Thanks for the replies. I bought the set off CL; it was going to be hard to pass up. The guy went to Hilton Head with his family and left his clubs. So in order to play, he bought a new set while there. The set included: TPX 10.5 Powerbilt Driver with an OptiFlex shaft TM Burners 4-PW Cleveland 56* CG14 Warrior 60* Odyssey White Hot #1 Orlimar 10 section walking bag with cover ~30 Pro V1 / Penta balls I had been looking at the Burner 2.0's. However, seeing this setup, I went for it. I was able to go to range and overall liked the setup. I'll be using the GC's for some training aids for around the house. Putting/chipping mat for one. Audaxi, I had demoed the TM Burner 2.0's as well as a few other sets. This was the reason I felt comfortable with purchasing the regular Burners. The 2.0's, I gained about 25-30 yards over my original set (15 yr old Ping knock-offs, cut down 1/2"). I'd like to get on a monitor with these and see how I'm hitting them to compare. I do know at the range, I have a slow fade with the mid/long irons. The short irons were mostly straight. I don't know much about the driver. I have to do some reading on the OptiFlex shaft? I was using a 9.5* R Flex R5. I guess I did ok for $200. Thanks, J

Good afternoon all, This was my first summer playing and since I'm pretty much addicted to the game I thought I'd look to upgrade from the hand-me-downs I'm currently using. I made it from Mid-60's to Low 50's with those things. I'm not very familiar with the "Season" of golf. I'm told you can play as long as there isn't snow on the ground, haha. From a marketing standpoint, I'm guessing early spring - mid fall would be the season? Based on this timeframe, should I expect to see deals around Christmas or leading up to Christmas on golf sets, irons specifically. I'm leaning towards the Taylormade Burners 2.0 for $399 new, however, I've located a set on CL for $200 with only a few rounds played and they look like they're in very good/little used condition. The new clubs I can use gift cards versus paying cash. I'd prefer to use the GC's, but $200 is a substantial savings. Experienced buyers wanted! Thanks, J

Golf: Links in Time (1999) Tiger Woods Story (1998) Seen these 2 just the other day browsing around.

Hello there. Kinda stumbled across this site searching for reviews on golf clubs. Seems like a place full of information and people. This is my first full year of playing golf. I've been messing around with it for the past 4 years with some 20 year old Ping knockoffs. Looking forward to chatting with some of you. Thanks, Jason
