“Marketed as the highest-MOI TaylorMade iron ever, with an ultra-large head and deep cavity for max forgiveness and easy, high flight. Weaker/higher-launching lofts than the Burner 2.0: this one prioritizes getting the ball up over raw distance.”
Burner SuperLaunch was TaylorMade's 2010 answer for golfers who simply could not get the ball airborne: a low-profile head over a wide, multifunctional sole engineered to push CG as low and deep as the shape allowed, beveled at the leading edge so the wide sole wouldn't dig or add unwanted bounce through turf. TaylorMade marketed it as having the highest moment of inertia of any iron it had built, and reviewers largely agreed it launched higher and easier than the standard Burner line released alongside it. Progressive face thickness thinned the long-iron faces for extra ball speed while thickening the short irons for better feel and control -- a now-standard GI-iron trick TaylorMade was still refining at the time.
A one-year niche variant of the mainstream 2010 Burner iron family, sold specifically to the slowest-swinging, hardest-to-launch segment of golfers, then quietly discontinued. There is no tour pedigree, no forum mythology, and no scarcity driving demand -- it shows up in the same used bins as any other superseded TaylorMade game-improvement set. Its one durable claim, TaylorMade's own 'highest MOI iron ever' marketing line at launch, is a specific engineering fact worth recording, not evidence of a cult following.
High handicappers and slower-swing-speed golfers, particularly those who struggle to get any iron airborne -- the exact audience TaylorMade targeted. Better players or anyone wanting to shape shots or a compact look should skip it; the wide sole and bulky profile trade all appeal to feel players for maximum ease of launch.
Released alongside TaylorMade's standard 2010 Burner irons, effectively as the max-forgiveness flanker in the same family, and it competed against Callaway's Big Bertha Diablo and Ping's G15 irons of the same year. It fed directly into TaylorMade's later RocketBallz and SpeedBlade super-game-improvement lines. A modern equivalent is the TaylorMade Stealth HD or Qi HL, which chase the same easy-launch brief with hollow-body, multi-material construction.
About as forgiving as a 2010-era iron got: TaylorMade's own claim of highest-MOI-ever for the brand is backed by the wide, deep-CG sole and progressive face design, and independent testers rated it highly for forgiveness even while noting middling shot dispersion versus more compact GI irons. It is purpose-built for slow swing speeds and chronic low-flight strugglers, at real cost to workability and a clean address look.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Complete sets commonly sell for roughly $70-140 in 2026 depending on shaft (graphite commands a little more from slower-swing buyers) and condition; it is a superseded, mass-produced GI set with no collector premium, valued purely for how easy it still is to launch.
Reading is one thing — hitting is another. Book a bay and see the numbers for yourself before you buy anywhere.
