TaylorMade Burner Plus Irons Review


TaylorMade counts a lot of clubs in its Burner series, including many iron sets. So what type of golfer is the target audience for the TaylorMade Burner Plus irons? These irons, the company states, are "developed for the 10+ handicap bomber who loves his Burner driver and wants an iron that shares the same personality and the same fast-and-long qualities."
The Burner Plus irons have the highest MOI of any irons in the TaylorMade stable, according to the company. That means increased forgiveness on mis-hits and less loss of distance on off-center strikes.
The muscular clubhead design has a thick topline with a wide beveled sole. In between is a thin clubface, significant perimeter weighting and a center of gravy very low and deep to help promote a high launch and trajectory.
The Burner Plus irons also have more offset than other TaylorMade irons, discouraging a fade and promoting a draw ball flight.
The Burner Plus irons are equipped with with 47-gram TaylorMade arrow grips and TaylorMade SuperFast RE*AX 60-gram graphite shafts in S, R, M and L flexes (or SuperFast 85-gram lightweight steel in S, R and M flexes).
Standard set configuration is 4 through attack wedge, which carries an MSRP of $799 with graphite shafts or $599 with steel shafts. The clubs are also available in a Combo configuration, which includes Burner Rescue hybrids 3 and 4, then 5-iron through pitching wedge. The MSRP for the Combo set is $899 with graphite shafts and $699 with steel shafts. And there is also a Ladies configuration of Burner Rescues 4 and 5, then 6-iron through attack wedge. The MSRP for the Ladies set is $899 with graphite shafts, $699 with steel shafts.
