Greetings my fellow golfers. So I've been using my 690 mb irons for the last couple years-ish and i love them. I have a reserved set of 695 mb irons and I'm thinking about throwing them in the bag or selling them (695's are brand new in the plastic in the box). So my question is, bad idea? or good idea? I know the specs between both of them and I'm starting to favor the 695's but I could use more convincing. Thanks
Driver: Taylormade R7 Superquad TP 8.5 (Fujikura Motore F1 75 X-Stiff)

Well, if you love your 690s, stick with them. I doubt there will be much of a performance increase as long as the shafts are the same. Maybe you should sell the 695s and buy other clubs.

One more thing, checked on eBay, people selling moderately used 695s for over 350. New ones could probably fetch almost 450.

I got a brand new set of 695.MBs last October and since then, I've taken 10 shots off my handicap. (however, this might be down to my short-game and putting though which has gotten a lot better)

I only got these cos I couldn't find a new set of 690.MBs and I couldn't afford a new set of ZMs!

Anyway, I'm happy with them - they're my first full set of bladed-irons and I've only been playing 18 months.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 33 (13 Dec 25) - Worked on weight shift and resetting the left heel during downswing (after listening to a discussion on Golf School this morning on PGA Tour Radio).  It centered on how Jack Nicklaus lifted his lead heel and how long driver champs do as well.  Taking cues from that discussion, worked an exaggerated feel of the left heel working doing some swing drill in the backyard using the 7i.  Wrapped up the session by hitting a few low bump and run shots in the backyard - keeping the process slow and exaggerated.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
