The Burner series are the latest addition to TaylorMade and the Burner Iron combines technology and hot clubfaces to achieve greater speed. TaylorMade has described this iron to have “SuperFast Technology,” which presumes that the iron is intended to hit the ball far.

Negatives

With all this new technology some players have raised discontent over the appearance of TaylorMade Burner Irons. For an iron that is fully equipped with advanced technology, the clubhead’s look is a bit contained. Although the cavity marks the Inverted Core Technology in red and the back of the clubface bears the Burner XD badge along with the Sound Managing Cavity badge, these aesthetic qualities do not appear at address.

Other concerns that have been voiced is that the titanium face is not as wear resistant as one would think. Also, scratches and discoloring occurs quite easily on the clubface. Titanium clubfaces generally have darker marks that are more apparent.

In addition, the offset of the longest Burner Iron is more than some players can get used to and some of the Burner irons are harder to hit. Although TaylorMade claims these irons offer maximum forgiveness, they actually are less forgiving than the r7 CGB Max.

Positives

Although their has been complaints voiced, TaylorMade has achieved their goal of providing a iron that increases speed and distance. Despite its extreme claims about forgiveness, these irons are still forgiving enough to let players hit decent distances even with mis-hits. This is an advantage for higher handicappers who cannot get consistent hits.

However, too much forgiveness and you will have trouble detecting where on the clubface you are hitting. The benefit of these irons is that they offer consistent contact throughout the game.

The TaylorMade Burner Iron is geared towards the mid to high handicap player and for those with swing speeds between 70 and 90. These irons are able to get the ball on high trajectory and come with long shafts. Overall, these irons do not feel as solid as forged irons but they are successful at hitting long distances.
