Any suggestions?

A friend of mine lost his Taylormade Burner PW and wanted a replacement, I said I'd look around to see what I found.

For a PW I would go for a specialist wedge, Cleveland, Nike, Taylor Made etc... if he wants to keep a set intact then speak to your local pro, he maybe able to get a favour off the Taylor Made rep.

Just had to replace my 9iron (lost on the course)
I started at froogle.com and typed in "MacGregor NVG2 9 iron" I was able to find a replacement that way.

There are some websites that specialize in "finding" clubs for you.

Golfsmith online sells individual irons. They have a section where you can pick from current releases (not sure about older models), or if you go into the customize area and build irons for your specs, you can select individual irons there as well. It might cost a bit more, but you should be able to get exactly what you need with limited trouble.

I don't know if the other golf e-tailers (TGW, etc.) offer the same service, but I know Golfsmith does.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

www.tgw.com also sells individual irons (current models) in their customizable tab for that given iron, he could buy a Burner there if it's a recent model.

Going back to my original point, ask him if he considered getting a specialist wedge. For me most set wedges are just a 9-iron with more loft. The best thing I did was get a specialist Cleveland wedge, so much more spin and control.

I've thought about this option too. Since I live in Norway, I can't order from anywhere. Some don't ship here, some are too expensive (Golfsmith). I suppose a wedge wedge, not part of a full set, will be just as fine. He is a high handicapper though, so he will need the cavity back, but perhaps wedges come with CB.

Thanks! Yeah, it is Burner 2009 models, not the Plus model.

They did unfortunately not ship to Norway. Not surprising, as we're not part of the EU.

A specialist wedge won't work, I haven't seen any at 45 degrees loft yet.

If you really want it, I am sure we can figure it out. Send me a PM.

(But I think you can order single TM irons anyway in any pro shop.)

Has he asked at a golf shop if they can make the order directly? It shouldn't be different, in concept, from those purchasing a partial set.

    • Better late than never.  I got The Stack System over 2 years ago.  Problems with ruptured tendon and bone-on-bone knee stopped me from using it.  Foot was a year to full recovery.  Had the knee done in January.  This weekend was first full swings in quite a while, With spring here (at least according to the calendar) I’m finally going to do the program.  It’s 32 degrees with flurries tonight so I’m not sure exactly when I will start but should be soon.  
    • Day 29  (6 Apr 26) - Snuck  a few balls with the 6i while waiting for the local school tournament golf match to start.  Worked on tempo - starting with 1/2 swings working to full while working the ball slightly from side to side. 
    • Day 230 4-6 worked on wrist arching in downswing and hips. Going slooow today. Hit foam balls.

    • Erik J. Barzeski (@iacas) • Instagram reel 1 likes, 0 comments - iacas on April 6, 2026: "The LM1 from @shot_scope is a $200 launch monitor with a great display and extreme portability. Since 98% of a ball's distance inside of about 150 yards is determined... The ShotScope LM1 is a $200 launch monitor that made waves last fall and at the PGA Show in January. Think of it like the PRGR or the Stack radar, but in a different form factor and with a better display. It's also got a rechargeable battery (no messing around with AA or AAA batteries), and a bigger, brighter, multi-color screen over the greyscale LCD on those units. I believe it still uses the same algorithms to "guess" at the distance given the club you've chosen, assuming a relatively moderate launch angle. I do not believe it measures your "VLA" (vertical launch angle). As we know from Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, ball speed for shots 150 yards and shorter accounts for about 98% of the distance the ball travels, assuming you didn't blade the bejeezus out of it, so the LM1 can, like other simple launch monitors, really help you dial in your distance wedges. I don't think ShotScope is honoring discount codes yet (you're free to try clicking the link and using the codes in the sidebar here at TST), and it's sold out for now anyway. But, you can sign up to be notified when it's back in stock. I'll update this thread as I continue to test the unit, but so far I really like: Ease of setup and use. The quality, brightness, and colors of the display. Battery life seems adequate. I'm not sure about five hours, but… it'll last well over a full session. The battery charges quickly and with a standard USB-C cable. I had some difficulties inside when players were hitting drivers into a net 13 or 14 feet away. Many swings reported 35 MPH, or 38, or 32. My hunch was that it was seeing the speed the screen moved, perhaps, as we tried a number of configurations. It was a solid screen, not a net, and later testing to an archery net that was 35 feet away yielded consistent and reasonable numbers every time.
