I just retired the set last week I've had since 2010. Handicap around a 15. Never had any issues with the clubs I just had a chance to finally upgrade my bag and got the apex.

 

I still have the old set in the garage though just in case I need to go back (and mostly because the trade in value is so poo poo).

Hahah I JUST bought a set tonight at my local driving range. I went in and they had a nice used set 4-GW sitring there and I in conversation. Asked how much. Guy said $100.00 so I took the 7 iron out to the range with my hogan apex plus.

 

I was shocked how easy, high and far I was hitting the 7 iron. It was just point and shoot. I really enjoyed the turf interaction and had no problems with the wider soles. Needless to say, my ball flight was much higher but it looked good and dispersion was tight. I could still hit draws and fade if needed but took a little more effort. These babies just launched, probaby 10+ feet over my hogans. Was hard to tell but looked like a half to club longer as well.

 

Went back in and grabbed the 5, 8, pw and aw and hit more and more balls comparing it to my gamers. Decided thsee are just so easy to hit and miss hits were lost very little distance. I am a 14 handicap who flirts with low 40 rounds in my league. I am looking forward to playing these and wonder if they will save me strokes!

They are silly easy to hit. I still have set as back up with swing goes for crap. Retired them in 2013 I was and 8 hcp at the time . Two of my buddies still play them and say they will not change . Tm sold a ton of these irons , The sole looks huge but the effective sole is fairly narrow . Any way a fun set of irons.

I have to agree. TM did a fantastic job in the soles with how they are beveled. I've hit a ton of new irons. XR, XR OS Ping G, M2....the Burner Plus are just stupid easy to hit. I am a 14 hdcp. I truly am excited to see what my scores will be like this year, YES they are that easy to hit lol

Still use them to this day. Had the lie changed plus 2 and hit draws all day.

 

Do wish I had a somewhat heavier shaft in mine sometimes though

If you are a 14HC that can hit a draw or fade on command ball striking is not your issue. There are lots of scratch players who only hit it one way.

Hey guys, bringing up an old thread here.

 

I have a line on some used Burner Plus irons (4 - A Wedge) for $150 CAD/$112 USD. The only flag is the guys lists them as a 2014 set. Haven't touched base with him yet to see if he bought them used or new in 2014.

 

But, how do the Burner Plus irons compare the the TM SpeedBlade irons? I've got a used set of those available too (4-A also) but for more than 2x the price of the Burner Plus irons.

 

I'm a HIGH handicapper FTR.

Don't know about speed blades but i traded my burner plus in for aeroburners and wish i would've kept the bp. Ended up getting ap1s but sometimes miss my bp.
