I'm currently playing the 690cbs and love them but I've gotten the itch for a new set of irons and am definitely going Titleist. I've narrowed the choices down to the 755s or the 735cms. Any advice on the choice and the main differences between the irons? I know the 735s are a blended set. Other than that, are these irons pretty similar? Thanks for any input.

kfloyd, I posed a related question to a very knowledgable and highly respected contributor to this forum: Gas_Can.

He indicated "In the case of the 735's, the sweet spot of the club moves fairly considerably from the heel biased pitching wedge to the almost toe biased three iron. The bounce numbers are different, with a high bounce three iron, and a low bounce short irons. So if you are a sweeper or a digger, at one end of the specturm you may encounter problems in soft or hard conditions". Gas_Can's assessment of the 755s was very favourable. He pointed out that "...they have a thin topline, minimal offset, and a mid sized sole, but also a full cavity for forgiveness and a high ball flight which is especially great in the long irons. Also, since they are stainless steel, they will last considerably longer than the carbon steel forgings..." I hope he doesn't mind me passing this information along and I would highly recommend that you drop him a note if you need more information. Good luck, Tommy

Tommy,

No problem passing on my information, it saved me quite a bit of time, as I was just about to chime in on this thread. However, I mis-worded one of my statements, and should clarify it, and hopefully provide a bit more information as to why I said what I said. When I stated that the sweet spot moves "considerably" that was bad wording. Considerably is a very relative term, and it indicates quite a bit, which isn't true. However, the movement of the sweetspot throughout the 735's is noticeable. Titleist recognized this and tried to alleviate the problem with the hosel plugs; however, that didn't solve the problem entirely. Strike the 9 iron a little on the toe and you will notice some drastic distance loss. Strike the 755's on the toe and you will not notice nearly as much. I am not a big fan of any combo sets on the market. They're a great idea on paper, but making a set that truly flows well is an almost impossible task since you're approaching a full fledged cavity in the long irons and a difficult to hit blade in the short irons. I think of all the manufacturers I think Bridgestone comes the closest, with the J33 combos. That is mostly due to their phenomenal sole grind which suits both diggers and sweepers equally well. Furthermore, no matter how good of a ball striker you are, you might be surprised at the number of times you need a little forgiveness in the short irons. It's one of those things players often don't realize until it's gone. For the players I fit, I highly recommend either buying a set of blades, or cavity backs depending on which one they are comfortable with. There are plenty of cavity backs on the market with the thin topline, small blade size, and clean visuals of a true blade these days such as the Adams Pro Forged, Bridgestone J33 cavity, and Titleist 695CB's so there's not need to sacrifice some forgiveness for visuals. Also, trajectory control can be moderated with minor loft tweaking more effectively than moving club head center of gravity.

These should help, too:

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
