Titleist Forged 695MB Irons

Titleist Forged 695MB Irons 

DESCRIPTION

The Forged 695MB™ irons feature a unique Z-Muscle design that removes weight from the heel area of the club. This shifts the center of gravity closer to the face center for a solid feel, more efficient energy transfer and consistent launch conditions.

Standard Spec. with DG S300 shaft. Bounce, sole width etc wise, it's designed for workability; so better players will like this for the sense of control. The clubhead feels comfortable at set up. So I'll just lighlight the key differences.

This club is easier to hit as compared to 690MB, possibly due to the placement of the 'muscle' towards the toe and heel, plus lower mass at the centre of the club face.

I must say that the club had lost a little workability as compared to 690MB, again due to the placement of the 'muscle'. Same control over ball height, but less control over the lateral direction. Of course, all these contributes to a little bit more forgivingness.

Using the same shaft, the feel is softer in the Mizuno MP-60, 695MB has more intensed feedback. Most people will prefer the Mizuno. MP-60 is more balanced feel in term of workability. but I feel that Mp-60's club head is a little on the light side to my preference.

I've been hitting the 695MBs for about 3 weeks now and they are an excellent set of clubs for a low handicapper. They probably would not be well suited for anyone over a 6 or 7 handicap. A couple of years I had Mizuno MP33s and although I liked them very much I decided to sell them to buy the MP30s when they came out. The MP30s are also great clubs but I lost that extra feel and workability that I once had with a true set of blades. With that said, I narrowed my extensive search for a new set of blades down to the Mizuno MP37s and the Titleist 695MBs. Both are fantastic sets of irons but I chose the 695s because they looked a little more appealing at address and the ball flight was flatter. They have a slightly thinner top line and a longer face than the MP37s. The ball flight is exactly what I was looking for. The ball gets up and then flattens out. I'm able to hit both high and low shots and fading and drawing the ball is much easier than it was with my MP30s. In fact, it was next to impossible for me to fade the MP30s. The feel of a well struck shot is heaven, as it is with any blade. I would say that the Mizunos have a slight edge when it comes to that buttery feel. On a poorly struck shot, you can expect to loose 10 or 15 yards pretty easily. Like I said earlier though. These are not clubs for a high or even mid handicapper. You have to hit the sweetspot or your shot will suffer. Another feature that swayed my decision was the fact that Titleist engineered the club so that the sweetspot would be more in the middle of the clubface vs towards the heel like so many other blades on the market. One last remark regarding the lofts. At first, I was concerned since the lofts on the 695s are 1 degree weaker than the MP30s and the MP37s. I found that with the 695s it doesn't really matter. I'm still getting the same distance, maybe even more than what I was with the MP30s. I think it may have to do with the higher center of gravity and lighter clubhead weight on the 695s. All in all, I highly reccommend the Titleist 695s to a good player looking for a great looking, very workable set of blades.

I was an assistant pro for 5 years and the Titleist customer service dept. was excellent. If you have a question or problem, they will direct you to someone who knows what they are talking about.

Having played several rounds now with the 695's, I can honestly say they are some of the best irons I have ever used. This is not to say they are the most forgiving clubs. However, if you have a decent swing, they are long and have a nice ball flight. I had been using the Titleist 680's (nice clubs too!). However, the 695's appear to be a bit more forgiving and have a bit more distance to them. When hit correctly, these clubs will bring a great smile to your face. Got mine from eBay for $700.00 (new).
