Taylormade R7 or Burner Tour?!?

I am two days away from purchasing either the Taylormade R7′s or Burner Tour irons. I currently have the Burner Tour Driver and love it! My driver speed is 113 MPH measured on over 20 swings so is pretty accurate. I swung the Burner Tour 7 Iron (15grams heavier shaft) on the Sports Authority simulator and was measured at 86MPH avg on 10 swings and my avg distance was 178.6 yards but was consistantly 8 yards left of pin and only 2 degress closed face. I tend to have a slight draw because I open my hips slightly more but that is preference. When I tried out the R7, I had just a slightly faster swing speed of 88MPH (15grams lighter than the tour burner shafts) and distance was exactly the same at 178.6 yards average on 10 hits. I hit the R7′s almost dead on the pin 7/10 shots and most were off-center on the club face so seemed much more forgiving. The simulator does not measure trajectory and I have never had good loft with any club and that is an issue I am hoping to correct with new irons. (Not that new irons will fix this issue but that I will work on it with the help of new irons and different swing mechanics.)

The R7′s are $399 on sale right now and the Tour Burner’s are $499 on sale right now. Is there a major difference in the two iron sets that I should be aware of that would make the $100 difference worth getting the Burner Tours? The Rep at Sports Authority said go with the R7′s because they are cheaper and should help with getting more loft. I want to use these irons for a while and make sure I am buying something to grow into for a couple years. (I am a mid 80′s player with great distance but horrible short game). Anyone have an opinion on these two? Why one is better or worse? Thanks for the help!

One other thing…when I tried the 4 irons, I hit them both pretty scattered as I usually do with 4 irons…all around 220 yards but 20 yards on either side of the pin. But when I switched to the pitching wedge, I hit the burner pretty much 10 yards left of the pin every shot. The R7 I seemed to draw every single shot 20 yards left of the pin and 10degrees closed face. This may have been because I was tired of 120 strokes in the simulator but is there something different in the short irons in the R7′s vs the longer irons?

What clubs are better, KZG ZO Forged, TaylorMade rac mb tp, or TaylorMade 2009 Tour Preffered?

in case this helps, my driver club head speed is 105-110, and my swing is kinda like sergio garcias swing, but with not as muh rerouting at the top

When i hit my taylormade tour burner at the range. I couldent ever hit it good. Is it the rubber tees? or what?

Is it the rubber tees not being high enough for the driver or is it somthing else?

Taylormade drivers/fairway woods – Which is best for a fast swing speed… burner high launch or tour?

I went to Roger Dunn to get fitted for clubs. He told me that I have a 105-115 swing speed and I can normally hit a 7 iron around 155. The person put me in TM Burner Plus irons, Burner 2008 Fairway Woods, and 2009 Burner driver. All of the clubs are stiff flex. Ive been looking to replace my 4 iron with a 4 hybrid and I was looking at TM website and it was stating that all of the drivers and woods are for slow swing speeds. Should I upgrade to a “tour” series or go to R9 series since its for faster swing speeds? tyvm for your time.

Is there any difference if you buy a Taylormade tour burner bent 2* open and a Taylormade tour burner TP?

I know it is possible to bend drivers I wanna know if there is a difference other than the shafts in these drivers,

My second question is where can you go to get your driver bent, I know if you want your irons bent you can send them to the company

ie I sent my Titleist irons to Titleist

but do you think TaylorMade would do it b/c it is so similar to their more expensive TP version.

i’m buying a new driver…i was thinking either callaway x460 tour or taylormade?
