TaylorMade Burner SuperLaunch Irons
Coming soon to Golfbuyitonline is the New TaylorMade Burner SuperLaunch Irons, available to buy online from April 1st 2010. See below for information regarding the NEW TaylorMade Burner SuperLaunch Irons released from TaylorMade.
The Burner SuperLaunch is an iron specifically designed to be spectacularly forgiving and easy to get in the air, allowing a certain segment of players – mainly slower swingers and low-ball hitter to get more distance than from any other iron we have to offer. In addition, their generous offset helps straighten a slice and promote a draw. All at an appealing price.
Burner SuperLaunch irons are also engineered to deliver tremendous forgiveness from end-to-end (heel to the toe) and top to bottom (topline to leading edge). That makes it a great iron for high-handicappers, who hit the ball all over the clubface. In fact, Burner SuperLaunch irons boast the highest MOI of any TaylorMade iron, ever.
The first thing you notice about Burner SuperLaunch irons is that each features a wide, multifunctional sole, which is key to establishing the low and deep CG location that makes every one of these irons so easy to get high in the air. However, each sole is strategically bevelled to reduce the degree of interaction with the turf. That means you get the low-deep CG-positioning benefits of a large sole, yet it plays like a much smaller, narrower sole.
When you rest a Burner SuperLaunch iron behind the ball you’ll notice the substantial topline, which contributes to the exceptional stability and forgiveness. Testing we’ve conducted indicates that higher handicappers take confidence in seeing a thick topline. TaylorMade cambered its rearward edge to give it a downward slant, resulting in a more dynamic appearance that makes the Burner SuperLaunch look easy to launch the ball with.
Like the Burner irons, the Burner SuperLaunch long-irons, middle-irons and short-irons were designed separately, which is clear when you see the long-irons, which boast a decidedly low-profile shape compared to the rest of the set. This shape, when combined with the wide sole and deep cavity, help make Burner SuperLaunch long-irons so much easier to launch at lower swing speeds. The low-profile shape also makes the long-irons look easy to hit, too. On the opposite end of the set, Burner SuperLaunch short-irons have a traditional face-height and profile, while the middle-irons are of medium-profile, about halfway between the traditional profile of the short-irons and low-profile of the long-irons.
Progressive face thickness throughout the set has the thinnest faces in the long-irons for higher COR, faster ball speed and better weight distribution and thicker faces in the short-irons for better feel. Inverted Cone Technology in every Burner SuperLaunch iron helps expand the area of the clubface that delivers fast ball speed to promote more distance on off-center hits.
Of course, the most important part of the Burner SuperLaunch story is how easily they launch the ball and how high they launch the ball. Slower swingers will find it a breeze to launch these irons on an extremely high flight and with the spin necessary to keep the ball in the air long enough to achieve significant added carry, and when the ball comes down it will land steeply and softly. To recap, that’s high, long flight that lands softly and stops fast – a very attractive combination to the average high handicapper, many whom of have never achieved that kind of result with their irons, ever. Now they can, with our new Burner SuperLaunch.
What kind of numbers do the Burner SuperLaunch irons promote?
At average to fast swing speeds, the 6-iron is about 4 to 5 yards shorter than the Burner, and the 4-iron is about 8 to 9 yards shorter. But remember, Burner SuperLaunch irons aren’t for that player, they’re for slower swingers who can’t launch the ball high enough or long enough with the Burner, and for erratic swingers who need maximum forgiveness. Those players are generally more likely to net more distance from Burner SuperLaunch irons than from Burner irons. Compared to our most recent super-game-improvement iron at this price point, the Burner Plus irons, Burner SuperLaunch delivers similar distance but at a higher ball speed and higher trajectory.
Regarding grooves, Burner SuperLaunch irons incorporate our new groove design, which conforms to the USGA’s new ruling on grooves that goes into effect in 2010.
Before we close here we want to make it make it clear that Burner SuperLaunch is not a replacement for the Burner, instead it will live alongside Burner, and whereas Burner is a game-improvement iron, Burner SuperLaunch is a super game-improvement iron.
One more thing: The introduction of the Burner SuperLaunch gives TaylorMade the strongest iron lineup in the game, including the R9™, R9 TP, Burner and now Burner SuperLaunch.
Meet the New Callaway Diablo Edge Family
Callaway edge technology has the unique shaping of the all titanium club heads allowed engineers to move weight in specific locations to achieve the optimal CG location and ball flights for the Draw or Neutral options with a higher MOI. It also helps close the clubface at impact so golfers can better release the club with power.
The new Callaway edge family consists of drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, and iron sets.
Designed to give golfers a distance advantage every time you tee it up. The Diablo Edge and Diablo Edge Tour Drivers offer superior face technology, a higher MOI, a deeper CG, and better aerodynamics — and it all adds up to the longest, most accurate all-titanium drivers Callaway Golf has ever made.
Diablo Edge Drivers feature two unique shapes (standard and tour), but all the same technology. Both drivers offer a 4-Piece Fused Titanium Design, a Chemically Milled Hyperbolic Face Cup and an Aerodynamic Body Shape for the longest all-titanium driver we have ever developed. The standard models feature a core Callaway technology (S2H2), which removes weight from the hosel and repositions it in the perimeter of the golf club for more stability. The Tour models have a full-length hosel, less face progression and an optimized centre of gravity that provides the look, feel and performance highly skilled golfers demand.
Callaway Diablo Edge Fairway Wood
The new Diablo Edge Fairway Woods are the longest, straightest steel fairway woods Callaway have ever made, with distance gains of 10-12 yards over Big Bertha Diablo. That’s not just better, that’s a game changer. The Diablo Edge Tour Fairways possess the lowest, shallowest CG of any steel fairway wood Callaway have ever made, providing skilled players with a club that will perform more to their liking.
The standard Diablo Edge Fairway Woods feature the deepest centre of gravity (CG) of any fairway wood Callaway has ever made for high, distance-enhancing trajectory. The Diablo Edge Tour Fairway Woods have the lowest, shallowest CG of any steel Callaway fairway woods ever made for a flat, penetrating ball flight that is preferred by better players.
A forgiving, distance-enhancing alternative to long irons. The new Diablo Edge Hybrids have been specifically designed to provide golfers with a more forgiving, distance enhancing alternative to long irons. And with both standard and Tour models, the hybrids are available in a design that will suit all player types.
The Diablo just got better. This new Diablo Edge Hybrids does give you the edge. We’ve tested these hybrids and our pros commented on how easy they are to use compared to long irons. Fantastic technology!
There are several Set compositions to choose from in the option section.
The longest stainless steel irons Callaway have ever created. The Diablo Edge irons provide increased distance without compromising feel or performance. The lower, deeper centre of gravity (CG) makes the sweet spot more accessible and is in line with where amateurs most commonly hit the ball on the clubface, generating longer, consistent distance and improved accuracy.

Boundy Claims Hong Kong Open in 1-2 Finish For Titleist Full Line Players
Titleist Ambassadors Gregory Bourdy and Rory McIlroy trust Titleist equipment from tee to green to top the leaderboard in Asia
Gregory Bourdy captured his third European Tour title at the Hong Kong Golf Club shooting a final round 3-under par 67 to hold off fellow full line Titleist player Rory McIlroy by two shots. Bourdy’s 19-under par total of 261 was enough to hold off a weekend surge from McIlroy, who fired weekend rounds of 65 and 64 to finish in second place on 17-under par. McIlroy’s third top five finish in three weeks raises him to the top of the inaugural Race to Dubai rankings going into the Dubai World Championships while Bourdy’s victory sees him climb into the top-60 of the rankings and also claim his place at the season ending event.
Bourdy trusted the superior feel of Titleist from tee to green for his victory, including the iconic Pro V1, 909D2 driver, 909F2 fairway metal, 585.H utility metal, new MB irons, Vokey Design Spin Milled sand and lob wedges and Scotty Cameron putter. As well as being the choice of the top two finishers Hong Kong, Titleist was also the most played ball with 93 players compared to 18 for the nearest competitor, and also topped the counts for irons and wedges respectively.
Among the equipment trusted by Bourdy in claiming victory was the latest iron offering from Titleist, the forged MB. Featuring classic looks and superior shot control for the highly skilled golfer, the Titleist MB irons have been designed using feedback from Titleist’s stable of Tour players, and their superior feel and workability has quickly put them into the winners circle.
McIlroy also trusted Titleist from tee to green for his runners-up finish in Hong Kong, which sees him climb to the top of the Race to Dubai rankings with just one event remaining. McIlroy’s equipment included the Pro V1x, 909D2 driver, 906F2 fairway metals, ZM irons, Vokey Design pitching wedge, Spin Milled sand and lob wedges and Scotty Cameron Studio Select Fastback putter. The precision and playability of Titleist throughout McIlroy’s bag has helped him claim eleven top-5 finishes this year including victory at the Dubai Desert Classic, as he looks to emulate fellow Titleist Ambassador Robert Karlsson who was crowned Europe’s #1 player in 2008.
An impressive victory for Titleist ambassador Gregory Bourdy takes the 2009 worldwide win count for Titleist golf balls to 146, more than five times the nearest competitor with 26 and more than all other brands combined, proving once again that the game’s elite continue to opt for the matchless performance of Titleist.
Nike Golf Athlete John Cook Wins his First Champions Tour Title in 2009 and Third Champions Tour Victory of his Career
Nike Golf athlete John Cook captured his third career Champions Tour victory at the Administaff Small Business Classic in The Woodlands, Texas after posting a final round score of four-under-par 68 to win by two strokes over fellow Nike athlete Bob Tway.
Cook hit some crucial shots coming down the stretch, including a near-perfect drive on the final hole. “On 18, I hit one of my best drives of the week,” he said. “I trusted what I was seeing.” Assisting him to victory was Cook’s Nike SQ DYMO STR8-FIT driver, which was set 1-degree up and 1-degree open. He finished the week tied for 14th in driving accuracy with an average of 80%
Using the combination of Nike’s Victory Red (VR) blade irons and Nike ONE Tour golf ball, Cook finished tied for third in greens in regulation with an average of 74%. He finished sixth in putts per greens in regulation using the Nike Method putter which already has been used by Nike athletes to win three times on the PGA Tour, including two Major championships. Paul Casey used it to win the Shell Houston Open and Lucas Glover and Stewart Cink used it to win the U.S. Open and the OPEN Championship, respectively. The Method Putter will be available in limited quantities online at www.nikestore.com beginning at 12:01 p.m. EST on Monday, November 2, 2009. The successful Method Putters will be available at retail on February 1, 2010.
Rounding out Cook’s Nike arsenal for this win are his 53- and 59-degree VR wedges. Cook was wearing Nike Golf apparel and Nike Golf Air Zoom Tour footwear for his victory.

R9 Irons – Serious performance technology in a classic player’s shape and size
There’s already a lot of excitement around TaylorMade’s new R9 irons, which have been designed to deliver modern performance and tremendous distance in a more classic package. Here we take a look at the latest TaylorMde irons.
“Whereas Burner irons deliver extraordinary distance in a modern design, the R9 irons are aimed at the technician, and so are rendered in a player’s shape with a clean and conventional look,” said Harry Arnett, TaylorMade’s senior category director of metalwoods, irons and balls. “However, a ridiculous degree of performance-enhancing technology is packaged within each oversized clubhead. The result is an iron that’s phenomenally easy to play despite its classic appearance, and extremely controllable and accurate as well.”
The new R9 long-irons and middle-irons were designed separately from the short-irons to optimise performance in each club. The result is that the 3-iron through 6-iron are extremely long and easy to hit, and the short-irons are engineered to promote great feel, control and accuracy.
Each R9 long-iron and middle-iron (3- through 6-) houses a large and fully enclosed compartment positioned behind the clubface, underneath the cavity badge, called the Velocity-Control Chamber (VCC) that makes it easier to launch the ball.
R9 short-irons are engineered to deliver increased playability, control and feel in the scoring zone, as each compact clubhead incorporates a deep undercut cavity and broad, low-CG sole that makes it easy to make solid, spin-inducing contact to get the ball in the air and stop it quickly upon landing.
The sole of every R9 iron is specially bevelled to reduce turf resistance, helping the bottom of the club glide through impact and apply maximum force to the ball.
The R9 TP irons incorporate a new groove design that conforms to the USGA and R&A ruling that comes into effect in 2010 for high-level competition.
R9 irons come equipped with KBS 90-gram steel shafts, available in S and R flexes. The R9 iron is also available in one graphite shaft model, the Fujikura Motore, in 75-grams in S flex, 65-grams in R flex and 55-grams in M flex.
The R9 Irons: Technology-Fueled Distance and Control in a Classic Shape
Each R9 iron combines high COR and high MOI, making them longer and more forgiving than their classic-looking clubhead shape implies. Thus they’re ideal for the technician who wants a powerful, easy-to-hit iron that suits his preference for a more classic-looking shape. Adding to their beauty is their nickel chrome-plated stainless steel and pearl finish, which helps make them stand out on the shelf. There’s no doubt that these irons are worthy of the name R9 and that they’ll serve as a terrific complement to the Burner irons in the marketplace.
Faldo supports the design of R9 TP Irons
The R9 TP irons have been designed with significant input from six-time Major winner Nick Faldo – a connoisseur of classic iron design. When Nick joined our Tour Staff he made it clear he wanted to be involved in our efforts to merge technology and tradition in our TP equipment. He spoke of the importance of how the clubface blends with the hosel and that “it’s love at first sight” for the player if you get that correct; he worked closely with the designers on that, as well as the overall shape and size.
Given the combination of size, shape, blade-like features and performance technology, TaylorMade are expecting tour pros to take to the R9 TP irons very quickly so hurry and get these great irons while stocks last.

Titleist Introduces New Advanced Performance Irons
Last year these were one of our best selling irons and with that in mind we thought that we would give you the lowdown on the new advanced performance irons from Titleist.
New Titleist AP1 and AP2 Irons Provide Enhanced Performance with Improved Feel
Building upon the high technology design and resounding success of the original AP irons, Titleist introduces two new high performance iron products for avid golfers. The new Titleist AP1 and AP2 are multi-material, dual cavity irons that take the design mission of “Advanced Performance You Can Feel” to new heights.
“The new AP1 and AP2 irons embody significant improvements in feel, forgiveness and shot control to what had already been recognized as a revolutionary step forward in iron design,” said Steve Pelisek, GM Titleist Golf Clubs. “The new AP1 and AP2 irons offer the most successful marriage of playability and forgiveness, and traditional looks, feel and feedback available in the market today. Along with the introduction of the new MB and CB forged irons, Titleist offers the most comprehensive range of irons to meet the needs and exceed the expectations of serious golfers.”
The concept for the original Advanced Performance irons arose as a result of research that indicated serious golfers want performance with great feel, not performance at the expense of feel. The new models retain the dual cavity design and multi-material construction that has been the key to the success of the AP irons. The new ‘Tuned Feel System’ employs new technologies and materials in the back cavity to take feel to a new level.
The new Tuned Feel System is a co-molded medallion of soft elastomer and aluminium plate. This insert has been specifically designed to improve the sound and feel of each new iron. For the thinner face, larger cavity AP1 a hotter, more lively feel has been enhanced. For the new AP2 a softer, more solid feel is achieved.
Extensive improvements to the new AP1 structure include reducing the face thickness to provide enhanced heel, toe, and deep weighting to the frame and moving the tungsten nickel material to the sole resulting in increased stability and forgiveness. Subtle refinements to the new AP2 have created performance gains in feel, sound, and turf interaction.
The new Titleist AP irons have received instantaneous approval across the worldwide professional tours. In recent weeks several players, including Zach Johnson, Nick Watney and Ben Curtis have all put the new AP2 irons in play.
The AP irons are available in both right and left hand, beginning November 1 2009. Suggested retail prices are still to be confirmed. We will have these available online with us as of the 15th December so its perfect timing for buying them for a loved one or for yourself as a Christmas treat.
