Taylor Made Burner Plus Reviews

By Eric Cornelison

TaylorMade Burner Plus Iron/Hybrid Combo

Specs

TaylorMade Burner Plus irons come with either an 85-gram lightweight steel shaft or a 60-gram graphite shaft, which helps increase swing speed. According to TaylorMade, the Burner Plus irons have the highest moment of inertia (MOI), which promotes more forgiveness and less distance loss on off-center hits. The wide-beveled bottom and thin face gets the ball high into the air quicker and has more offset to prevent fades and slices. The 4-iron through approach wedge is the standard set, but can be replaced for a few dollars more with the hybrid rescue and iron combo.

Perks

These clubs launch the ball high into the air and don't lose any distance. The 19-degree hybrid can easily replace your 5-wood in the bag and can glide through the rough, shooting the ball out like a rocket. If you like the feel of the Burner driver, you will get the same feel.

Sacrifices

The standard set should come with the rescue hybrids because the 3- and 4-iron are still hard to hit for the mid-handicapper. The Burner Plus is also hard to keep low when you need to go under those trees you find yourself in off the drive.

Bottom Line

A good set for the mid-handicapper, but if you want more shot shaping like a fade or draw these may not be the clubs for you. If you are looking to hit more greens, go out and buy these, but remember you are going to pay about $899.

Industry Experts Debate What Makes an Iron Easy to Hit
by Mike Chwasky
What makes an iron easy to hit? It's a question golfers and designers have been asking since the days of the Nicoll Cleek and Forrester Mashie. When it comes to drivers and woods, it's not nearly as mysterious. Big, light club heads, long graphite shafts and modern materials are easy to spot, and their functions are relatively obvious. With irons it's a different story. At first glance, most irons are almost indistinguishable from one another. Yes, some have longer blades or more offset, but for the most part, irons don't look that much different than they did 25 years ago.
