The TaylorMade Burner Irons feature Inverted Cone Technology. This technology was originally developed to expand the COR zone of TaylorMade drivers. The Inverted Cone was drilled directly in the back side of the club face resulting in drastic variations of face thickness. The end result of the Inverted Cone was more distance resulting from mishits.
The club head is increased in sized by expanding the perimeter which increases the moment-of-inertia to a higher level than any previous TaylorMade iron. A higher MOI gives the club head more resistance against rotating when it makes contact with the golf ball or ground..
The offset of the sole was increased a bit in order to make it easier to square the club face during impact. Also, the width of the sole was increased to lower the center of gravity of the club face.
A new technology, labeled SuperFast Technology was created and incorporated into the new TaylorMade Burner 2009 Irons. SuperFast Technology incorporates a higher coefficient of restitution, higher moment-of-inertia, and progressive shaft-length, progressive grips, and larger, more forgiving club faces. Combine all this and the end result is greater ball speed and forgiveness as you progress through the round.
After hitting the irons at the range the comments above become more and more true. The golf club set in golf iron set hit much longer than previous irons. Decreasing the power allowed for more consistent shots while keeping distance.
Overall the irons are great but distance control will be the major focus for people with these irons. For me, even though I can smoke the ball with my irons, the added distance gives me the confidence to lower swing speed and focus on location and backspin. again, these clubs are really great.
