Posted January 20, 201015 yr comment_158801 I'll be doing a Burner TP review for the blog but seeing how everyone loves pics so much, I thought I would post them here first.
January 20, 201015 yr comment_158806 Love the head profile. It's TM's first nice iron design in my book. The PRPR iron looks pretty good, too. How much offset does it have on the 7 iron?
January 21, 201015 yr Author comment_158815 I had called the PRGR slightly larger than compact but next to the burner tp, the PRGR was actually shorter heel to toe but slightly taller at the toe. Offset on both 7 irons was nearly identical which is a small amount of offset as you can see in the pictures. Here is the PRGR offset which keep in mind was taken on a different day so is from a different distance and angle.
January 21, 201015 yr comment_158831 Sadly, I couldn't afford the Burner TP irons and ended up buying a set of the R9 TP's with KB 6.5's. I still want the Burner TP's... :(

January 22, 201015 yr comment_158842 I've had a decent amount of time at the range with my Burner TP's now and I can honestly say these are without question the softest cast irons I've ever hit. They have a mid/high trajectory and very forgiving for a modern players cavityback. Keep in mind I'm hitting balls in a heated stall in conditions ranging from mid 30's to low 40's at best, I think it's impressive that they feel soft at all in these elements. As I've posted in the past the irons durability is a nice added benefit, been in the bag for weeks now and do not have a single ding or any bag chatter at all, I LIKE THAT! Interesting to note historically I am not a Taylormade fan at all but I must say this offering is impressive...BB Edited January 23, 201015 yr by BigBen

Do you see any advantages (or disadvantages) in distance with these irons? What is the feel/sound like with the 7-4 irons with the undercut?
January 23, 201015 yr comment_158854 Please could you post comparison pictures of the Burner TPs and the R9 TPs.
January 23, 201015 yr comment_158855 To answer questions, distance appears to be on par if not a bit longer (seems like I spin this setup a hair more which is good!); feel seems identical as you work into the undercuts which has definitely not been the case for many of the irons in this category; I was surprised to be honest. Might have something to do with being cast vs forged; don't know. This was one of my concerns before I purchased these, I disliked the difference in feel as this category iron progessed into the cut-muscle, to me it seemed as if the if you where playing two totally different iron sets, not good. I have not experienced this at all with the Burner TP's; thank goodness! Edited January 23, 201015 yr by BigBen

Just go to the top of the screen and click on PRO SHOP HOME. Find the product and checkout sir. If you have any issues just drop me a private message.
February 20, 201014 yr comment_159316 hi There just the standard model. Ill need to get a 1" longer in the shaft length and 2degree upright. Dont think thats an option yet. If you can help me would be brilliant. Thanks derek
February 21, 201014 yr Author comment_159318 Derek I already sent you an email. The Custom options probably won't be available until March some time. Thanks.
February 21, 201014 yr comment_159321 sorry about that something went wrong with my email address. Thanking You
February 24, 201014 yr comment_159371 hi gocchin Just wondering about the steel shafts in the burner iron in your opinion. The dynamic gold s200 v Ns pro Stiff. For a swing speed of about 97mph. Thanking You Derek
February 24, 201014 yr comment_159373 Hard to go wrong with the Nippons, at your swingspeed I think the S200's might feel a hair too stiff. It all depends on your tempo and transition, if it's fast then maybe not. I would think the Nippons would have a softer feel too. Sorry to thread jack! BB
February 25, 201014 yr Author comment_159379 BB is right. At 97mph, the 950GH would be easier to load and more forgiving for you. They will launch higher than the S200 and also provide slightly more distance.
February 27, 201014 yr comment_159414 thanks to both of your for that. Looking forward to ordering in march when TM starts the custom orders. Thanking you Derek(Ireland)
March 3, 201014 yr comment_159465 If these irons are shafted with Nippons from the factory, would they be taper tips or parallel?
March 3, 201014 yr comment_159469 If these irons are shafted with Nippons from the factory, would they be taper tips or parallel? Great thing about Japanese clubs is they use taper unless they are graphite shafted.
March 4, 201014 yr comment_159486 Can anyone speak to the distance of the Burner TPs compared to the Burner Forged? Interested even if it is only comparing the demo irons that you may have received. Trying my best to formulate a decision between these two and the R9 Burner Forged without being able to hit any of them first. Thanks.
