Im partial to the DCI 981s, but its not as if any Titleist irons are bad. Ive heard great things about all of the new Titleist irons, but Im not sure that its worth spending the money for new ones when you could buy used irons that would probably work just as well and spend a lot less money.
Ive been watching quite a few sets on Ebay and they all go for $100-150. You just gotta be careful who you buy from. Make sure its a reputable seller who has at least a 99% rating and is a, "power seller".

I hit the new AP's well but couldn't get past their aesthetic qualities out of head, looking down at them they are ugly!

Ive been playing my 690.MB forged blades for 4 years and they are in my opinion, still the best irons Titleist ever made. It's what Nike set out to exactly duplicate for Tiger(which he wanted). Honestly though, Titleist duplicated the original Mizuno Mp33 so the three sets are actually almost identical...

put it to you this way, after they discontinued the model 690.MB I bought another brand new set that has been stored in my basement for years, so I know I will always get to use this exact model, even when my current set is worn out many years down the road.

Titleist irons are starting to stray and look very much like all the other manufacturers..gimicky...with big fat top lines....which is disappointing. Bottom line though, is truly how they perform. and these are perfect for me.

the new titleist AP's aren't that unattractive...i don't get that.

they may not be what the "standard" iron is in appearance but golf has to move forward and these clubs are a natural progression for club technology in the game.

I think a lot of people like the looks of blades but still want a club that is very forgiving.

Personally, I think my Knight irons are ugly too, but as long as they hit shots that look go and make the ball go where I want, I couldnt care less what they look like. I'll take pretty scores over pretty clubs any day. Id personally love to have a set of forged blades, but with the way my swing comes and goes (some days I am dead-on accurate with my irons and can make the ball take 2 hops and stop, other days I could hit a decent iron shot if my life depended on it), I want something that is forgiving.

As for best new... I'm really like the AP line. I wish I could hit the AP2's consistently cause I like the thinner line and smaller head, but got the AP1's cause they are the club for me. I really love them. Pure shots feel unbelievable.

I love the 695 cb's
They were the first Players club that I fell in love with.
But I would have to agree with b-squared. The 660's are like magic.

AP2's are the best thing I have seen come from Titleist for some time! We have 4 sets on back order. They can't get them out the door! (Plus True Temper had about 10,000 shafts fail expection!!!)

I have the 695MB's and they look stunning, cant hit them so they stay in my "for when i get good enough" bag. I'll stick to my Wilson Staffs for now

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
