Today is a big day for Taylormade Golf as they announce the launch of a brand new set of irons. The Taylormade Burner 2.0 irons. The 2009 Burner irons were/are incredibly popular by design and playability and this next generation looks to be a step up both of those categories.
You will see below some in hand photos as we got the 1st THP set pre-launch and will be working with them for our review and to answer questions for everybody that they have about them before release.
They have been through a brief workout on the range, so I can answer some questions that you may have on them before they get a full workout.
But THAT IS NOT ALL! Taylormade wanted even more real and unbiased feedback. so they were kind enough to supply FOUR more sets for THP Members (fit to their specs) to test out and you will get 100% honest and unbiased feedback from all of them as well.
The 1st two sets went to the THP Equipment Testers

These two individuals are the two THP Equipment Testers and are used to answering questions on club performance and writing reviews. They will be part of the testing panel that will be updating this thread frequently and answering questions that anybody has come up.
The 2nd two sets went to forum members chosen by Taylormade Golf

These two individuals were chosen by Taylormade for a variety of reasons. They will be at the THP Golf Outing and be able to share their experience and clubs with the rest of the people at that time. They are extremely active forum members and like to talk about equipment. Both have had extensive equipment writeups and answered questions on the topic (TC w/Shaft Fitting, OEM w/Wedge Shoot Out). Taylormade thought that these two choices would make great testers and give honest and unbiased information to everybody else looking for long term feedback rather than just a review.
I want to thank all 4 of these testers for taking the time to try out this equipment and post long term reviews for readers here as well as answer any questions that people may have. I also want to thank them for honoring the embargo date set forth by the company. These 4 have known about these irons so that we could get their specs for about a month now and have followed THP Protocal involving embargo dates.
This goes to show that being active on THP does have its benefits. Golf Ball testing, Glove testing, FULL iron set Pre Release Testing, AND EVEN MORE COMING IN 2011. We will have a lot more forum testing going on throughout the next year and the next big forum testing could involve YOU!
Taylormade Burner 2.0 Irons
The TaylorMade Burner 2.0 Iron Set consists of irons individually engineered, resulting in the enhancement of multiple club properties that promote distance, uniform distance-gaps, increased playability and better sound and feel. A multi-functional sole lowers the center of gravity and reduces turf-drag to make it easy to launch shots high and long, while the inverted cone in each clubface is strategically sized and shaped center of gravity location in each head is precision-placed to optimize long-, middle- and short-iron flight; high-coefficient of restitution faces promote fast ball speed for long distance in the long-irons.
