taylormade 2.0 burner v titleist ap2 710

I agree pretty much with MacAddy, though would use 'should' (or 'can') rather than 'will'. The Burners look and feel very much like the original Big Berthas to me. Haven't hit the AP2s but these are meant to be more 'Players clubs with forgiveness', and are also forged as opposed to the Burners being cast.

Bending forged clubs (with leverage) is significantly easier/safer than bending cast ones (normally a wollop with a rubber hammer). 2* isn't a huge amount to adjust, so should be Ok.

Yes, too flat can give you problems but it's quite possible that it can 'help' with your swing as your brain/hands can be pretty good at adjusting (definitely not going to say 'will' there!). As long as all the clubs are set up the same (2* flat), then a slighter flatter swing would compensate for the lie. That may or may not be a good thing!

If you are contemplating swing changes, then different lie angles are a bit of a red herring - speak to your Pro about what he plans (good idea to do that anyway - he may just be planning on taking money off you!). Some fitters don't use dynamic (swung) fitting if swing changes are planned - merely measuring (static) as the changes can affect the lie requirement significantly.

Having said all that, I'm going to go into 'girlie' mode and say I like the look of the AP2s better. I'm not keen on colours on irons and prefer slim looking clubs. When I saw he width of the sole of my mate's G10 PW (and that was 2* upright) I thought 'how the hell can I hit that'. Of course the answer was 'bloody easily and a long way!' and the Burners are the same. So if you want/need confidence at address(the equivalent of 'how can I miss') then the Burners will do that. If you are already a good ball-striker and want feedback, then the AP2s will do that better but be prepared to lose some yardage with the slight miss-hits.
