I was looking to upgrade my irons, without breaking the bank. I read a lot of the reviews here before I purchased the clubs. I was a bit sceptical from reading the various reviews from the lower handicappers. My worries were alleviated as soon as I pulled the 8 iron out and hit it for the 1st time. It felt great. The club had a ton of pop and the ball flew straight as an arrow; worked great with my fade too. It's going to take some time to dial in the yardages, but all in all, they feel fantastic. Had some ugly mis hits, but the rewards far outweigh the drawbacks. If you get a chance to buy these clubs, especially for the price I did, don't think twice; you won't be disappointed.

I have been playing these clubs for nearly 5 years. When I was playing regularly and getting some practice these clubs proved to be the best. I could work the ball low, high, left, right effortlessly. BUT if you dont practice a lot and work on your game dont waist your time with these very unforgiving clubs. The avg weekend golfer (which is what I am now) will suffer overall. mis hits are UGLY. Customer Service Golfsmith is ok, only complaint is that they could have 'fitted' me for my clubs. After two years I realized I needed my shafts lengthened and larger gripts after my twin was fitted with PING clubs by a PGA club pro. Who knows if I have the right lie angle.

WOW, JUST BOUGHT A BURNER TOUR 2 IRON LAST WEEK, AS NOT THAT COMFORTABLE WITH USING WOODS OFF FAIRWAYS. BEEN TO THE DRIVING RANGE, WHICH WASN'T THAT CONCLUSIVE, HOWEVER THE LAST 2 TIMES I'VE USED IT ON THE COURSE IT'S AWESOME. AS NOTED IN THE LEVEL OF PLAYER BOX I'M HITTING IN THE 100 + AREA, AS JUST RECENTLY RE-STARTED AFTER A 10 YEAR BREAK, HOWEVER THIS CLUB IS FANTASTIC. THE OTHER DAY I WAS AROUND 240-250 YARDS OUT ON THE FAIRWAY FACING A SLIGHT INCLINE TO THE HOLE. HIT SWEET AND MANAGED TO GET WITHIN 20 YARDS OF THE GREEN. YESTERDAY OFF THE TEE, FACING A PAR 3 208 YARDS, WAS A LITTLE UNCERTAIN WHETHER TO GO WITH THE 2 OR A 3 IRON. CHOSE THE 2 TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION I MAY NOT GET A PERFECT CONTACT. OOPS, GOT A PERFECT CONTACT. NICE HIGH TRAJECTORY, HIT THE BACK OF THE GREEN, UNFORTUNATELY BOUNCED OFF AND WENT 10 YARDS BEHIND, AGAIN ANOTHER 230-40 YARDS OFF AN IRON!!. HAVING TO RE-ADJUST CLUB SELECTIONS NOW. FOR SOMEONE OF MY STANDARD THAT IS REALLY SOMETHING, ESPECIALLY AS RECENTLY A SHOP PRO RECKONED HE GETS AS FAR AS 240 YDS ON A GOOD DAY WITH A NEW CALLAWAY 2 IRON (BIG BERTHA?? @ £79), HOWEVER FOR THOSE OUT THERE THAT HIT BETTER PROABALY YOU MAY BE EXPECTING THIS, IF NOT GO FOR IT!. ALSO THERE IS GOOD FEEDBACK WHEN STRIKING THE BALL. YOU KNOW IMMEDIETALY IF IT'S NOT ON THE SWEETSPOT, ALSO HELPED BY THE SOUND WHICH IS PROBABLY NOT UNLIKE HITTING THE BALL WITH A HOLLOW PLANK OF WOOD AND THE BALL DOES NOT TRAVEL THAT FAR. I WILL BE KEEPING THIS CLUB FOR SOME TIME AS I AM SURE THAT BY NOT HAVING A MORE GENEROUS SWEETSPOT O/S - MORE FORGIVING TYPE CLUB, THIS CLUB WILL MAKE ME STRIKE THE BALL BETTER AND AS A RESULT I WILL LEARN BY THE MISTAKES. THE REWARDS ARE JUST TOO HIGH NOT TO TRY AND TRY AND GET IT RIGHT EACH TIME. IF THE REST OF THE IRONS ARE AS GOOD AS THIS ONE I CAN DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS MODEL. I AM ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A 1 IRON, HOWEVER MY OTHER CLUBS ARE WILSON STAFF TOUR BLADES FG55's, WHICH I'M ALSO VERY HAPPY WITH. THE COMBINATION HELPED ME GET MY BEST EVER 9 HOLE SCORE (40 ON PAR 33) YESTERDAY EVENING WHILE RUSHING AGAINST FADING DAYLIGHT. LOOKING FORWARD TO IMPROVING ON THIS IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

first off....TM BURNER TOUR IRONS ARE NOT FORGED, despite what several reviewers here seem to think. I played these for 3 years, and always wondered why I lost 15 yards on every club after I bought them. They are not at all forgiving, you might as well be hitting straight-up blades. When you hit the pea-sized sweet spot they feel very nice, but what club doesn't? The best thing about this set is the feedback, when I mis-hit em' I know EXACTLY where I hit it on the clubface.... so they have that going for them....which is nice. Overall, I would not recomend these clubs to anyone. If your looking for a cavity back/blade hybrid, spend the extra cash and get the vastly improved TM 300's, which by the way ARE forged. One other good thing about these... play em' for 3 years, and you will be able to hit ANYTHING.

I started golfing with Pinnacle irons 2-pw, then moved to Tommy Armours, now I am currently golfing with these Taylor Made tour irons an dtehy are unbelivale, and have made a big differnce to my game. I am getting the accuracy, height and distance that I wanted. The clubs are also quit forgiving. Similar Products Used: Pinnacle irons Tommy Armour 845 scotts |

As i'm not a golfer that changes his equipment every year when i make a change it has to be a good one because for better or worse the irons will stay in the bag for a long time,well the old callaways had to go (ten years they were getting a bit tired the shafts needed changed again so cost made me look for a "new set of irons")spotted the "taylors" on-line looked at reveiws then went and tried them out was very impressed,price was agreed at 200 euros (the shop wanted 250) and i had my new irons.The only thing i find is they hit the ball a little higher than my callaways(S2H2 VERY OLD MODEL) but as i now live and play my golf in Italy (where wind is not a great problem)this doesn't really bother me,even a slight mis-hit the ball still flys quite well.The shafts are Bubble s90 stiff so this will take some getting use too as i've always been use to good old True temper steel (stiff) but as the years pass us by well its time to try and get all the advantage's possible. Only time will tell if i've bought well but at this moment i,m very happy (and the wife as well because i didn't spend a fortune)the irons are finished very well and look good.WELL DONE TAYLORMADE.

Excellent clubs. They look and feel great but most importantly they work well. It''s easy to work the ball both ways and you can hit the ball long with them. Not great for high handicappers though as you need to be a decent ball-striker. Similar Products Used: Ping i3 |
