TM Burner Tour or R7?

[Arsenal8807]

Needing some help here.. I came across the Tour Burners at my local sporting goods store for 399 and the R7's are still rotating stores in the chain, they have about 200 left so I can get my hands on a set in a bout a month; no problem.

I hit the tours and the just felt kinda awkward on any miss. Like the hits that were square in the middle felt good but sometimes lacked smoothness.

Need some assistance here guys.. Thanks

399 for a burner? My recommendation is to never go back to that store.

They are 150$ at golfsmith. I picked on up on ebay last night brand new for 130.

Not that the OP's post was clear, but I think he was talking about irons, and I think you're talking about drivers.

If the OP is talking about irons, you can't really go wrong with R7s, but you should try to demo them before buying them. And if the Tour Burners didn't feel right to you, then you probably shouldn't buy them, though with a bit more time with them, you might overcome the awkwardness you felt. I've read they're good irons.

I agree. 399 for the tour burner is A LOT. Dont get me wrong its a great club but at the pro shop i work at we have it on sale for 139.99. Definitely consider looking at Dick's or another golf store or something because 399 to too high.

Now is it the r7 425?

Sorry guys I meant the Tour Burner Irons..

I tried many irons before selecting, and the Tour Burners were my favorite, until trying the R7's. I felt that I actually hit the longer irons better with the R7's. The price difference didn't hurt either! :D

A friend got a set of Tour Burner irons late last season and I hit a couple at the range with them Monday. They felt excellent, imo. Much lighter and thinner profile than my Nike super game improvement irons.

Thanks for the replys..

I went to an Edwin Watts and a salesman helped me out a little although he said I need a stiff shaft since I swing fast. How much of a difference will I see in swinging a club with a regular or a stiff shaft?

trajectory. stiff will give u a lower ball flight than the regular.

this is true. but if you tend to hit a slice or a hook and stiff shaft will help fix that. the stiff shaft will prevent the wipping action of the club face. you might wanna go back and grab a 6 iron of both the burners and the r7's and have them in both stiff and reg. swing normally with the stiff shaft and see how you do. And then pick up the regular shafted clubs and take a normal swing but slow it down just a bit and see how you do. You might find that if you swing just a little bit slower you will hit the ball straighter, have a nicer feel, and have a better control over what the ball does. good luck

Absolutely love the Tour Burner irons.

High trajectory, good amount of forgiveness, easy to hit.

Ok. So I hit the Tour Burners again today in a regular shaft and they felt really good almost equal to the R7's. I felt better swinging them again and it must have been that I needed to adjust to them because the first time wasn't good at all. I think I'm sold on them!
