Like the title says...

Been browsing the forums for a long time, and finally broke down and registered. Long story short, I found some old Titleist irons on my local FB market, and would like to know if anyone has ever seen/played them, or has any info on them. 

Titleist B-33 irons, 2-pw. I believe they are circa 1986, but can't find much more on them. Would like to know what tip diameter they have...they currently have a True Temper Dynamic (s) shaft installed, which seems a bit on the heavy side. 

Any help/info would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum.  Since you been browsing for a while I guess you know what it can offer.  No idea what those clubs are.  I have a Dunlop set from 1986 and had older sets from the 1970's but we lost those while moving.  So I know that those clubs will be nice to play if you hit them well.  Don't look at re-shafting unless you need to

What's in the bag

  • Taylor Made r5 dual Draw 9.5* (stiff)
  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)
  • Taylor Made RAC OS 6-9,P,S (regular)
  • Golden Bear LD5.0 60* (regular)
  • Aidia Z-009 Putter
  • Inesis Soft 500 golf ball

Welcome.  Those clubs are old enough that there is a good chance they have tapered bores.  I don't know, off the top of my head, when parallel bores were introduced.  Could be a bit of Googling will sort that out.  I'll let you know if I find anything useful.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Back again.  Could be either or as True Temper introduced the "Unitized" shaft in the early 70's.  The only way to know for certain is to pull a head (I'd recommend the longest iron) and measure the tip diameter.  Tapered iron shafts are .355 at the very end...parallel shafts are .370.

Thank for the feedback guys! Yeah, from what I could find out they were the 1986 model. Not much else out there. Foam filled with brass inserts. I will probably pull the 2 iron (that I will never even attempt to hit, lol). Taking them out for a spin in the AM. Regripped 4-pw with Pure DTX in green, in honor of the 5th green jacket! Got to go to my 1st PGA tournament ever last Sunday...what a day that was!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 20: 12/30/2024 I've been working on my swing in front of the mirror today. Spent a lot of time at slow speed, mid speed and a couple at full speed. I just came back in from the garage where I practiced my PPJ swing by hitting about 10 balls with the 6-iron into my net.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I'm just guessing here. But couldn't Titleist build a mini-driver with a very low center of gravity? Then it would work off the deck. The deep face wouldn't be as problematic.  I'm just spit-balling. I know nothing about this product.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, but a deeper face makes it not as useful off the fairway. This is why the driver is not easy to hit off the fairway.  For a select few PGA Tour players, it might be good. The concept of the mini driver has been around for a long time now. Very few ever keep it in their bag. This is a guess, but probably because it sucks off the ground. Nothing here looks like it is any different than the other mini drivers of the past.  I get it from Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris point of view. They hit the ball a long way. The odds they ever hit a 3-wood off the turf is like what, a handful a times a year? They probably would hit it 98% off the tee and 2% off the ground. They probably want something that think is longer off the tee versus their 3-wood because they don't hit the 3-wood off the ground much at all.  This is where I say, Titleist claiming "worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck." is more marketing than something that is actually beneficial to a golfer. This is primarily for off the tee.
