I started playing golf about 10 years ago and could not justify paying the name brand price and I didn't have the money anyway, but I really wanted to learn the game. I had no idea what clubs to buy but I knew how much I could spend so I bought a cheap set. I improved steadily until I started playing into the 90's. Just bought my first set of Burner 2.0 and I cant wait to see how they play. People would often ask to swing one of my knockoffs and comments were made that they hit pretty well. I'm sure they don't compare to the real thing. I am playing in a Veterans tourn next weekend hope to have the plus 2 extensions on by then, 6'6" 250.

You probably should refrain from extending your irons the full 2". Club fitting depends mainly on wrist-to-floor measurements which are largely consistent among people of different height because our arms are proportionally long for our bodies. I would guess you want +1/2" length and 2 degrees upright lie for a proper fit on your irons. If you're good with charts, look up the Ping color code chart on google images for a rough guide on club fitment.
