i am fairly new to golf and want to purchase a iron set. I am looking at the 09 taylor made burners. I have a problem though, i am only 5'2. I have only played four times with my friend who plays for the school. My last game i shot a 90 he told me i was playing great. I really liked it so now i am looking in to a set of clubs as i know this is something im obssesed with. These are supossed to be very forgiving which is one of the main reasons im looking at them.If anyone has any experience with these or another set that may be good for me your input would be much appreciated, thanks.

I would strongly suggest you to do club-fitting, if you really into the game and plan to keep playing for quite a while. It takes a little time and money, but it's great for your overall game in the long-run. Consult with a pro or good club maker and let them recommend clubs that are right for you. That's the best way to start playing.

Otherwise, you will have to find time and go through some trials and errors experimenting with clubs out there.

Good luck.

i used them in the indoor range hitting into the net at academy, i felt very comfortable with them even though they were to long. I was thinking i could buy a set and have the shafts changed to fit me. Would that be a possibility.

I bought a set of the 09 Burners, played them once and sold them. They were nice enough, but not any better than the Wilson Staff CI7's I was playing at the time (and am still playing).

If I were you, I'd look at the iron tests, hot list etc... from 2/3 years ago and see if any of those irons catch your eye. You'll be able to find them on close-out sites, ebay etc... for a lot less money.

Your height won't necessarily affect the length of irons you play.

09 burners are great... but it takes a few weeks to hit em right. My 4-6 iron shafts are slightly longer than my old Titleist 804 OS irons. This is my 2nd set of irons so I recommend a used or discounted set first while you're new to the game.
In my Callaway Warbird stand bag:
Ping G15 10.5* Graphite Design YS-6+ S
Ping G15 4W 17* Aldila Serrano S
Adams IDEA A7 19* UST Mamiya AXIVcore S
TM 2009 Burners 4-PW / Titleist SM Vokeys 50, 56 & 62 / TM Rossa Daytona 1 Ghost / Titleist Pro V1

Wilson Staff and 'ProStaff' are different animals. I'd stay away from the ProStaff stuff. You can find the Di9's and Ci7's pretty cheap on ebay. If you stay 2 or 3 years behind the latest and greatest, you can pick-up clubs inexpensively.

I got my Burners last year and my game (especially iron play) has steadily improved. Last year I shot anywhere from 85-90. This year I worked it down and my last 3 rounds have been 75,78 and 79.

I am 5'4". I can tell you from experience, get fit. You won't believe how it will help your game. I hit my clubs well before they were cut down, but even better now that they are a more appropriate length.

I've been playing my 09 Burners since last Sept. It is true that they take a little getting used to but I've never played a set of clubs that didn't. I don't think I've ever played a better set of irons in my life. You can't go wrong with Taylor Made. Get a fitting by a pro, it doesn't cost any more than a set off the shelf and they'll fit you (very important) especially for a beginner. Remember this..... Have fun and enjoy the game and if you forget this.... have fun anyway.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.
