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.

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.

Yes. Just GI I believe.

They really don't.

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.

    • Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree. 
    • Depends on my lie and the green I am working with. If I want to fly and stop, my 58* If I am looking for it to run a bit, my 54* And on occasion if the lie and green call for it, punch and run with my 7i
    • I did the RTJ trail, we just did Grand National and Capitol Hill. We were trying to minimize travel time. It gave us 5 courses to play. You pare playing 3 of the 5 we played.  If I had to pick, I would play the Lakes over the Links at Grand National. Links felt too penal on approach shots. If you can't get height or spin, it felt like every ball that hit the center of the green ran off the back. A lot of the greens require force carry, no running it up. It just wasn't that fun to play.   Judge - Really good course, some really cool holes and terrain.   Senator - Really fun open course. They call it link style, I can't remember how much you can play the ball down, but it has the aesthetic appeal.   
    • I do that at the range; I just have been going through a half-assed pre-shot routine. 😇 I just kind of waltz up to the ball and hit it. I catch myself just going through the motions of aiming. Once I started aligning my club to an intermediate target, I felt like I was aligned way open to the target but just trusted it. Like, if the club was aimed at the flag in the middle of the green, then my body was aligned left of the green or more (assuming something like a 100+ yard shot). I think I was more concerned with where my feet were lined up and not the clubface.  A question on alignment then.  So, the ball is like what, 3-FT away from the toe target line. So, does that mean if my toe line is aimed at the flag, the club is aimed 3-ft right? Does the perception of the green looking smaller in the distance impact that in terms of how we hit the shot? I feel like the geometry should work that the ball is actually aimed 3-FT right.
