TaylorMade Burner Plus Irons

I'm a fairly mediocre golfer so I always thought that clubs don't make too much of a difference. I had a starter set of Wilson clubs for years, but after trying my buddy's set of Taylor Made irons I decided to purchase these. The main two way that they improved my game are:
1) Longer distance on a consistent basis
2) Better play out of the rough, the club head is much heavier so it plows right through the thick stuff

I highly recommend these clubs, the only thing I'd recommend is to change the stock grips. I like the wrap around grips best.

Having struggled with blades for over thirty years, I was encouraged by a low-handicapped partner to give these Burners a try. They're affordable and, if I may add, sharp-looking. I took them right to the course and found them consistently hitting to full length and straight, so much so that I had to be much more careful in target selection. That is, with my blades, I was shooting at a target the size of a green, perhaps offset left or right to avoid hazards. With my Burners, my target size is a quarter of a green, and I pick my line based on where I want to leave my ball. My biggest challenge now is shaping shots. I was in trouble so much with my blades that I learned to bend around obstacles like trees. The Burners are much harder to shape. But, then, is that such a terrible problem when the ball flies so true most of the time?

I learned after purchasing these for my dad that the 2009 Burners were better received, however, these clubs are great for your average (or even below average like me!) golfer. The weighting of the club face is spread evenly around the face for a forgiving contact with the ball, meaning you don't have to hit the ball exactly on the sweet spot. My dad was delighted to get these for Christmas and has already enjoyed using them on the course.
For the price, this set of clubs is an excellent deal, a quality set made by a great company.
