looks fantastic, plays even sweeter if at all possible. i had mine custom ordered with flighted rifles & 1/2" over. the ball goes off the face soft. i switched from graphites because my pro said i needed something heavier and true enough, i'm hitting better & am now able to work the ball easily (more right-left than left-right though). with the extra 1/2" & midsize grips, i've also added more distance. funny thing - the added weight has made my swing more stable. it's an easy club to hit, so easy i ordered a 2-iron as well. where i used to whack my titlesit 822os 7-iron 145yds, i now hit the 690.cb 7-iron to 165yds. the pw was 105-115yds, it is now 125-140yds. have i mentioned how beautiful these clubs look? they set up well, and makes you feel like you are a much better golfer than you are.

AWESOME clubs, really soft and penetrating trajectory. I used to have callaway x-14, they're huge, it was like hitting a ball with a chunk of steel. But with 690.cb it's the greatest feeling ever. It gives you a great feedback, easy to shape. I got the r300 shaft, it's a bit lighter than s300. It's not that forgiving I should say, but if you want to play real golf, you should've got theese clubs. Customer Service Never dealt with.

When i purchased the titleist 690.cb i thought that they would be inconsistant and not very forgiving, but they were suprisingly east to hit. On off center shots the ball still went for miles and felt pure. Even though it is not a true blade it can still shape the ball well and with ease. i would recommend this club for the lower handicapper who wants extra feel and distance without sacrificing forgivness. Another quality with this club is its appearance at address. It is slick and stylish. |

I really like the looks of the 690 CB. So when I friend of mine gave them a try I was eager to hit them. But what a disappointment, these irons hit like bricks! Are the really forged, cause if so, Titleist should go to Mizuno the learn about real forging. The feel if rock-like and the sound is just horrible. Afer a couple of shots I tried my own Mizuno MP-33 to see if I wasn't hitting solidly, but my MP-33 felt like butter, right from the start. And the MP-33 are a lot less expensive. I rest my case.

Went on a hunting spree for new blades after dropping my handicap with Cleveland TA7s. Although not "true" blades, these give you the same feedback, along with incredible feel. Played the Wilson staffs, tried the Mizunos (also great), and owned the 690.mb for a while, and although I loved those too, but these just gave me a little more confidence with no loss in shot shaping ability. The search is over. Finally. Very highly recommend. Customer Service not used. Similar Products Used: Cleveland TA7, Wilson FG-17, '76 Tour Blade (also Wilson),690.mb. |

Impressive. Surprisingly easy to hit. They are long and straight. I am using Titleist 762 and tried a demo set of 690.CB last night. I hit the 690.CB actually 1/2 to 1 club longer than 762, and they felt much better. Man, I have to get a set of these. |

Fantastic set of forged irons. Played Ping I3 Blades for 3 years but knew that something was missing. These irons have so much feel to them and are also long throughout the set, also include a bit of forgivness from the small cavity back. The real plus with these is in the strike though, the sole of the club cuts through the turf like a knife through butter, there is no snagging or resistance. If you can find a better set of short irons (8-P.W) to fire at the green I would be surprised. If you are around the 12 or less handicap mark get a set of these they are awesome, they will make you a better golfer. Customer Service Superb Similar Products Used: Ping I.3 Blades. |

These irons are sweet!!! Never thought forged irons would be as easy as these are to hit. Titleist got it right on this revision. I find them as easy to hit as the Callaway x-16's I have been using for the past 6 months, but the 690.cb's are deadly accurate. Even mis-hits seem to want to go straight. The x-16's are in the closet now. Customer Service n/a Similar Products Used: callaway pro series x-14 & 16, taylor made rac lt |

Beautiful looking clubs! The look when I stand over them is great, not some thick, oversized hunk of metal. Feedback is wonderful with these, purely hit shots feel amazing. Poorly struck shots still travel relatively well, and you feel it as well. Lie might be stronger than normal, as I have picked up at least 10-15 yards on my wedge and nine iron, but I'm not complaining! Customer Service none needed Similar Products Used: Ping |

hit a effortless 3 iron 210 yds. today...never done that before and still not sure how I did it..but felt smooth as silk and no better feeling to see that wonderful trajectory land on the green 20 feet from the pin...Shakespeare himself could not adequately describe the feeling |
