Cant find anywhere in my area that has BOTH sets at the same time to hit side by side, I really like that the r9's dont have the added shaft length as I am only 5'10.

I am coming from a set of 695 cb blades that I love I just have lost my consistency and need something a little more forgiving. I enjoy looking down at a more compact head but need a nice forgiving club. is the r9 a good compromise or should I lean more towards the burners? I like the idea of getting a forgiving club that looks like a blade but dont know if that is truly possible.

I seemed to hit the R9's better but Ithink that was a product of the extra shaft length, if I had them cut down to proper length, or bent the heads out then what would I really see as the main differences between the two?

Thanks in advance, any help is a plus!!!!

Did you get a chance to hit the new Callaway Diablo forged irons?
It has the look of a player's iron at address(smaller face, minimal offset, thinner top line), but the forgiveness is just amazing. It's almost like hitting a GI iron.
I'm sure you'll like the forgiveness of those clubs.
Only thing is, it's pricey($999) and has horrible graphics.

I own the Burners and an R9 6 iron too. I like the R9 better. The Burners have done the opposite of what I had hoped. I expected them to pretty much even out shots that are struck well vs shots that are not so I would have more consistent distances. Instead I am having a 30 yard difference with my 7 iron between a typical swing and a pure strike. Yesterday I flew four or five greens because I hit the ball well. I would hope the R9 would not do that, I think the Burner's multiplicity of tricks to make the ball fly end up making them difficult to predict. I talked to a young man on a tee box yesterday who was hitting the Burner Tours and he was seeing the same problem. I think I wish I had the R9s. (grass is always greener.)

My advice, for what it's worth: get fitted for your irons. Whether you go with the Burners or the R9's, proper fitting irons will make a difference for you. Oh, and you can't go wrong with TaylorMade!

I definitely plan on getting fitted! One of my issues, that i guess ill never know for myself is whether the extra length that comes stock on the tour burners is one of the reasons why I dont like it quite as much. It doesnt make much sense to buy the set you dont hit as well then get them fitted only to find out you still dont hit them as well. Guess the r9's are it! Now just have to sell my other set :)

      Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By saevel25 ·

      Backswing: Body is responsible for taking the club around. Arms are responsible for making the club go up.  Downswing: The process is reversed. Weight Forward So, your arms need to do stuff. Set up to the ball. Do not raise your arms at all. Rotate your body as you would in the swing. You will notice your hands stay down near your right hip. So, how does the club get up? Your arms raise it up. You can't take your arms out of the swing. What you are describing might be more of a feel, but it also might not be correct.

      It depends on what you mean by "while the core remains still" I wouldn't consider his core "remaining still" here, DJ's abs, belly button, and belt buckle have rotated almost 90 degrees by the top of the backswing. Those components of his core then have to rotate/uncoil on the downswing. Far from remaining still IMO.

      It’s going to change but your basic setup feel should be about the same. Your body kind of adjusts to length and lie angle of the club. You’ll want to pay attention more to ball position as you change clubs more than how bent over you are. I understood what you meant from what your wrote.

      Oh I probably was thinking the wrong thing or the wrong way when I typed the golf swing was more of a body swing (in my mind).  The in my mind part probably should have said in my opinion or based on what I have read.  Just meant the body needs to be involved more than the hands and swinging the arms while the core remains still.
