Solid club. I have been using x-14 pro series and the 762s are Great. I have tried almost everything out there and these are by far my favorite. Customer Service Not required at this point Similar Products Used: x-14 pro series, ping blade, ping O, Mizuno MX20 |

Titleist 762
Part 2 of my earlier review... I absolutely LOVE these clubs. I went out today and shot an 84. Hit 7 Greens, Made absolutely no putts...But the Clubs were fantastic. I couldnt belive how long they were, and how straight they were. On average I was hitting them 15 yards longer than my old clubs. It was about a 2 club difference. Before I would hit a 9-iron 130, and now I can hit it all of 150. That is throughout the whole set. I know that If I had gone to the range first that I would have hit nearly all the greens, because the only reason I missed was because of yardage. I had a couple of bad shots from not wanting to dirty my nice new clubs, But that wont last for long. With the confidence that I have in these sticks, and with a few more rounds to get them dialed in, I know that I will be a single digit handicap before this season is over. I didnt think that these clubs would make that much of a difference, but it is night and day. Even some of my skull shots went the correct yardage and straight too, so that I was left with a 10ft putt for birdy. Now all I need is to buy a Titleist 762 putter and I will be all set. But here is the warning.....If you buy these clubs be very prepared to have to buy a gap wedge....because you are gonna need it for those yardages between 140(PW) and 110(SW) out. The absolute best $600 I have ever spent on my golf game. If only they had higher ratings than 5... |

These are absolutely unreal clubs. I have hit quite a range of clubs in the pursuit of finding the right ones. I finally settled on the 762''s. On the simulator they were by a good deal the straightest, as well as the most consistent. They were also among the longest that I hit. I gained at least 10 yards over my old clubs. They have excellent feel and are just a dream to hit. Even with range balls. Cant wait to get them out on the course and see how they do. But if they are half the club I think they are I wont be shooting in the 80''s much longer. I compared these to the 822OS, Mizuno MP-20, Comp-EZ, Pro, Pro-II (I am a big mizuno fan), The Adams Tight-lies, TA-5''s, Ping I3, and the Maxfli Revolutions. Out of all these it finally came down to the Revolutions, or the 762''s. I decided to bite the bullet and spend the extra bit of money and get the Titleist''s....Glad I did |

DCI 762 / DGS300
I am playing really well right now ( for me ) and wanted to move to an iron that would give me more shot options and feedback. I currently play Powerbilt TPS 6.0 irons and love them. So I figured I would test other irons head to head with the Powerbilts. Along with Powerbilt I tried hitting 3 other very popular vendors 6 irons - Ping I3 Blade''s, Mizuno MP33''s, and the DCI 762''s. I went through a couple buckets alternating the irons. I expected up front that I would not notice a big enough difference from the Powerbilt''s to justify a purchase. I also expected that it would be easier to hit the game improvement style Powerbilts over the others. I hit from all kinds of lie''s with each club, trying a variety of shots. The results were that the DCI''s were MUCH easier to hit, felt as sweet as the MP33''s, were forgiving with feedback, and had an explosive distance. I tried each club over and over, without bias... convinced up front that at a minimum the Powerbilts would compete, because I''ve been playing well with them. But the DCI''s kept giving me more and more confidence each time I setup to hit. While the MP33''s when hit well were a pleasure, any missed hits would zap you. After a while I felt uneasy taking the club back. With the DCI''s the missed hits were felt, and you need that to play better, but it wasn''t as harsh. The Pings felt great but hit it much shorter than the others. I can''t explain why. The Powerbilts continued to feel great, but missed hits were not felt as much, and they were not as easy to hit as the DCI''s. I''ll be getting the DCI''s today ( I hope). Best of luck to you...

DCI 762
I felt it was time to "move up" from a game improvement club to something better. I chose the DCI 762 primarily because of its excellent balance - it really lets you know where the club head is at all times. This club demands it be swung, not hit; just allow the club head to release through the ball and the result is a beautiful mid/low ball flight and surprising distance. It sets up well, and looks like a real players club. The feedback is quite good: it rewards a solid shot, but it definitely let''s you know when you miss. With DG 300S shaft and full cord grip, this club reinforce the fact you''re playing a real golf club. It''s easy to work the ball because the excellent balance lets you know where the club head is in the swing. Contrast that with a "game improvement" club where almost every shot feels the same. When hit well, the DCI 762 makes you feel like a golfer, yet provides some forgiveness when you not at your best. It''s a decent value, given that Titleist is a premium priced product. Find a deal as I did and the value for the money is excellent. Similar Products Used: Callaway X-14, Mizuno Comp EZ |

Titleist 762/ Dynamic Gold S300
It''s really great to have Titleist clubs back in my bag (I played 962Bs back about seven years ago). I think that the new 762s are a superb club. They combine the very best of the 990s with the older DCI 962s. They provide sufficient forgiveness, but a softer forged feel -- probably as a result of the cavity technology and thin face. I find it really important to feel the appropriate clubhead weight throughout the swing and with these irons that feel is perfect for me. They set up beautifully at address with a thinner topline and just enough offset to allow for workability along with accuracy. Titleist has managed to craft a "players" club, but one that can be played by both low and mid-handicappers. This club is a winner for Titleist.
