TaylorMade Burner XD Irons promot ball speed and add distance
The TaylorMade Burner XD irons features an oversized, stable head for forgiveness and ease of play. SuperFast Technology and a thin, flexible, fast titanium face increases ball speed for more distance. TaylorMade's Inverted Cone Technology (ICT) promotes more ball speed and distance on off-center hits.
The XD clubheads are built on a 17-4 stainless steel frame, but have a thin titanium face (read "high CoR"), intended to promote ball speed and thus add distance. Titanium also happens to be lighter than steel, and some of the weight saved by using titanium has been redistributed low and deep in the clubhead to help launch the ball higher. I say some, because these clubs play to a D0 swingweight even with their lightweight shafts (compare to the D2 swingweight featured in the Cleveland CG Reds). In reality, few people would notice the difference between those two swing weights. And for most people, the lightweight of the clubs would, indeed, increase swing speed.
TaylorMade's Inverted Cone Technology, borrowed from their extremely successful line of woods, is in plain view on the backside of the clubface. ICT is intended to expand the sweetspot and (big surprise!) deliver high ball speed.
Like the r7 CGB Max,TaylorMade Burner XD irons are big. They aren't just oversized. They are Supersized. They feature a thick topline like almost all game-improvement irons, as well as a large offset. The soles are advertised as medium width, but they appear fairly wide to me. Still, though I prefer a thinner topline, less offset and a smaller club overall, I quickly adjusted to the look of the Burner XDs (with the exceptions of the three- and four-iron).
