I have had the new 2.0 for 3 weeks now. They are fantastic for me.. I am hitting each club on average 20 yards more..

I can't believe how well they work for me,almost like they were made for me.. I am hitting the 3 iron 220 yards.

AMAZING!!! Love them..

I have the Burner "1.0" I guess you can say.  I love them too...great feel to them.  Haven't played or demoed the 2.0s.  Guessing they are fairly similar.  I do know that the lofts on both sets are strong compared to other brands.  That's how they can advertise farther distances.  Glad you are enjoying them!

Brian, ya hit the nail!  My brother, a teaching pro was trying to get me to look/demo the 2.o's  the diff to cut it short, between my ping G10 are... PW is 46*, the 2.0 PW is 45.  meaning a 4i TM 2.0 is equal to my Ping 3i.

you hit them 20 yards further cause my 7 iron  is your 9 iron. Also a quarter inch longer shafts than average.. not to burst your bubble.

Keep sharing dude, that's what this site is for. I almost bought Burner irons for that reason. If you can gain and edge with golf equipment do it. I know I need all the help I can get.

Don't take what people say personally. I read stuff on here about pace of play that just makes me laugh but it is what it is. No sense getting into an internet pissing match with anyone. It's a pretty good and knowledgeable crowd overall though.

Back to the topic. I do not recall hearing more of a buzz over a set of irons like I have heard from the 2.0. I know of 2 others that got a set of these and they are like kids on Christmas morning. Nothing like finding something that just makes you want to play all day every day! Congrats!!!

The one thing that I did not like about the 2.0 was the finish on the heads. I like the chrome finish look.

I have now played two days in a row as a single walk on and both days I was paired with random people and two different people were gaming the new Burner 2.0 irons. And they seemed to hit them pretty well. They weren't for me though. But theres nothing like finding some irons that you love! I finally did…

In my Ogio bag.

Titleist 910D2 driver, Adams irons & hybrid, Callaway wedges & a Nike Method putter.

And a yellow ball.

I too have played with some fellow golfers that were swinging the 2.0s.. They too really are loving them.... Although, I did have the grips replaced(as i do on all my clubs as i have rather large hands and need over sized grips) the felt fine just to small diameter wise.. I use the lamkin over sized grips..

I just read the GolfTest 2011 in Golf Magazine. The Burner 2.0 were described as having "optimal gapping" of 12 yards between clubs.

Plasma, have you noticed pretty even gapping in your yardage such as this?

I am thinking about some new irons myself. I have been leaning toward Miz JPX 800's but the Burner's sound interesting too.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
