Taylormade R9 Forged vs Burner Forged

Just curious on the comparison between both models and what type of golfer are they geared for. Never played Taylormade but these clubs intrigue me.

I think they sorta overlap, The burner forged which I have hit is a great iron, soft and forgiving with just a little offset. I would play it, The R9 Forged is also forgiving not a players CB like the Burner TP or R9TP Forged but in between and both irons share similar attributes and player levels just in two different ways about it.

Thanks just my opinion I have yet to see the R9 Forged in person.

In Japan top pro's often use the more forgiving club, you will see many of the women using the R9 Forged, some men as well.

I would love to try the Burner Forged but the offset scares me a bit. I have the 2008 TP Forged which has nearly the same Face Progression Numbers and Hosel Dia as the Burner Forged. Therefore the Offset is a little less, but seems a little much for me in the short irons. Certianly Game Improvement for both.

The numbers below show that the R9 Forged will have a touch less offset than the Burner Forged. The R9 Forged has less offset in the long irons and more offset in the short irons, than the R9 which seems odd.
