I am looking at Burner irons. Do I have this right?

There are Burner and now Burner 2.0

There was Burner Plus and now SuperLaunch. These are GI or SGI?

Where do the Burner LCG fit in all of this?

Did I miss any non-pro non-better player non-tour Burner irons to consider?

Thanks.

There are Burner and now Burner 2.0

Yes. Both have very strong lofts (about a club more than what they are i.e. 7i is really a 6i) and the 2.0's have a thinner face and will give you a little more distance.

There was Burner Plus and now SuperLaunch. These are GI or SGI?

Yes. Just GI I believe.

Where do the Burner LCG fit in all of this?

They really don't.

Did I miss any non-pro non-better player non-tour Burner irons to consider?

Tour Burners which were only on the market for a short time before the Burners replaced them. They look pretty much like the Burner Pluses. You can get them new pretty cheap nowadays.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

What CassinoNorth said. I just bought a set of Burner 2.0 irons yesterday. So far I've hit 3 buckets of range balls with them and am very impressed. Can't wait until all this stupid snow melts off so I can take 'em out on the course. I can actually hit the 4 iron long and straight consistently, which is something new and different for me. That's really odd considering it's the same loft as my old 3 iron and the shaft is about 1/2" longer.

In the Bag:
Driver: Cleveland Launcher Ultralight XL 270

FW: Taylor Made 300 17 degree 
3-PW: Mizuno MX-23

AW: Mizuno TP-T11 52/07 (Bent to 50)
SW: Mizuno TP-T11 56/10

LW: Mizuno TP-T11 60/05

Putter: Original Ping Zing

Ball: Wilson Staff FG Tour

Thanks to both. I am looking at the Burner Plus. They seem to be the GI/SGI I want/need but less hybrid-y than the Cleveland XLIs I have now.

Great clubs, especially for the price. A buddy of mine found bought a set off a friend from work, only played with them twice, and he sold em for 250! My buddy was so head over heels to get them he sold me all his launcher irons, as well as a launcher 2h for 130 bucks! Gotta love a good deal, so hopefully if you look around enough you can find a great price as well.

    • 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.

    • 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. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
