I still love my X-14s and have no real reason to change. They are an excellent standard in quality irons, and are extremely forgiving. However, I love my Burner TP and Rescue too. Play with what works.

my dad just ordered these for me for my birthday, i can’t wait to take them to the range next week!

I had 6.0 project X shafts installed from Taylormade and when I had them measured they were from a 6.4 to a 7.3!!!
It doesn’t matter what the shaft says on it. Stiff, Regular, etc…..It’s just paint or a sticker on a shaft. It means nothing and now I’m convinced of that.
BUT THE HEADS ARE AMAZING! I just hit the new R9 TP irons and they are equally as good. Thinner top line and less offset that I love too!
The quality control …
The quality control on their shafts is horrible! And it’s not just Taylormade…..it’s all the major companies.
I even went through their custom fitting down at The Kingdom.
Get your shafts checked by a custom fitter that will measure your shafts in front of you after they install them to make sure the shaft flex matches. I guarantee nobody has the correct flex in their entire set.
Great. Make sure …
Great. Make sure you’re comfortable with the shaft flex. Because Callaway does a “medium stiff” shaft, that’s where the timing differences come in. If I still have any problems squaring up the irons (without having to get “handsy” I make talk to them about regular shafts.
Thanks for the …
Thanks for the reply. I finally decided I’m going to go with the Burner irons. I have an appt at the Taylor Made Performance Lab next month. I can’t wait.
I play the Taylor …
I play the Taylor Made irons about half the time. The shaft is slightly stiffer than my Callaway irons, so under pressure my timing is slightly different. Next month when I return to Florida and have full range access I plan on making the switch full time, to gain the distance benefits.
So did you make the …
So did you make the switch?

I was comparing to …
I was comparing to my Callaway X14s, but have demoed the Taylor Mades every year at their media events. If you want to hit long irons rather than rescue clubs then I would endorse getting them. If you have the money and want a change, than again, don’t hold back. If you are happy with what you play now, than hold on to them and wait for discounting by TM in the future on the Burners. ALL the hardware is good stuff.

I have the old burner irons, I love them but do u suggest I change, is there a big difference, please message me!

Just got a set of 09 burner irons delivered yesterday! Love them, after just one round! Could not recommend them enough. I am a 17 handicapper and suit me perfectly got mine at a really good price on gimmugolf (dot) com after shopping around and even bartering at my local pro shop.

i have played taylormade clubs all my life and i still have my r7 irons from a couple years ago and i find i hit them just as consistently as i do the burner irons, a diffenence in performance

STeeL HeAdS!!! worst go with the burners regardless…better yet TP MB Smoke.

yeah i guess, but my point was that high handicappers would find it difficult.
but if you were a …
but if you were a low handicapper and hit the SS 89% of the time then you would get used to it wouldn’t you?
um i didn’t even …
um i didn’t even know that they made diablo irons but the callaway x-22′s are really good i would say they might even be a little better than the burners as for the ft they have a bigger price tag thats it so if ur a callaway guy i would go with the x-22
Oh, ok. the …
Oh, ok. the Callaway Steelheads aren’t even sold from Callaway anymore. What about the Callaway X-22 Irons/Diablo Irons/FT Irons compared to the Taylormade burners. Are the Callaways better?
the callaways are …
the callaways are outdated compared to the burners.the callaway steelheads are not as nice.plus the technology the put under the burners will make you hit way farther than the callaway steelhead.look up the callaways and you will see wat i am talkin about in looks
What is better, …
What is better, Taylormade’s Burners or Callaway’s Steelheads? Havn’t used/seen any of the Steelheads
how would you even …
how would you even compare callaway steelheads to taylormade burners
