Have been playing for a few years now and had a set of Taylormade burner irons before, current hcp is 12.9. A couple of weeks ago I got a set of these great irons (used) from a Uk detailer, at a really good prize for such a good set of irons.
I love them! A good hit feels like hitting butter! Have been trying to hit fades and draws with my burners with limited/some success, it is a lot easier with my new tour preferred irons! A bonus (or maybe drawback depending on what you are looking for) is that they do really tell you when you hit the ball less then perfect, you hear it and you feel it!
I will stick with them for a long time to come!

Hi,
i was looking to upgrade my irons to something a bit more workable and with less offset. im 15 years old and i play off an 8 handicap and i have been told that my swing speed is around 115mph. i currently use the taylormade burner 09 irons with 80g stiff shafts, i tend to hit the ball very high with these irons which is very ugly to look at, do you think the taylormade tour preferred irons would suite my game?

If your swing speed is only 70MPH you really shouldn’t playing stiff shafts on your irons. You really should get fitted for your irons before buying this set.
Good Luck!

Aaron,
Stiff shafts are more for someone that has 100mph+ for there driver swing. I’d stick with regular but as Rob says best to get them fitted.

Aaron,
I really recommend you get fitted for the proper shaft for these irons, which is the best way to find out what shaft suits your swing. If your iron swing is 75-80 a stiff shaft may not suit you well, that’s why its best to get fitted.

Good Luck.

When you say the shafts are for if you swing 90+ is that with driver or irons because with an 8 iron im like 75-80 but with driver im like 95-100mph.

Do you recomend these to me with the stock shafts in stiff

When you say these irons are good if you have a 90mph+ swing speed are you talking about with the driver because I am about 95 mph with my driver and about 75-80mph with an 8 iron

If it helps I am a 10 handicap

Do you recomend these clubs with the stiff dynamic gold shafts in them?

Hi Andrea,
The TaylorMade Tour Preferred irons can be custom ordered from TM with Project X shafts. I think your best bet is to get fitted for these irons to see if they are right clubs for your swing. If you can’t get professionally fitted in Norway, at least demo them before you buy them.

Good Luck!
