So the Taylormade Burner Plus get rave reviews.  People saying for only $269 they are some of the best clubs for the money anywhere.  Also the Burner 2.0 get FANTASIC reviews at $399 with people saying they would pay more for the 2.0’s than the newer RBZ’s.

So the question is is it worth the extra $130 for the 2.0’s over the Plus?  Is there another set of irons in the general price range I should consider?

Thanks!

Try the burner 1.0 irons. I liked them more than both the plus and the 2.0, plus they're also pretty cheap.

I have about 220 rounds on a set of Burner Plus irons. Tremendous clubs - I keep wanting to upgrade them to something shinier or prettier but I hit so many solid shots with them & get such great feedback with them, cant bring myself to do it. For the $$ I don't think you could buy a better club for what thryre going for now ...

For me I'd go with the 2.0's just because they have a slimmer sole.  My iron shots are rarely fat and I hit down on the ball taking a small divot after impact, so nothing gained with the wider soles on the Plus.  Granted the wider sole would help if you're a sweeper with not hitting them fat and getting the ball up there.

Disclaimer:  This is just from looks alone... I haven't hit either club.  I've held the 2.0's in the store and took a couple of make believe practice swings and that's it (however, on said practice swings I was consistantly hitting the ball 200 yards with the 8i ).

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
