Burner 09 irons - WOW

[golfbluecustard]

Just traded up from the RAC OS to the Burner 09 irons - all i can say is WOW.

I know a work man shouldn't blame his tools but for someone who shoots in the 90's these are a quantum leap forward.

Just wondering now if i should have gone for the 2.0?

Why not go the whole hog and get the R11s,,

I have just purchased 4-PW in the R11s,and I have to say best purchase for a long time.

Why not go the whole hog and get decent irons like the G20s, i20s or Razr X Black?

the Burner irons are 'big', almost hybrid, and I'm not surprised that you find them more powerful than the RAC OS.

other than that it's horses for courses - I really enjoyed the RAC LT, and currently wouldn't swap my R9TPs for anything I have seen. the crux of the issue is matching the shaft to your swing.

There's nowt wrong with 09 burners, if it wasn't for the shafts being wrong for my game I wouldn't have outed them.got me from 18-12, good clubs IMHO

I tried one AGES ago and I agree! WOW! I put my money into lessons instead but until I got my swing sorted and got my MP57s I had never hit a ball like it. I do find the 57s are the best clubs I have ever hit (bar some mizuno mp 60 somethings belonging to my old clubs assistant pro)

best is always interesting - I still have my Wilson Staff Fluid Feel forged muscle backs from the 80's, inc a 2 iron. on the rare occassion that I hit that club well it has no peer; blows my Ping Eye II 1 iron away.... but then aain I don't carry either now...

no real difference between the 09's and the 2.0s bar the shafts fitted, iirc the 09 have mid luanch shafts as stock and the 2.0s a flighted shafts. the offset values start and finish at the same point but they get there a little differently other than that its just cosmetic. im using the 09 burners atm and im playing off 7 the long irons are ridiculously easy to hit. generally the 3 iron is hitting out to around 220 and im not exactly built. Cant face sacrificing that right now though i am considering switching the lower end stuff for more accuracy if finances will allow

No wonder they are long though, they have incredibly strong lofts.

You should see the lofts on the cobra s2 forged

Sounds like I'd rather not.

43* pw.....

43* pw.....

That is no pw. It's nearer to an 8 iron, but I could accept it as a 9. Pw? No way! Daft. How many gap wedges are you going to need to buy? And the 3i is a 1, the 4 is a two, etc. so you buy a set of irons, can't play the 3, 4, or 5, and then need to buy 4 more wedges. Bargain.

They will be long though. For sure.

yeah they burners both 09 and 2.0 are uprated, as such a bruenr 3 iron is the same loft and length as a normal 2 iron and so on
