually a club higher, but they still play so I'm gonna keep on swinging them. They are certainly a fun set to play with, and most of the time the ball goes in the air and forward so I'm not complaining. However, I think once I decide to go in for a new set I will look for something a little more true and honest to my swing.

[FHopper]

Don't drink the hater kool-aid, you have excellent clubs. If lofts mattered they would be on the sole instead of arbitrary numbers. What matters is you that have a club for the distance to the green and you know which one that is. Check the lofts from the 70s and you will see all clubs are delofted now,it is just a matter of degree. Enjoy your clubs. Now if you want to feel duped just ask where the truffles are in a box of chocolates called truffles.

It's advertised in the March issue of Golf Magazine. The ad says go to:

Shame does not look like it is available to us lot in the UK :(

[ukalum]

My second 6 iron just showed up last nite. I wonder if TM is going to send me an entire set.

[tm22721]

I can get a demo iron (6i) at any local golf shop for $10 or less. Not at a discounter like Dick's, mind you, at a full retail golf shop.

[DocWu1948]

Quite the crock that giveaway. I finally read the qualifying info and saw that I don't meet them because I also checked "other" irons.

Well, I wouldn't care, except that TM is constantly sending me email saying woohoo woohoo you "might" get an iron, so read our spam literature. Now I've bought several TM woods/drivers in the past 3 years, and I like the product, but tricks like this do not foster customer loyalty.

I just re registered and tweeked a few answers to meet their criteria. Hopefully it works
