TM Burner Forged vs the PING Anser Forged


Golfware

Recommended Posts

Holy smokes. Just can't decide which two of these beauties is the best looking. If only TM would release the Burner Forged in Japan!! Well thankfully Callaway finally release the Diablo Forged to us!! Yahoo! 2010 will be the year of the Forged iron!

Current bag: Some Callaway, some Cleveland. Down to 2 OEM's!

For me I would need to hit both before I make a decision, but if we're going on just looks I would have to say TM.

Yeah. Me too. Man. The Burner Forged look slick. Too bad they're an ARM and A LEG!

I'm just wonderin to whom will Ping let their forged irons be made?

 

I think it look pretty sleek, and if you got one, for sure, your one of the few who have that.

Just wait 90 days after they come out with Burner Forged Plus, Burner Forged Limited, Burner Forged TP and Burner Forged Black. Then they will be half price.

This was discussed in the Anser Forged thread. Everyone is hoping they will be done in one of the forging houses in Japan, but more than likely they will come out of China since that is where their heads are manufactured today.

 

BTW, I'm partial to Ping due to their fitting program and customer service. So Anser Forged all the way!!!

True....TM has been the king of that marketing strategy -- and it keeps me from buying any of their stuff.

Not a fan of the TM. Although the have the internal badge of the 09 Burner, the sole is very Burner XD. I believe that this is a mistake. Someone who is shelling out the money for a forget set, will prefer the clean lines of Ping.

I don't know how you can say CLEAN LINES of Ping when they have a GIANT NUB on the back of the CB? JMO

also its the first forged iron so i'd wait on giving this the thumbs up as the best forged cb. We haven't even seen in hand yet or for that matter ever hit a forged Ping iron so i'll keep my judgement until DEMO day!

Its not a NUB, its a PORT. All that makes all the difference in the world.

don't get all upset.... just looks like he prefers TM over Ping just like you prefer Ping over TM . Me personally I would rather hit something before I say one's better then the other. There's no real reason for any of us to be loyal to any certain brand unless their paying you!

I was being a Smarta$$. I agree with you - for a forged iron, it's not very clean. But as a Ping loyalist, I'm not even sure what clean is when it comes to irons. B)

I'm not upset. I was just merely asking him to elaborate. Yes, I prefer Ping but I took the time to share reasons why I like Ping.

I'm sorry as that's one of the hard things with conversations online, you never can tell for sure if someones being facetious. It's really tough to understand the emotion behind the comment and if one is just playing or joking so Pleas don't think I'm picking on anyone at all. I just don't get it when people rip other OEM's when pretty much their all pretty good and it's all just opinions, As we can see from week to week on the PGA Tour these guys can play with any OEM and be successful.

As far as my comment NUB like you say I was being a smarta$$ as well, I'm sure it's the same as TM's Inverted Cone Technology . It all serves some purpose.

It's quite simple: I've had good experience with Taylor Made clubs, and not so good experiences with Ping. I like how Taylor Made pushes the envelope with technology, while Ping seems content to make each club just a tiny but different than the last. I'm not saying that is bad, just not what I prefer.
