My test of Taylormade Burner 2.0 irons
The Taylormade Burner 2.0 irons feature progressive variable face thickness for a higher Coefficient of Restitution (CoR, or "trampoline effect"). As a general rule, a thinner face has a higher CoR and can produce longer hits. As you move from the long to the short irons in the set, the face becomes progressively thicker, the shots become shorter and the feel becomes better, in part due to the thicker dimension of the face.Off-center contact now results in longer distance and a better ball flight because the "Inverted Cone Technology" used in these clubs has been modified to produce higher ball speeds no matter where impact occurs on the face. TaylorMade Burner 2.0 irons also feel softer and more satisfying, thanks to improvements made in their "Vibration Management System." I tested a set of TaylorMade Burner 2.0 irons fitted with the RE*AX SuperFast 55-gram shaft in regular flex, but stiff, "M" (TaylorMade's designation for senior flex) and ladies flex shafts, along with steel shafts, are also available. I don't have much trouble hitting a 4-iron, but this one seemed especially easy to hit, and the scoring irons were accurate and landed softly on the greens. My off-center hits weren't punished dramatically, and the feedback was enough to let me know I missed the shot without being harsh.
