Lofts compared
- Burner LCG
- Firesole
What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the Burner LCG is 33° and the Firesole is 33°, identical at the club most golfers compare on, although other clubs in the sets differ. Across the 10 clubs both sets share, the differences roughly cancel out, with the largest gap at the 3-iron (21° vs 20.5°). Beyond loft, the Burner LCG 7-iron is 0.5 inches longer (37" vs 36.5").
The sets are built differently: the Burner LCG runs 2-iron to LW (12 clubs), the Firesole 3-iron to SW (10 clubs).
Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Perimeter-weighted cavity backs with wider soles, more offset and stronger lofts, aimed at mid handicaps. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
The Burner LCG is listed as investment cast and the Firesole as multi-material cast. The Firesole adds tungsten weighting, which lowers the centre of gravity and raises stability on mis-hits, helping the long irons launch.
The Firesole arrived 2 years after the Burner LCG, a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept.
Which should you choose?
The Firesole is the stronger-lofted set — up to 0.5° stronger than the Burner LCG on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.

Frequently asked questions
Is the TaylorMade Burner LCG stronger lofted than the Firesole?
Not at the 7-iron, where both are 33°. Other clubs in the sets differ, so compare the full table above.
What is the loft difference between the TaylorMade Burner LCG and Firesole?
At the 7-iron the difference is 0° (33° vs 33°). The largest gap on a shared club is 0.5° at the 3-iron, and 4 of the 10 shared clubs differ.
Are the TaylorMade Burner LCG and Firesole aimed at the same golfer?
Yes. Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.
Do the TaylorMade Burner LCG and Firesole have the same lie and length?
Not exactly. At the 7-iron the TaylorMade Burner LCG is 62.5° lie and 37 inches, the Firesole 62.5° and 36.5 inches. Both can be bent or built to your own fit.
