I have always shied away from these irons because everyone said they are hard to hit. Well, I decided to give them a try anyway before they are forever discontinued. Just picked up my new set of 962s today. Went straight to the driving range and... WOW!!! What a great decision! What a great set of irons! Best feeling clubs I have ever hit! I was hitting a slight fade at first but was then able to straighten and draw at will. PRETTY COOL!!! Now I look forward to two pleasures when playing - striking the ball and the end result. I love the rising ball flight. What a great way to start the season!

Regular flex Dynamic Gold steel shaft. A very traditional looking set of irons with no gimmicks. The distance is average but deadly consistent. You can almost measure distance with these irons. Designed to be hit with Titleist Professional 90. The feel is just unbelievable. I don’t care where the ball lands; I’m busy relishing the vibration on my hands. Even slightly thin shots feel good in a different way. If you’re not capable of hitting beautiful high draws with these irons, don’t bother to discuss about the feel, or anything.

I have had the same clubs for probably over 10 yrs....and hit them well. None the less, I was just looking for a pair so soft spike shoes, when I saw the sale for these clubs. What the heck, I am here and will give them a test drive to see how good they are. Not knowing what to expect, they felt GREAT! And after a couple of days of thought, I broke down and purchased them. I have been out to the range with them a few times and really like the flight the ball takes when hit solid. Nice high trajectory. The distance, not to bad, but will subsequently work on that. Overall feel I was impressed with. Although it takes a bit of practice to get use to the clubs, well worth the patience. I am a strong believer that one of the only ways a person will get better is to practice, practice and practice.....I was out on the course today (New Years Day), and the shots and although I considered it a good round considering the elements and being the first time out on a course in 4 months, felt fine, the clubs felt fine and can see 2001 being a good year for golf for myself. Try these clubs, probably not for everyone, but they are for me.....and should be considered at least........but before you buy......know what kind of game you have, where you want to be...these clubs will help some.....but i would make sure you are at a certain level of your game first before you think about it.

Oh by the way....I was waiting at the store to hit some balls....there was this couple that were trying out this $500+ driver.......bad form....bad technique.......why?????.....invest in lessons first!!!!!!

Uhm... guys, I don't know where to post this, but let me clear something out. David Duval used to use the original DCI (which is very similar to 962)before the 962 series came out. I believe he had tried the 962 for a brief period of time, but he's been using 962"B" for quite a while. Compared to the difference between the legacy DCI and 962, the difference between 962 and 962B is rather significant in every way.

To begin with, if you are a higher handicap golfer, who wants to improve fast, read on. If you are a high handicap golfer not serious about improving, ignore this review. I am a 21 handicapper, and this was my first experience of irons for the 'better player'. Having read all the reviews, and realising the irons had very mixed reports, I was not sure what to expect. I'll be blunt: These irons are like butter when you find the sweet spot. In my case, surprisingly regularly. They do not feel 'harsh off the face' at all. In fact, they are like most irons: Make a bad swing, and you'll know about it. I found for the first time in my short golfing career (1 yr) that I could hit, with SOME degree of skill, the 3 and 4 irons. This shocked me. The irons are smaller headed, with less offset than I was used to, but enough for me. They have more offset than say, the Maxfli (normal) Revolution. I was able to pick these irons up very cheaply due to a golfer from USA Golf (a local shop) wanting to get rid of them. Incidentally, he's a 2 handicapper, a very fine golfer, who doesn't like offset, so go figure! They are fitted with Dynamic Gold S300 shafts (the *1 on the PGA tour, so i'll guess they should do for me ;-) ), and Titleist cord grips. Strangely enough, I hit the ball higher and further than before, which suprised me on two counts: The shaft is supposed to lead to a penetrating ball flight, and that I could hit these further...
Simply put, I can understand how Duval was able to shoot a 59 with these babies.

Now where did I put those wrap-around shades?

all the talk of harshness and lack of feel is phooey!!! these are clean looking hi-performance clubs every shot in the bag with so much feedback even after playing forged for 7 yrs finding a replacement set was a chore. shy away from this set after all the negative feedback. also being lefty limits my selection.but finally demo a 5-iron and saw the attributes you want to helped your game improve.they will be in my bag for years to come

Traded the aforementioned Powerbilt TPS 6.0's, plus $125 cash, for these clubs(used). Reviews from other good golfers were V/good and I was sick of the inconsistency of the cavity backed TPS's.

Best Golf Purchase I've ever made.

Great ball flight. Consistent length and grouping. Fade or Draw + Punch shot all consistent. What more can I say - very playable, quality clubs. My game has never been so consistent. If I hit a bad shot I know the club can't be blamed - and that eliminates a big variable.

The fact that these were Titleist tempted me to recently purchase Titleist Vokey Wedges - 54% and 58% and man, aren't they something !. Have recently also started using Titleist V1 ball. Can't fault any of them.

Great work Titleist. You've won a fan.

I freakin love these clubs. They're pretty hard to find nowadays because they don't make them anymore. I've tried the 981 and the 990s, but these are still better in my book.

It is true that you are going to get frustrated with these clubs if you have a high handicap. These clubs will not forgive bad mechanics. So for people who are attracted to it for its good looks but who have bad mechanics, unless you're ready to play in the trees or the rough, look somewhere else.

Having said that, if you're really serious about your game, try and get these clubs. Because these clubs won't let you cheat, you will know when your mechanics are wrong. And you will know when they're right. As you get better and understand your golf swing, these clubs will give you insight into your swing that other cavity backs ala callaways won't give you. Believe me, you will be a better player for it. And when you do hit these sweet, you'll know why serious players swear by these clubs.

Like I said, these clubs are pretty hard to find. But if you find them, get it. I can honestly say I'll probably never get another set of irons for the rest of my life, unless these break.
