I am a 15 handicapper and I am about to purchase my first set of Titleist irons. There is a set of DCI golds available and 755's. I won't be able to hit before purchasing. I have played Ping ISI's and Taylormade r7 Draws. You have raved about your DCI golds. What would be a better way to go the DCI's or the 755's?

Well I spent a couple hours today checking out the AP 2s and the pro at the range said: "In terms of performance your 755s may get a little more loft, but other than that they equal the AP2." So I think I have at least another year on my 755s.

I was hitting my 755's 6 iron the other day on the range and also a demo AP2 6 iron. I noticed I hit the 755 better than the AP2 and the 755 was getting slightly longer distance. I'm holding onto my 755s also.

Hopefully, these clubs are appropriate for my skill level and I am not in over my head. I guess the upside is I have played with blades my whole life and these are replacing my 18 year old Mizuno's so with them being more forgiving I might be helped out a bit. I was debating buying some pings but when I saw these (and convinced them to drop the price $60 I just had to get them.

I am going to get fitted by someone a club pro highly recommends soon so I will be hooked up with the best set of clubs that are suited for me for the first time in my life. Now what excuses will I have for rounds in the 90's and 80's?

Thanks for the review...I no longer have buyers remorse from picking these up untested!

B: I intend on keeping the 755s in my bag until they wear out. I would imagine the grooves on the 755s are conforming; even if they aren't, the grandfather phase for us non-tour players is long enough that we'll certainly be onto something new by the time the change comes.

Thanks Don. Just one last thing though that I hope you can put to rest about the Tri-Spec shaft. I have those shafts in my irons and haven't noticed any real problem. However, there seems to be way too much said about Tri-Spec shafts. I've read that they're 'too heavy' or they cause an unacceptably high trajectory or just that others 'are better'. I've never seen so much ado about a shaft. It's as if they are grossly inferior to all other shafts or made made out of kryptonite.

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

If you could keep the emotion out of it, I'd try both the 755 & the AP2. If they came even close to being equal in performance when you tried them, I'd go for the 755. As I said in an earlier post, I'm very happy with my 755s. The reduced price of the 755 would be an added bonus also!!!

If you have a look at the player equipment profiles on the Titleist website, many of the professionals are playing with superseded clubs in their bag. Obviously the particular clubs, albeit superseded, are quality & suit the relevant touring pros who carry them.

Anyway, they're my thoughts. Good luck with your choice.
