Hits the ball straighter...but balloons into a headwind.
I have mixed feelings about this club. I won the matching hybrid at a recent golf outing and hit it great. I found the matching 3 wood on sale and picked one up and hit it great too. Then I got the matching driver on eBay.
The advantage I believe of the square headed design is that it's supposed to hit the ball straighter with less hook or slice and I think in that regard, it succeeds pretty well. The problem I've found with it though is that it also has a low center of gravity which puts some backspin on the ball, which also helps keep the drives straighter. That's fine when you're hitting downwind and in crosswinds, but into the wind, the ball balloons quite a bit in my opinion causing a big loss in yardage.
I'm also not real wild about the sound of the driver. It's very loud. I'm almost embarrassed to hit it on the driving range as it makes quite a bit of noise.

These clubs are long...deceptively so...Good set for higher handicappers!
3 of 3 found this helpful I am currently a 5.0 handicap index golfer. My handicap has been on the rise over the past couple of years as my age has increased to its current state of 55 years of age. Prior to the purchase of this set of TaylorMade Burner 2.0 irons, I have always used forged irons with steel shafts going from forged muscle backs to forged perimeter weighted irons. The thought process has been that as I’ve aged, I need to concede some things to father time and move to a more forgiving set of clubs to retain both accuracy and distance.
The move to the TaylorMade Burner 2.0 irons therefore was a pretty radical one for me. Instead of being a forged iron, it’s designed to be a very forgiving investment cast maximum perimeter weighted iron, built for distance. The investment cast perimeter weighting isn’t anything really new as that has been around for a number of years now. TaylorMade with this set manufactured greater distance by decreasing the loft of each iron throughout the set and by adding length and reducing weight to each of the shafts (I got the stock lightweight steel shafts in my set).
Make no mistake, these clubs are long…very long. The first few rounds I used them, I was flying shots over the green or at least past pin high consistently. But in reality, I believe the added length simply comes from the stronger lofts and the longer and lighter shafts. My set was comprised of a 4 iron through the gap wedge (“A wedge” in TaylorMade speak), but because of the way the clubs are manufactured, I’d say you’re simply getting a disguised set of 3 iron through pitching wedge with the numbers of each iron altered by one number.
I like the appearance with the darker finish but I’m not as fond of the massive size of the clubheads nor the thicker top line of the irons versus what I’m used to seeing with forged blades. Also, with the lighter weight of the shafts, I’ve had a hard time adjusting my timing at impact with these clubs and I don’t believe my shot dispersion is as tight as with my forged clubs.
So, for now, I’ve gone back to my Mizuno MP-62’s with Project X steel 5.5 shafts. I’ll keep the Burner 2.0’s in the closet for a while and probably bring them back out from time to time as I get older and need to compensate for lost distance.
My star rating and whether I would recommend these clubs to a friend depends upon the skill level of the golfer and what they are looking for in a set or irons. I think these clubs are a great choice for double digit handicappers who are looking for a forgiving club and distance. If you are a single digit handicap golfer, I think forged irons are still the way to go.

Exactly what I needed
2 of 2 found this helpful My Nexus 10 battery was several years old and wasn't holding a charge anymore. Found this battery replacement kit complete with the battery and replacement tools. I was a bit nervous about opening up my tablet, but figured the replacement kit was priced at a level that it was worth a try.
If it didn't work, I'd just trash the tablet. Found a video online and followed the steps exactly, proceeding very slowly. Lo and behold, it worked and the new battery is performing great, lasting just like an original battery. It's a bit tough to open up the tablet, but be patient and you'll succeed. Definitely watch the video though so you can see how to open the tablet and disconnect the ribbon cables, then re-attach everything.
