Advertisement for Burner irons

[plugged]

Have you guys seen this new ad for Burner irons? Narrator goes on about how each feature is optimized and revolutionary and then at the end says "and every Burner iron is better than any iron in your bag." I about fell out my chair laughing. That sounds like something from an eight-year-old. I'm sure TM thinks their clubs are great, and they may be, but to make such a ridiculous statement I think will turn more people off than on.

Think how awesome we'd be if we played Burners - these crappy Mizunos are holding us back!!

I know. I feel so underprivileged.

What if you are playing the R9 irons? Are they better than those too?

I love some of the golf ads out there. Especially the ones that say something along the lines of 'the best ______ ever'. So what your saying is the club I bought from you last year sucks? And if every club is better than the last, why did it take you so long to get to the best? Where was it 5 years ago?

Yep, that's pretty much what they're saying.

On a related note, I just bought last year's Nike driver.

They should be honest:

The new Burner - 10% shinier than last year. New Mizuno MP68 - 12 months newer than last years model!!

If they wanted to be honest, they could also say "the new burner features 20% more fake carbon fiber stickers than any other iron on the market" or "look clunkier at address than 80% of the clubs on the market!"

My favorite is #1 in golf!

How can there possibly be 5 number one balls, 4 number one drivers, 7 number one irons, etc.

I don't get it, "number one according to our advertising agencies" I guess.

Wait so you mean they aren't actually #1? .... ******!!

Speaking of advertising, anyone ever hit any of the Bobby Jones clubs, I see the infomercials all the time on golf channel, just wonder if anyone has tried any of them, wedges, hybrids, fairway woods or driver. If only they made irons and a putter. They look like good clubs, just dont think they're worth the price they're asking for them on tv, im sure they're on ebay for less. They seem to claim a lot of awards and endorcements from magazines.
