If your Titleist 690's are wore out, and you were happy with them, why not just get another set.

You can usually find an almost new set on eBay for a decent price.

hey guys im in need of new irons.only blades though.wat are some good ones i like so many..i need help,my 690s are wore out

IMO, there are blades and there are players blades. IN my mind a players blade has a narrow sole and is more mid weighted. Where as a blade has a wider sole and bottom weighted.

Player blades--MacGregor 1025 V-foil or the 675's. Ben Hogan Apex, the new Nike V blades, Mizuno MP-67. I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones that come to mind right now. Of those, I've been very happy with the MacGregor 1025 V-foils, but they don't put up with a lot of slop in the swing.

I would focus on some more forgiving, slight cavity clubs. Blades are fun to play with, but will benefit from a forgiving.

Look at the : AP2, R7 TP, and Mizuno 52 or 62

I strongly recommend the MP67's. As a 9 handicap I have no trouble hitting them solidly. I figure you should be able to pure them being a 5 and all. I got mine brand new for $500 about a year ago. They are forgiving and workable, and sexy as well. The Pro M's previously mentioned are also good. I got a demo 7 iron when Macgregor was giving them away and I would recommend them as well. The price is unbeatable, Mac cant even give them away.

Just ordered my Nike VR Blades. Can't wait to hit them. I went to the Golfer's Warehouse and did an iron fitting. The Cleveland blades were really good also. Didn't care for the Taylormade ar Mizuno. Just a personal choice, not an indictment on their quality, I just didn't hit them as well as the Nike or Cleveland. It might be because I tend to hit it closer to the toe. Nike put more weight out there. I hope this doesn't kill me when I get the lie adjusted to 2 degrees flat. Should allow me to hit closer to the center.

Since I hit such a low ball, I ordered the high launch Rifle shafts.

good luck with your new blades!

Did you have a hard time hitting the long irons? I want blades, but am afraid that the long irons will kill me. Also how did the iron fitting go at golfers warehouse? I am thinking of getting mine done there.

You can always get a combo set if you want blades but would like a little extra forgiveness in the long irons. Companies like Mizuno allow you to order a set where you could have 3-6 iron in a MP-62, and the 7-PW in MP-67. Just something to consider.

My blades have not arrived yet. I have only hit the 6 iron. However, I did not order the 3 iron. My plan is to stick with my 5 wood then move to a hybrid later.

The iron fitting went well. My mistake when doing it was, they ask you what your goal is, more distance, accuracy... I chose accuracy. Mistake. Reason that was a mistake for me, is that I need my irons to be 2* flat. I am 5'5". Since theclubs I hit were standard, my draw was accentuated. No surprise. What I should have concentrated on was distance. They were all close as far as accuracy, however, not with distance. The fact that I drew the ball quite a bit, made my overall "score" go down. The fitter agreed that if my club had been flatter, I would not have drawn the ball so much and that would have yielded better results. I also noted that the distance indication consistently registered my shots ~10yards shorter than my range distances. And that's outdoors cold (37 degrees) vs indoors warm. The fitter corraborated my suspicion and said they see about a ~10 yard under-distance. Overall, I really enjoyed the process of the fitting. However, it is nerve-wracking to know that someone is "judging" your every swing. Since I hit them well, I guess it will hold up on the course. I did have a hard time going through my swing progression since I kept thinking about this guy watching me. My advice would be to ignore the fitter and concentrate on your swing. Who cares what he thinks?

Where did you get fit?

Didn't they have at least 1 iron that was 2* flat for you to use? When I was fit the fitter had every combination of iron available (at least for the 6 iron).

No they didn't. I wished they had though. I have to watch out for a "strong" draw when I hit standard lie clubs. Being short makes it difficult to demo clubs.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      By iacas · Posted

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
