hey guys,

has anyone had any experiences with burner 2.0 or mp h-4s irons?

although my handicap is high, im not such a bad iron hitter. im pretty accurate and getting the ball high and far isn't too much of a problem (of course with game improvement irons)

i'm having difficulties choosing between mizuno h4s or jpx 825 pros, which i can get for very cheap from a friend (half the orig. price), or buying burner 2.0s which I've tested briefly and liked.

its either cheaper slightly used mizunos which aren't totally for my level but i intend to reach over this summer OR burner 2.0s that are at my level for about the same price.

pls help me choose :)

I'm currently playing TM Burner 2.0 irons (4-AW) and I honestly feel that the irons are the most diverse irons i have ever hit.

In the past I played Titleist 755 forged irons, which i liked very much but I wanted to upgrade. After testing about 10 different sets I couldn't find an iron that gave me more distance, consistency, and feel (all 3 at the same).

After some time on the range I've been able to work the ball pretty consistently and control my trajectory.

I truly believe these irons will make any mid to high hanicapper better. As you get better, the irons will still help in many ways. I don't feel a golfer will ever get to a point where these irons inhibit their game.

The only way I will switch to a different set is when i can make perfect contact on 99.9% of my swings... Or when the irons are about five years old and I want to upgrade to the next thing like these (more likely to happen).

If you do purchase the TMs I hope you enjoy them as much as i do.. Which i'm sure you will!

I'm not disregarding what the previous poster said, but personally I would highly recommend getting irons that are below your "handicap level" if you will. This is ONLY if you intend to seriously improve though. If you just want enjoyment out of the game playing only every so often, get the Burners. They're great irons, don't get me wrong. I used to have a set. But I give a lot of credit to my current set of irons (mixed blade set) to dramatically improving my game. I had to put in a lot of work, but it was all worth it. Bottom line is if you are serious about getting better and will put in the work, go for the Mizunos. And I buy all my clubs used FWIW.

If you're getting the Mizunos used from a friend, see if you can take them out for a couple of rounds before you commit to buying them. You'll pretty quickly find out how you get along with them.

I can't speak for the MP-H4 irons but, I do  have a set of TaylorMade 4-AW Burner 2.0. I consider them to be game improvement irons for mid-handicappers (20+) like myself.  They are relatively easy to hit and are very predictable with respect to distance and control. Since I don't have the ability to actively "work" my shots, they will probably serve my needs for the foreseeable future. For my skill level, the Burner 2.0's are the right clubs for me.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
