I've been playing my 735 CM stainless steel S300 for 3 weeks. They are great...Let me be more specific. I'm a 10-12 handicap and I don't have any difficulty in consistantly hitting these irons, but I would not recommend these to 18-25 handicap unless you are willing to put the time in at the range. If you are by all means get them, but if you play 5 times per year go with a more cavity back club. The feel is great..Instant feed back on where you hit it solid or not. Great for practice. I was playing a old set of DCI black circa 1992.

Was playing DCI golds for years and not improving, decided it was time to move up. Went to a demo day(June 06) and the last club I expected to be comfortable with was these. Gained a club length and accuracy as long as I did my part. They are fitted with Nippon shafts, std length and lie. Now, a year later, I can't tell you how pleased I am. It was a tough learning curve, they really make you pay attention to your swing, but the rewards are great. This year, I have focused on shortening my backswing and swinging easier(advice from our pro), and have picked up another club length, and more accuracy.(6-iron-165-170 yds). Love the 3&4 irons, but my favorites are the 8-9-P blades. I guess the advice to shorten and slow my swing for more predictable and consistant contact probably would have done the trick, but I am giving most of the credit to the clubs, they made me do it. Did not care for the cord grip, had tour velvets installed.

I'm currently playing off 11 and am working hard to get as close to scratch as poss by the end of this year. I was playing cobra irons and needed to upgrade to help me reach my goal. I read up reviews on many different irons and tested the mizuno mp32 along with these and have to say that even before i hit them both the snob in me preferred the titleist. I genuinely felt more comfortable with the 735 and being the first time i'v used blades (8,9,pw)i noticed a great deal more feel. these clubs are made for great golfers who hit the ball clean every time and when i get an off centre hit my hands sting like crazy and the ball goes nowhere. I would say these clubs are for sub 6handicappers or those of you who (like myself) want to feel when they have hit a good or bad shot to help the learning curve rather than feel the same thing every shot like most cavitys. The lower irons are much more forgiving, the finish is great on the clubs, and not a bad price for such quality. Regarding the previous reviewers comparisons on GIR - i would have to say it is prob harder for the average golfer to hit more GIR as a pure strike will carry longer with (for example) a 8i while an off centre will fall short. With "game improvement" clubs a 7iron hit either clean or off centre will land on/near a green every time. The way i see it these clubs will help teach me to hit every ball clean.

Not had to use it but would expect it to be better than most manufacturers. Custom order of the clubs took 6 days to arrive at my house!

I play the Titleist 905r driver, the 904f 3 wood, 19 degree 503 hybrid iron, 54 and 58 vokey wedges and love them all. After reading several reviews on the 735.cm irons, I decided I would sell my Mizuno MP 32s, and get the 735.cm irons. What a mistake, I practice at least 3 days a week on irons, my clubs get a stain the size of a quarter in the center of the face after hitting 40-50 balls to a target. Unfortunately with these irons you need to hit about the size of a penny to get consistent distance, I'm not that good yet. I will say the 3 and 4 irons gave good results, also a pure shot just feels great with these clubs, but 1 groove thin in 50 degree weather bites a little. If you are a person who hits 90 percent of your iron shots pure, you will love these. If not try MP32s, or for a great value the King Cobra 2300I/M irons. I swapped for a set of the cobras and am back to hitting 13-15 GIR's. Don't have near the feel of a titleist iron, but can't argue with a 73 on the card versus an 82!!! Maybe next year Titleist will make an iron i can hit!!!!!

Im 78" tall and for years had only used clubs with standard lie/lengths,until hearing stories of other guys getting fit (for free) at the local driving range. i was in the market and never thought i was a "titleist man" so when i went for my playability fitting, i hit probably 15 makers and clubs. Some I had the idea of buying, almost to the point of having blinders, before any swinging started. all the hype and sweet gadgets quickly faded as one ofthe lowest priced and highest became my favorite. the instructor told me i want to find a "wow" club. i was actually thinking at that point of just forgetting the news and getting the old fit for me when he said he really thinks i could use a more advanced club. I hit the 735cm, "wow" crisp, just the most amazing feeling of feedback. ive played approx. 30 rounds with my new clubs and to this day i havent sliced, ballooned, or any of the other foul results. this may be completely from the sizing but the club is probably the best thing to happaen to my game, honestly a joy to hit irons from the tee. I actually picked up approx. a club and a half in distance. accurate beyond my wildest dream. most mishots today are alignment issues. great club all around. thank you!

I decided to write a second review after playing these clubs for a few months. I bought them in late july and played a considerable amount since then, and in short, these clubs are amazing! I normally have been shooting in the mid to upper 80's, but since buying these clubs things have changed. After about the first 3 rounds, I shot three consecutive rounds in the 70's and then another 3 rounds of 80. Since then I have averaged around the low 80's. These irons are deadly accurate, my shots are much less spread out, and I hit more greens. Hitting into a wind has never been better as the trajectory of these irons is much more controlled and flat, mis-hits are forgiving but the feedback is immediate which improves your game. Short irons are wicked accurate and long irons do their job of being forgiving, but again the flight is well controlled. Anyone thinking of these irons shouldn't think twice. Phenomenal!!

Well it’s been 6 months since my last post, and over a year and a half of owning them. These clubs continue to work really well as my swing continues to progress. One of the more positive things in my purchase of these is that I have not “outgrown” them like I have with previous sets. As designed by the makers at Titleist the low irons are made with a full cavity back making them fairly “easy” to hit, the mid-irons continue the trend with a mid-cavity design which will allow you work the ball more but with a fair amount of fogiveability. The scoring irons 8-PW (which are my favorite clubs in the set),are given a full muscle back to which you can really feel the ball at impact. Knock downs, cuts, fades and draws are much more easy to do with these clubs throughout the set than most other big name clubs out there. My belief in that though process, is that because there is no compromise with any of the clubs in their design as you make your way throughout the set, the shots you want to manufacture are made all the more easier. I suppose that if there was one bad thing (IMHO), about this design is that because each iron is “progressed” the feel that comes when you make a good stroke is different. For instance a well “flushed” hit from the full cavity backed 5 iron is totally different from that of a flushed 8 iron which is a full muscle back. I’ve tried other players “players clubs” to see if there was a difference in feel between clubs throughout their sets and to me each club felt very similar even between the lower and higher irons. I could just be imagining it, maybe for those of you who have owned them for awhile have noticed the same thing. While to me not a major problem, the “draw-back” in the different feel from each progressed club is far outweighed by the ease of use in each club because of their unique design.
As with all things golf, a good fitting, lot’s of practice and proper instruction will do more to lower your handicap than simply changing your sticks. While I have not been able to get into the low single digits for my handicap as I had hoped I have been able to legitimately take off 5 strokes of my starting handicap to a solid 7 from the tips at my home course. I play in Southern California were it is very competitive and through the confidence that these clubs have given me I’ve placed in the top three in the A-flight in my men’s league several times and capped off the year with a win at our annual Club Championship. I suppose that if I had to get another set tomorrow I’d look to the Titleist 695CB’s. Hmmmmm. When’s my Birthday????

I've been trying out all the new players clubs for 2007.Nike, Mizuno, Taylormade,Cleveland,Ping. They all offer great clubs but I've yet to find another set that offers the same great feel through design that the 735CM's give.

Looking for some advice on these clubs. Am currently playing the same set of Titleist tour blades I got in 1986 and have been getting an earful about how much better clubs have become. I've spent about 3 hours at Golf Galaxy hitting various clubs, and some Mizunos and the Titleist 735s were the clear leaders. It was pretty obvious that the newer clubs are more forgiving than my old blades. While it's tempting to try some of the "game improvement" clubs, I've been struck by the number of comments about how they can actually hurt your swing because they're too forgiving. Seeing as how my current clubs are about as unforgiving as you can get (Maltby Playability Score is 136!), I think anything would be an improvement.

Here's my question....what clubs do people recommend for a single digit handicapper curently hitting 20-year old blades that wants to take advantage of what is clearly a huge leap in technology?

Thanks!

I have played ping eye's for the last 15 years. It took me forever to make the jump to a more blade style club. I was almost convinced to go with pings again, but every time I had seen the 735's and hit them they just felt so sweet. So I bought them and have played roughly 10 rounds with them, I still hit poor shots at times, but I am so much more accurate. I will say I am still struggling with distance. If I don't pure it but hit a decent shot I'm a club short, if I club up and stiff it I'm a club over. That will come in time and I hop to be in single digets by April.

I had played with a set of 1981 Titleist tour blades since 1985. I'm a 6-8 handicap, but I was continuously costing myself strokes with the blades. I needed to find something that was more foregiving, but would still give me the feedback that I been used to for 20 years.

After hitting all the big name clubs, I narrowed my choice down to the Mizuno MP-32 and the Titleist 735 CM's.

I found the 735's were more foregiving in the long irons than the MP-32's; yet, they felt like hitting a blade on the sweet spot. In addition, you can work the ball if you like to shape shots.

The mid cavity back 5-7 irons in the 735's have decent feel, but can't compare the the soft feel of the Mizuno's IMO. Also, I personally couldn't determine if they were more foregiving than the MP-32's as well. Once again, the mid-cavity's were workable like the 3 and 4 iron.

Finally, the blades (8-PW) I have found to be as forgiving and have the same feel as the Mizuno's.

After all of the comparison, I finally chose the 735's because of the foregivness in the long irons while not losing the feedback or workability. These are fantastic clubs and I would recommend them to anyone that wants the feel of a blade with more foregiveness in the long irons.

Now if I could just chip and putt...
