Great irons. I agree that the clubs are also good for mid to hi handicappers. But I would add that if you are a high handicapper, I probably need a very powerful swing to enjoy these clubs. I recently just droppped my handicap from shooting in mid 90s to shooting in mid to hi 80 days after switching from callaway x14 to dci 762 about a month ago. My game''s improvement of course is also due to improved swing. But I have yet to reach the level of preferring a disctinct "feel" of a club, but I can definitely tell that dci 762 feels more solid than my old callaway x14. The x14 tends to send the ball way too high often with a big draw or hook with my swing, which is more powerful than other amateurs (the comparision is like Tiger Woods to Ernie Els). With the heavier weight of 762, I feel that my swing is better paced and tempoed and and almost every shot flies straight, even the occanional thin shots keep rolling on the ground a 100 yards. The clubs are also longer than my x14, despite the steel shaft. If I swing really hard, the 9 iron could give me 160 yards with a beautiful drop and stop trajectory. I was never that long with my x14. The added distance gives me emornous confidence in other aspects of my game, since I know I don''t have to reach for a wood or long irons for most par 4s, and as a result, my tee shots tend to have improved as well, with increased frequency of finding the short grass. The only complaint I have about these clubs is also about is weight. Since they are heavier than other more forgiving clubs, a hour or two at driving range hitting balls could be more tiring and you will probably feel sore arms and shoulders the next morning. Another complaint is that the standard set does not have a sand wedge, so I have to use my old x14 sand wedge to get by. In the last month after I started playing with my new dci 762, my game got better and better everyday, in almost every round I played I shot a better score than the last round. For real reason or placebo effect, the new clubs undeniably play a big role in that. If you are thinking from upgrading your irons from a more forgiving type to a more serious type, try dci 762, you won''t regret it.

I''ve had these clubs for a few weeks now and love them. They are 10-15 yards longer than my previous set of irons. They have excellent feel even on mis-hits and still carry well. These are excellent irons for mid-handicappers who want a blade-like club.

Amazing!!! I cannot believe the ease by which I hit the 3 & 4 irons!!! I can get the ball up high, which I could not do with the 962s that I had been playing for years. Immediate confidence at address, and a nice weight to the swing through the impact zone. If swung gently with control, then the club will hit the ball generally mid-high and pretty damn straight. I normally play a string draw, but with these I make a little more effort into drawing the ball, as the head does tend to straighten out the ball. Excellent through the rough, as you can punch through it strongly with the stiff shaft. I think the Dynamic Gold matches well with the heads. I''m glad they didn''t use the silly plastic anti-vibration thingy in the middle of the shaft. And this is a set straight out of the factory with no adjustments. The grip is great for me as well, as I wear no gloves, and the cords give me just the right amount of traction to be able to fling the club.

I am 52...my 762''''s are fantastic. I went from mizuno forged pros with s-300 shafts to 762''''s with s-300 lite shafts. Perfect match. I''''ve added almost a club length to each iron and I can push them further if needed. Dead straight and no adjustment from standard lie.

This is one awesome set of sticks. All the reviews I had read of these irons before purchase said they were for the "low-handicapper" and the 822''s were for the "mid-high handicapper". I personally am a mid-handicapper that appreciates the old look of a an iron and I haven''t had any trouble hitting this low-handicapper club. Besides aesthetics, these are the best hitting clubs I''ve ever swung. Everything I''ve hit with these irons seems to be straighter and longer than before. I''m even hitting the 3-iron straight. The only thing I haven''t adjusted to yet is the stronger lofts on the 762''s compared to my old Tommy Armour 855''s. I''ve hit a couple home runs because of the stronger loft, but that is an easy fix. I would strongly recommend these clubs to anyone.

I have to agree with another recent reviewer who said that mid handicappers should try these. These clubs are not the most forgiving but, if you are committed they can help you contact the ball better. When I first tried them I was surprised that I could hit them well as I have tried many clubs for "better players" and they are usually a disaster for me. These felt great from the beginning. You can tell when you have hit one off-centre (and where on the club face) but it still flies in close to the right direction with 90%+ of the distance you had in mind. I found that even after one session on the driving range I had altered my swing to use 90% of the force I was previously applying and was striking the ball much better and getting more distance. Seriously I would recommend these to anyone who is prepared to work at their game but has reached a plateau with very forgiving clubs like Callaways or Ping O-size. I can now see why very consistent players like true blades, although I am not at that level yet. My previous clubs were Cobra gravity backs and it may not be a coincidence that I felt at home with these as Titleist own Cobra so there may be similarities. Incidentally I also tried the 822os, which I thought would be the ones I would like but not so. I found the 822os caused me to hit with a huge amount of draw. This may be good if you have an out-of-control slice to start with, but does not work if you already hit a small draw naturally. If you are looking for new clubs try these. I have tried everything on the market for the last year and nothing comes close. These are very special golf clubs that are worth the relatively high price tag.

I''ve been quite pleased with these, but I should note up front that they''re the first set of "nice" clubs I''ve ever owned. As described by others, they don''t penalize you too harshly for mis hits. For solid hits, the distance is great. Nice, low trajectory. Good feel. Very pleased. For what I paid, the value is definitely five star. If I had to pay retail, probably four star, like every other name club at retail prices. A final note: I read a number of reviews on various sites claiming that these weren''t for the mid-high handicapper. I disagree. I''ve had good success with these, and I''ve only been playing 2 years. Yes, I''ve had some lessons, but I''m of the opinion that learning with clubs that are "too" forgiving opens you up to problems down the road. Guess that depends on whether you''re really interested in improving, or just scoring lower in a hurry. If the former is true, don''t be shy of putting a set of these in your bag.

Great irons. Switched from the Mizuno Pro IIs to these. Not quite the feel of the Pro IIs but much more forgiving (but still styled in away to allow you to work the ball--- does not feel like your hitting the ball with a shovel) and with plenty of feedback to help improve your game.

Played the Mizuno Pro II''s and decided to switch to a more forgiving club. Wow - me likey! 762''s feel is more muted than the Mizuno, but still gives excellent feedback; less shock on miss-hits. On miss-hits the 762 still keep it online with excellent distance. Working the ball is easy and predictable. I special ordered mine built with Rifle 5.5 TFRs (graduated kick points) the short irons have a lower ball flight and the long irons are very easy to hit. 762s hit about 5 yards farther than my Mizunos and accuracy is still excellent. Not as sweet feeling as forged, but I decided that I need feel when I practice; when I play I want to score well, and not be penalized so harshly on occasional miss-hits. If I can get into the 70''s I would consider trying to hit the Mizuno''s again (the feel of a good forging is wonderful!). In short - these clubs have exceeded my performance expectations. W/enough feel, forgiveness, workability and long irons that are so easy to hit - I think these clubs will stay in my bag for a long time to come.

Decided I needed to replace my old X-12''s. After trying out a number of clubs I decided to go with the 762''s. I could not be happier. The irons are incredibly accurate and easy to hit. Stuck a 3 iron from 240 yds. to the middle of a green. Can work the ball left or right. The feel is really soft for a cast club. Love the added forgiveness. A 10+ on a scale of ten. Give them a try.

Awesome. Clubs arrived early and specs were right on.
