I just bought a set of these on ebay for $400, took them to the range and couldn't wait to write this review. These are absolutely the best irons I have ever played with. Mine are fitted with the Titleist Nippon steel shaft in X-flex. These are not difficult to hit and as a matter of fact track straighter than any club I've played. Don't know if they will feel this way for everyone but these are definitely staying in my bag for a long time to come. There is plenty of feedback when you miss but you are not terribly penalized in distance. Just can't say enough about these.

Let me start out by saying I've played two versions of the 704CB's: one with Rifle 6.0 shafts and one with Dynamic Gold S300's. I was lucky enough to find a few affordable sets on eBay and took advantage of the pricing. The clubs are probably the easiest irons I've ever hit, the most consistant, and the forged construction makes them extremely soft and buttery feelwise. The weighting is absolutely perfect. The 6.0 trajectories were a slight bit higher than my current set - which are the S300's. The accuracy is unbelievable with these things. I have played pretty much everything out there, and though these irons are probably not considered "game improvement" clubs by most, they are right up there with the best of them in terms of forgiveness. I am a 13.6, so there are times when I pay homage to this aspect - especially late in the round. One thing to note, you should consider getting iron covers for these, because they'll nick up in your bag due to the softness of the heads. If you play 762's, these are a great upgrade. The majority of the time, I can shape shots left, right, high, low so they are also quite workable. When I miss, it's me, definately not the club. On off center hits, you don't loose too much yardage, and you'll know by the feedback, but not to the extent where you need to go back to the dentist to replace loose fillings. Performance 100% on these babies - they'll be in my bag a long time. Excellent work Titleist !!

First set I had arrived with regular flex shafts, bent 2' flat, and 1/2" over. The CC that sold them to me sent them back to Titleist to install Rifle 6.0's and set back to std length/lie. Titleist did the work and I had the irons in a week. No problems at all.

First, when you look down at these irons they are as easy to line up as anything that I have ever used. I have mine with stiff Aldila graphite shafts. The top line is thin, yet promotes proper aiming. Hitting the clubs is like hitting butter because they are that sweet. They hit very softly. More than any other iron that I have every used, they give you enormous feedback while being forgiving and workable. Forged clubs have that advantage. Fades, draws, high and low shots are where these clubs excel if that is what you want to do. They are easy to work. These are the most accurate irons I have ever used including other forged clubs. They are lasers to the target both in aim and distance control. In terms of length they are a strong as any club with the same degree of loft for the same club. As you probably know, some manufacturers make some lofts stronger for the same iron (some 5 irons may be 26 degrees rather than 28 degrees) so some clubs may be appear to be a tad longer. Degree for degree they are right up there. Distance is not an issue. The trajectory of the approach wedge to the eight iron is medium-high. When you hit the green with these sticks, expect them to drop and perhaps back up. If 150 yards in is where you want to pick up your game, look no further. From the seven to the five it is mid-trajectory to boring, but you can work the clubs. Distance control is the best I have ever experienced. They dial in distances when hit on the money. You don’t have to worry about hitting the same eight iron 130 or 160 with the same good, on center, swing. That is not going to happen as with some other clubs. When hit a bit off center, the 704’s only lose little distance. A cast club may lose no distance; these loose a small amount distance. This is not a disadvantage in my opinion, rather an advantage because it gives you a map of how to get better. I am already seeing improvement in my game. I consider the 704’s to be forgiving. Unforgiving (my definition) would be a muscle back club not perfectly struck. If you are concerned about these clubs not being forgiving, don’t worry about it if you have a good swing. Overall, in my judgment, if you have a consistent swing and want to get better with a forged iron, these are the best irons I have used and I strongly recommend them. I am a thirteen and have trended in my last few games towards a ten. To me, that says it all.
