Taylormade Burner 2.0 Irons & THP Testing

Everynow and then, THP will be looking for testers to try out new sets of irons. They will post a signup thread then post away.

Welcome to THP and thanks for sharing that info on the 2.0s. We haven't had too many people chime in that they just don't like these irons so TM definitely has a good one on their hands here!

Look around THP for a few minutes and you'll see that they do seedings like this quite often actually. There are a lot of regular forum members getting picked to test some pretty great equipment.

You're a black sheep alright. But really they just didn't work for you, nothing wrong with that. I'm glad you gave your honest feedback!

i have the tour burners and they're amazing. i love those irons.
but these bad boys....oh man, i'd give my left arm to have some of these. i don't care. i'd still love playing them one armed!
edit: no offense to any one-armed golfers...i know there are some very, very skilled ones out there.

Same here.
The 2.0's looked and felt a little better, but not $599.00 better than my 09's.
So, I returned them and picked up a Mashie to try out. . .

How do the r9's compare to the burner 2.0s?

You can't scale this!
So it appears I'm going to have to revise my opinions about these irons again. Some zillion pages back I mentioned I tried to hit them after reading the glowing reviews and found them to be wildly inconsistent in my hands no matter what I personally did at the time. Through various fittings and trial/error processes I've found that they didn't work for two reasons. The first was I still had a developing swing and yes, it was my fault. The second is that even now my swing is more set these shafts still don't work with a violent progression, I need the extra weight.
Lo and behold I was talking to a club pro about this and he pulled out one of his own irons for me to try. What an amazing difference from my first experience! According to him it's a hockey player thing to need the extra weight due to a shortening back swing and powerful impact zone motion. Either way, it was a Burner 2.0 with a KBS tour stiff shaft in it that made all the difference. I get that the lofts are jacked but there's something satisfying about cracking a 7 iron 8 yards further then your current set with the same effort. I'm going to see if I can hit one again on a monitor just to see the rest of the numbers but this was a very intriguing discovery for my internal iron ho...

BTW, does anybody know who manufactures the shafts for Taylormade. These seem to be the only truly ultra-light steel shafts that have less that 2* torque (according to TM 1.7* in the stiff). Aerotech i80cw are in the 2.2* range and Nippon's 750GH which are 83gr have 2.1*.....

99% sure they are made by True Temper for TM

I thought they were Reax shafts myself but not certain.

I received my free 6 iron today. I Will give it a try tomorrow and see how it stacks up against my JPX 800. I tried one when I demoed a few clubs at the shop I purchased the JPX's at.But it will be nice to be able to hit them on the range.

Water hazards are tough!
I just found out I will be receiving a free 6 iron soon as well. Will definitely be interesting to compare it to my Diablo 6 iron.
My main concern is that my current irons are fitted, +1/4 inch longer and 2 degrees upright. I guess I will be getting a standard length and lie 2.0. Will be interesting to see the difference.

i have the burner 2.0 irons from 6 up to pw, i have ordered the aw and the sw burner 2.0 irons to go with it, however would i be better getting the xft wedges instead. Do the burner 2.0 aw and sw have decent grooves on them to produce decent spin on your shots or should i cancel the order and go forthe xft wedges.

I had the AW and loved it! There are a couple of guys here that have the 2.0`s all the way to LW and can speak more about them.

If you missed my 'essay' earlier I am a scratch golfer who has now put a stock stiff set of 2.0's 4-SW in the bag and the LW is on the way. The AW, SW and LW are as good, and in my case better, than any of the players wedges I own, including the XFTs!
