Having only been playing golf for 1yr and 2 days, I have now got myself down to a 18 handicap, and the only clubs I get 'on with' are the 695MB's (odd I know). I can hit them really great, but struggle with the 3 & 4 & 5 iron....

...SO... I went and bought the 695CB's.

Question: What would be the perfect combo from each to balance the set (3-6 in CB, and 7-PW in MB?).

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

I think every individual has their breaking point. I'd probably start with musclebacks at the 5-iron. Others wouldn't start until the 8-iron (like Titleist's 735.CM set).

The answer, unfortunately, is "it's up to you." If you already own both sets... mix and match.

Thanks Erik - Thats why I didnt go ahead and buy the 735's, as it seemed odd to me starting at the 8. The 695mb's are cracking clubs though, accurate, but agreed will kill you if you are having one of those 'fat-all' days.

I have both sets with DG SL lite shafts, so I guess I'll work it out through good old effort. Hate the standard titleist stock grips though.

    • 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.      
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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
