Best round in 10 years today with my new irons! LONG POST
 

I am so stoked that I decided to buy the Burner 2.0's. Man did they perform like I was hoping.
I played a lone 9 holes this morning to get them figured out because they a radical change from my old Adams Idea A1's. I was hitting thing and shanking etc for the first few holes,then something clicked and I started swinging them the way I used to swing my old Top~Flite Tours. I had to change my swing to suit the new clubs since there is a ton less bounce and stronger lofts.
Now my driver was pathetic as usual but a guy in a cart came by and asked how I was doing and I told him. "The way I'm hitting my driver I would pay 50.00 for some help (jokingly). He introduced him self as the assistant head pro of the course and asked if he could play the last 4 holes with me and I agreed.
He took a look in bag and said nice ironshttp://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...ilies/clap.png. He teed off and blistered a 275-280 drive right down the center into a 15 mph breeze, when I was set to hit he said stop and told me to move my hands , sit down a bit on the ball. Bang a dead straight shot about 255-260. He made me hit 3 balls and it kept getting better. After our 4 holes were up he said for 50.00 he would play a full round with me and give me pointers along the way!
Well he had 2 other guys in the clubhouse join us and off we went. I had 3 very bad tee shots the entire round,most were in the short stuff and a good distance for me. The big change was when he moved my hands on my irons and showed me proper alignment. My irons became darts to the flag and were long much longer for me, I am a short hitter and my 7 was hitting about 160-165 consistently in a 15-20mph crosswind.
Low penetrating shots with a good amount of backspin to stick the greens. After a 40 on the front he said BUY A NEW PUTTER because the one you have is not balanced and it sucks (it should suck,it cost 14.00 lol). If I had hit 1/2 my putts and most were inside 10 feet he said I would have beat most players there.
I wound shooting a 38 on the back 9 and missed several putts for birds.
So all in all I shot a 78 finally kicking that 80 habit!

Congrats on the 78. Sounds like $50 well spent.

Congrats!

Great experience. Love when things just click

Very well spent indeed, nice round! You might want to click on the SeeMore banner for that new putter.

Impressive. Congratulations. That's better than I can realistically hope to ever shoot. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/banghead.gif

I already have an Odyssey White Hot Tour #5 on it's way. Found it new for 79.00 couldn't pass it up.

Grats on the round!

Congrats on the awesome round , and those Burners are fantastic !

Congratulations on your round.

Congratulations man. Thats great. Sounds like you had a great time too.

Congrats, sounds like a great day.

Congratz, keep it up!

Congrats Hotled !
I love my Burner 2.0's, so I'm not surprised you like yours.

Nice work. Sounds like a great way to have a lesson. So much could be addressed during a normal round in a setting I could relate to. Course management, tee shots, short game etc. etc.

Nice way to kick the habit, congrats on the great round

Awesome round. Sounds like the best $50 ever spent!

What a great round. Glad everything clicked and that you were able to find a pro you can trust!

Breaking 80 is awesome. Congrats man!

Thanks to all. I was so excited I slept like crap and planned on playing 2 rounds today but wifey caught me walking out this morning and said,"is the grass mowed and did you get the boards replaced on the fence?" arghhhhh!
